Phosphoric acid

Phosphoric acid is actually a kind of weak acid that is sold in two industrial and edible grades with a purity of 54 and 85% and is also known as orthophosphoric acid.
This material is used in industrial grade in various sectors of the industry such as agriculture, pharmaceutical, dyeing, textile, etc., and the following can be mentioned among its uses:

• In the production of colors and pigments
• In the medical industry in the production of antibiotics and penicillin
• Production of detergents
• Textile and leather making
• In agriculture to produce fertilizer, including pistachio fertilizer
• Production of chemicals such as propylene and ethylbenzene
• In livestock and poultry industry
• In the food industry as a preservative and acidity regulator

One of the main foods that we all use, but we don’t know that phosphoric acid is used in it, is black soft drinks.

This product plays an important role in the production of detergents; Detergents such as soap, toothpaste, and washing powders are based on phosphoric acid, in fact, it can be said that detergents based on this acid have a very high cleaning speed and can remove the remaining deposits of cement mortar well.

This material has a high cleaning ability that removes the toughest stains from surfaces, hence it is used in the production of toilet acid.

It is also known as a water ph stabilizer and as an antiseptic it removes any type of pollution from the surface of the fabric. In fact, phosphoric acid reduces the hardness of water and as a result causes foaming of detergents and their better dissolution in water. In general, this substance is used to soften the water and remove any kind of sediments.

This material is so widely used in agriculture that its important role cannot be ignored. Since phosphorus is a very important element for plant growth, phosphoric acid is also known as the biggest source of this element for better plant growth, which can adjust the pH of the soil and supply the phosphorus needed by the soil and plant roots; Therefore, this substance is used in phosphate and superphosphate fertilizers and causes better growth of plants.

This substance is very widely used, both imported and domestically produced, and China is known as one of the largest producers of this product, which usually sells this product by the gallon. It is also interesting to know that phosphoric acid has been produced in Iran’s Razi Petrochemical.
