Product Usage-Phosphoric Acid 85%

  • The dominant use of phosphoric acid is for fertilizers, consuming approximately 90% of production.
  • Food additive:Food-grade phosphoric acid is used to acidify foods and beverages such as various colas and jams.
  • It provides a tangy or sour taste. Various salts of phosphoric acid, such as monocalcium phosphate, are used as leavening agents.Phosphoric acid in soft drinks has the potential to cause dental erosion.
  • Phosphoric acid also has the potential to contribute to the formation of kidney stones, especially in those who have had kidney stones previously.
  • Rust removal:Phosphoric acid may be used to remove rust by direct application to rusted iron, steel tools, or other surfaces.
  • The phosphoric acid changes the reddish-brown iron(III) oxide, Fe2O3 (rust), to ferric phosphate, FePO4.
  • Liquid phosphoric acid may be used for dipping, but phosphoric acid for rust removal is more often formulated as a gel.
  • As a thick gel, it may be applied to sloping, vertical, or even overhead surfaces.
  • Different phosphoric acid gel formulations are sold as "rust removers," "rust killers" or "naval jelly." Multiple applications of phosphoric acid may be required to convert all rust.
  • Rust may also be removed by phosphate conversion coating.
  • This process can leave a black phosphate coating that provides moderate corrosion resistance.
  • Medicine:Phosphoric acid is used in dentistry and orthodontics as an etching solution, to clean and roughen the surfaces of teeth where dental appliances or fillings will be placed.
  • Phosphoric acid is also an ingredient in over-the-counter anti-nausea medications that also contain high levels of sugar (glucose and fructose).
  • This acid is also used in many teeth whiteners to eliminate plaque that may be on the teeth before application.

Other applications

  • As a solution for anodizing.
  • As an external standard for phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance (31P NMR).
  • As a buffer agent in biology and chemistry. For example, a buffer for high-performance liquid chromatography.
  • As a chemical oxidizing agent for activated carbon production, as used in the Wentworth process.
  • As the electrolyte in phosphoric acid fuel cells.
  • With distilled water (2–3 drops per gallon) as an electrolyte in oxyhydrogen generators.
  • As a catalyst in the hydration of alkenes to produce alcohols, predominantly ethanol.
  • As an electrolyte in copper electropolishing for burr removal and circuit-board planarization.
  • As a flux by metal workers and hobbyists (such as model railroaders) as an aid to soldering.
  • In compound semiconductor processing, phosphoric acid is a common wet etching agent: for example, in combination with hydrogen peroxide and water it is used to etch InGaAs selecti.
