Phosphoric Acid
Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is a clear, colourless liquid with a sharp, acidic odor. At 85% concentration, it is a highly concentrated form of phosphoric acid.
Key Benefits
- Effective where applications requiring acidity and pH adjustment
- Removes rust but also provides a protective layer on metal surfaces
- Phosphoric acid is considered relatively biodegradable
Applications
1. Food & Beverages: It is commonly used as an acidulant and pH adjuster in the food and beverage industry. It is used in carbonated beverages, such as cola drinks, to provide tartness and acidity.
2. Fertilizer Production: Key ingredient in the production of phosphate fertilizers. It is used in the production of phosphoric acid-based fertilizers, such as superphosphate and triple superphosphate, which are essential for promoting plant growth and improving crop yields.
3. Detergent and Cleaner Formulations: in the formulation of detergents and cleaners for household and industrial applications. It helps to remove mineral deposits, scale, and rust stains from various surfaces, including metal, ceramic, and glass..
4. Filler Material: Used to adjust pH levels and control alkalinity. It is also used to inhibit the formation of scale deposits in water distribution systems and industrial equipment.
