Frequently Asked Questions

What is nitric acid used for in industry?

HNO₃ is used in fertilizer production (ammonium nitrate), organic chemical synthesis, metal etching and electronics manufacturing. In mining, it supports metal dissolution and metallurgical process adjustment.

What is the difference between nitric acid and sulfuric acid?

Nitric acid is a strong oxidizing acid suited to nitration reactions and metal dissolution. Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) is a non-volatile acid used for dehydration, fertilizer and high-temperature processes — selection depends on application chemistry.

What concentration does industrial nitric acid require?

Industrial applications typically require HNO₃ content ≥68% with chloride ≤0.5 ppm, heavy metals (as Pb) ≤0.2 ppm and sulfate ≤1 ppm. Typical market specifications may include the following; final specifications are confirmed by grade, batch and current documentation with CoA verification.

What is the HS code and hazard class for nitric acid?

The export HS code is 2808000090. This is a Class 8 corrosive substance and strong oxidizer. YuXing provides TDS, MSDS and CoA to support customs clearance and regulated transport.

How is nitric acid packaged for export?

YuXing supplies nitric acid in export-standard packaging — approved packaging confirmed by current order and regulations — suitable for Class 8 corrosive chemicals per destination requirements.
