General
- Hydrochloric
acid is the solution of hydrogen chloride (HCl) in water.
- HCl is a
highly corrosive, strong mineral acid, and therefore has major
industrial use. It is found naturally in gastric acid.
- Historically
called muriatic acid and spirit of salt, hydrochloric acid was
produced from vitriol and common salt.
- The physical
properties of hydrochloric acid, such as boiling and melting
points, density, and pH depend on the concentration or molarity of
HCl in the acid solution.
Process
- The
hydrochloric acid produced at Kemira Kemi AB in Helsingborg is
yellow. This colour needs to be removed to increase the market.
- The
hydrochloric acid production at Helsingborg is based on a
reaction between sulphuric acid and potassium chloride in
natural gas heated ovens.
- Chlorine
and hydrogen react exothermally to form hydrogen chloride gas.
-
Hydrochloric acid is also made during fluorination of
chlorinated organic products to manufacture chlorofluorocarbons.
Applications
-
Hydrochloric acid is used in the chemical industry as a
chemical reagent in the production of vinyl chloride for PVC
plastic.
-
High-quality hydrochloric acid is used in the regeneration of
ion exchange resins.
- HCl has
numerous smaller-scale applications, including the production
of gelatin and other food additives, descaling agents and in
leather processing.
-
Hydrochloric acid is a strong inorganic acid that is used in
many industrial processes. The application often determines
the required product quality.
Report
-
Hydrochloric Acid is imported mainly for use in laboratory
purposes as reagent by some quality control laboratories in
industries.
-
Aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid, sulfamic acid and
sulfuric acid of 2% concentrations were prepared with
addition of IBIT corrosion inhibitor.
- The
rapid development of China's caustic soda industry and
hydrochloric acid downstream sector has provided a good
development and making hydrochloric acid production and
consumption continuously maintain a steady development.
