Overview
ORC Chem is one of the best hydrochloric acid suppliers located in the heart of Selangor, Malaysia. As one of the best hydrochloric acid suppliers, it supplies only the best quality to its clients.
Hydrochloric acid is also known as muriatic acid and is an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride. The chemical is a colourless solution with a unique sharp smell. Classified as a strong acid, it’s a component of gastric acid that you can find in the digestive systems of most animal species, including humans. It is an important acid that act as a laboratory reagent and industrial chemical.
Chemical Function/Application
Hydrochloric acid is typically used in many industrial usages, such as refining metal. However, it can also be used in other industrial organic chemistry products too. The usage of hydrochloric acid often determines the final required product quality.
Steel Pickling
Steel pickling or pickling or steel means to remove rust or iron oxide scale from iron or steel before processing it. If a steel has not undergone pickling, it cannot be used for subsequent processing such as extrusion, rolling, galvanizing and other uses and methods.
Produce Inorganic Compounds
Hydrochloric acid is also used to dissolve a lot of metals, metal oxides, and metal carbonates. After that, the chemical will be further used to produce metal chlorides for analysis or more chemical productions.
Lab Uses
Hydrochloric acid is one of the most common chemicals used in laboratories. Scientists and researchers often use it for titration to determine the amount of bases. It’s said that titrants from hydrochloric acid makes it a stronger titrant and offers more precise results. This is due to its more distinct endpoint.
It’s also said that hydrochloric acid is one of the 6 most common mineral acids in chemistry and is less likely to undergo an interfering oxidation-reduction acidity. It consists of non-reactive and non-toxic chloride ion. It’s a chemical that is quite stable when stored in a lab.
pH Control and Neutralization
Hydrochloric acid is said to regulate the acidity of solutions. For any industry that demands purity (especially in F&B, pharmacy, drinking water), top-quality hydrochloric acid is used to control the pH of process water streams. In some other industries, people often use technical quality hydrochloric acid. Technical quality hydrochloric acid is more than enough to neutralize waste streams and swimming pool pH control.
Ion Exchanger Regeneration
Industries often use high-quality hydrochloric acid to regenerate ion exchange resins. They will often use cation exchange to remove ions from aqueous solutions, which produces demineralized water. The hydrochloric acid here will be used to rinse the cations from the resins.
Ion exchangers and demineralized water are used in many chemical industries. You can find them in drinking water production and many food industries too.
