Nitric Acid (HNO₃) – Wholesale Supplier of Industrial Grade Acid

Nitric Acid, chemically represented as HNO₃, is a clear, colorless to slightly yellow liquid with a strong, acrid odor. It is a critical inorganic acid used as a chemical reagent and intermediate in the manufacture of fertilizers, dyes, plastics, and explosives. Known for its strong oxidizing and nitrating properties, nitric acid plays a key role in various industrial and laboratory processes.

Cavin Resource is a reliable bulk supplier of high-purity nitric acid, suitable for applications in the agricultural, chemical processing, aerospace, and mining industries. We support wholesale supply, bulk container shipping, and custom labeling based on buyer requirements.

⚙️ Production Method

Ostwald Process

1. Ammonia (NH₃) is oxidized in the presence of a platinum catalyst to form nitric oxide (NO).

2. The nitric oxide reacts with oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide (NO₂).

3. Nitrogen dioxide is absorbed in water to produce nitric acid (HNO₃).

4. The solution is concentrated and purified to meet industrial specifications.
