Applications
Used extensively in the production of ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and calcium nitrate, which are key components in fertilizers.
Nitric Acid is a key ingredient in manufacturing explosives like dynamite and nitroglycerin, due to its role in nitration reactions.
Nitric Acid is involved in the synthesis of chemicals like nitrobenzene, aniline, and other nitro derivatives, which are used in dyes, drugs, and pharmaceuticals.
Used to remove oxides and rust from metals, particularly in the steel industry.
Acrylic Fiber Production: Nitric acid is a precursor in the production of acrylic fibers, which are used in textiles and other industrial applications.
Involved in the synthesis of drugs and pharmaceutical intermediates, especially in processes requiring nitro derivatives.
Nitric Acid is used in photo-engraving and other industrial etching processes.
Liquid Rocket Propellants: In aerospace and defense, it is used as an oxidizer in liquid rocket propellants.
