Palvi Chemical as one of the well-known Nitric Acid manufacturers in Brazil in this blog discusses about the types, uses and reactions of nitric acid. Nitric Acid Uses a)Nitric acid works as a laboratory protic solvent. b)A conjugate acid of a nitrate - nitric acid is widely used in the fertilizers and explosives industry. c)Fuming nitric acid is used in the explosive industry. d)Nitric acid is used to manufacture terephthalic acid. e)Nitric acid is used to manufacture organic compounds. f)Nitric acid is used in the formation of explosives like nitroglycerin and trinitrotoluene. g)Nitric acid is used in the production process of many chemical intermediates.

  2. Palvi Chemical is a Nitric Acid supplier in Brazil. Nitric Acid Types There are two types of Nitric Acid: a)Nitric Acid with 68% HNO3. b)Nitric Acid with 98% HNO3. This is called Fuming Nitric Acid. Palvi Chemical is a Nitric Acid distributor in Brazil. Nitric Acid Reactions The freezing point of nitric acid is −42 °C [−44 °F]. The boiling point of nitric acid is 83 °C [181 °F]. For some acids like sulfuric acid, nitric acid can act as a base. Some important reactions of Nitric Acid are as follows: a)Neutralization with ammonia in formation of ammonium nitrate b)Nitration of glycerol and toluene c)Manufacturing process of nitrocellulose d)Oxidation of metals to the corresponding oxides or nitrates For all kinds of bulk order of nitric acid in Brazil, feel free to contact Palvi Chemical.
