What is Phosphoric Acid?
H3PO4 or Phosphoric Acid is an inorganic acid with high acidity, clear in appearance and odorless, widely used in all industries. It can be synthesized through the reaction between sulfuric acid and phosphate rock or by using thermal methods. It is a crucial material in the production of fertilizers because it is essential in food processing and surface treatment, as well as in agriculture due to its multipurpose uses as a pH adjuster and an integrating part in chemical formulations.
Common Applications
- Food and Beverage Industry: Acts as a flavoring agent and regulator of acidity in processed food items and soft drinks.
- Metal Treatment: Used in cleaning, pickling, and rust removal of metals.
- Water Treatment: Acts as a corrosion and scaling controller in industrial systems.
- Pharmaceuticals: Utilized in the production of various drugs in addition to dental cements.
- Detergents: Used in industrial cleaning supply formulations.
- Electronics: Used in semiconductor surface preparation and etching as well as in other applications.
