Industrial Chemicals

Nitric acid with a chemical formula HNO3 is also known as aqua fortis or the spirit of nitre and is extremely corrosive and toxic strong acid. Colorless when pure, its older samples tend to acquire a strong yellow cast due to the accumulation of oxides of nitrogen. This highly reactive oxidizing agent used in the production of fertilizers, explosives, and rocket fuels and in many industrial metallurgical processes.

Acetic Acid is an organic acid, from which vinegar gets its sour taste and pungent smell. This acid is weak and is only a partially dissociated acid, when in an aqueous solution. Pure, water-free acetic acid is a colorless liquid, which absorbs water from the environment and freezes at 16.5°C (62 °F) to a crystalline solid. The pure acid, and concentrated solutions, are dangerously corrosive. Mainly used in soft drink bottles, cellulose acetate, photographic film etc, this is one of the simplest carboxylic acids.

Health And Safety Information :

Formic acid is also called methanoic acid is the simplest carboxylic acid, but can also be viewed as an aldehyde. Its a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent odor and infinite solubility. It decomposes easily in the environment into carbon oxides and water. It acts as an important intermediate in chemical synthesis and occurs naturally, most notably in the venom of bee and ant stings.

Applications :
Formic acid find application as a coagulant for obtaining rubber from latex, as an auxiliary agent for delining and pickling of fur fixing of dyes in the leather industry and in processing of textile industry. These acid also find application as an intermediate in manufacturing of basic drugs, plant protection agents, pesticides, vulcanization accelerators etc. Formic Acid are also used in preservation of silage and grams. It is also used in electroplating and can be used as a solvent as well.

Sulphuric acid, is represented by the chemical formula H2SO4, is a strong mineral acid. It has a strong pungent odour and is off white to light yellowish white in color. Soluble in water, it is highly corrosive and an oxidizer. Sulphuric acid has many applications, in lead-acid batteries for cars and other vehicles, ore processing, fertilizer manufacturing, oil refining, wastewater processing, and chemical synthesis.

Hydrochloric acid is a clear, colorless solution of hydrogen chloride (HCl) in water. It has a pungent odour and is highly corrosive, strong mineral acid and has major industrial uses. It is found naturally in gastric acid. It is a poisonous liquid which is highly soluble in water. Its a versatile product that is used for a wide range of application ranging from pickling of steel, regeneration of ion exchangers , effluent treatment to preparation of gelatin etc.

Ammonium Sulfate is an inorganic salt with a number of commercial uses. It is widely used as an artificial fertilizer, for lowering the pH balance of the soil, while contributing essential nitrogen for plant growth etc. It also finds application as an agricultural spray, adjuvant for water soluble insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides.

Potassium Iodide is an odorless inorganic compound, occurring as white crystals with 140 grams/100 gm solubility in water. Potassium iodide is used medicinally in tablets and to prepare for thyroid surgery. It is highly applicable to treat high thyroid levels and to protect the thyroid in a radiation emergency. It is also used as an expectorant which may help loosen and break up mucous.

The chemical composition of Potassium Iodide is mentioned below:
Potassium Iodide is a simple ionic salt, K+I-. Since the iodide ion is a mild reducing agent, I- is easily oxidized to I2 by powerful oxidising agents such as chlorine:
2 KI(aq) + Cl₂(aq) 2 KCl + I₂(aq)

Even air will oxidize iodide as evidenced by the observation of a purple extract when KI is rinsed with dichloromethane. Under acidic conditions, KI is oxidised even more easily, due to the formation of hydroiodic acid (HI), which is a powerful reducing agent.[1][2][3][4] KI forms I₃- when combined with elemental iodine. KI(aq) + I₂(s) KI₃(aq)

Ammonium Persulfate, with a chemical formula (NH4)2S2O8 is an odorless white crystals. A strong oxidizing agent, it is extremely soluble in cold water. Compatible with tin etch resist, it is a radical initiator. It is used to etch copper on printed circuit boards as an alternative to ferric chloride solution, it acts as an alternative to the traditional ferric chloride etc.
