Chemicals

Nitric Acid production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Nitric Acid production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Nitric Acid. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Nitric Acid Production Cost Report

Nitric Acid (HNO3), or aqua fortis and spirit of niter, is a nitrogen oxoacid in which the nitrogen atom is connected to a hydroxy group and by equivalent bonds to the remaining two oxygen atoms. It functions as a reagent and a protic solvent. It is the conjugate acid of a nitrate. It is a strong oxidising agent produced by the catalytic oxidation of ammonia.

Nitric acid looks like a pale yellow to reddish brown liquid in appearance. It produces red-brown fumes and has a choking odour. It's extremely toxic upon inhalation and is corrosive to metals or tissue. The extremely corrosive liquid can also cause serious burns.

It reacts with hydroxides, metals, and oxides, forming nitrate salts. Its respective freezing, boiling, and melting points are −42 °C, 83 °C, and -42 °C. It has a molar mass of 63.01 g/mol and a density of 1.51 g/cm³. It has a pH of around 3.01. Pure anhydrous nitric acid, a colourless mobile liquid (100%), has a density of 1.512 g/cm2, which upon solidifying, forms white crystals.

Nitric Acid is primarily used to produce fertilisers and has other applications in the manufacturing of nylon precursors, explosives (like nitroglycerin and TNT), and speciality organic compounds. The acid is used to produce ammonium nitrate, which has applications in the production of plastics, fertilisers and dyes. It is also used in the polymer industry. Furthermore, upon being combined with hydrochloric acid, it forms aqua regia, which is a reagent which is used to dissolve gold and platinum. In addition, it is also used to distinguish heroin and morphine using a colourimetric test. In the medical field, it is employed in its pure form as a caustic that helps remove chancres and warts. Its diluted solutions help treat dyspepsia.

Other end-uses of the acid include chloride testing in science laboratories; as the oxidiser in liquid–fueled rockets in the digestion process of solid sludge samples, turbid water samples, and other unique samples; as a chemical doping agent in electrochemistry for organic semiconductors; to purify raw carbon nanotubes among others.
