 Product Description

HCl is a colorless and odorless chemical solution of Hydrogen, chloride, and water. HCl acid is also known as muriatic acid and spirit of salt or acid salts. HCl acid is a highly corrosive chemical compound and it has lots of uses and applications in Bangladesh.

Key Applications of Hydrochloric Acid in Bangladesh

Metalworking, Food, and Nutrition, Laboratory chemicals, Leather processing, Water treatment, Cleaning products, Metal Finishing, Oil and Gas, pH control, etc.

Applications of Hydrochloric Acid 

•  Apply for the production of organic compounds : Hydrochloric acid or HCl acid has many industrial applications. One of the applications is the production of dichloroethane and vinyl chloride for organic compounds such as PVC. HCl is also used to make other organic compounds such as bisphenol A, which is used in various pharmaceutical products.

•  For the production of inorganic compounds : Hydrochloric acid or HCl acid is highly used in the preparation of inorganic compounds. Water treatment chemicals such as poly aluminum chloride (PAC) and iron (III) chloride are used as coagulation and flocculation agents in drinking water production, sewage treatment, and paper production.

• Used to Remove the Metal Stains : Hydrochloric acid is a very corrosive acid. It is used to remove stains from metal. It can clean iron, copper, brass, and other metals; however, one should dilute it by adding 9 parts of water to 1 part of acid. It should not be used directly on metal as it is a very strong cleaning agent.

• Hydrochloric Acid for Cleaning Pools : Although pools can be cleaned with simple detergents and scrubs, some stains that stick to tiles are not easy to remove. In that case, hydrochloric acid comes in handy. Here too, 1 part acid to 10 parts water should be added to make a pool-cleaning solution.

•  Used for Digestion of Food : Gastric juice in the human stomach also contains hydrochloric acid which helps in the digestion of food. It acidifies the contents of the stomach.

• Apply for Refining table salt : Hydrochloric acid or HCl acid is used to purify table salt in Pharmaceutical Industries.

• For neutralization and pH control : It is used to control the acidity (pH) of solutions. It is used to control the pH of pharmaceutical products, food, and drinking water. HCl is also used to neutralize waste streams (containing alkaline substances).

•  Used for Regeneration of Ion Exchangers : HCl is used in the regeneration of ion exchange resins. It is used to leach cations from resins. Demineralized water and ion exchangers are used in drinking water production, all chemical industries, and many food industries in Bangladesh.

•  Application of Hydrochloric Acid in oil Production : Hydrochloric acid is used in the oil production process. When the acid is injected into the rock, it creates a large-pore structure, which stimulates oil production.

•  Used in Laboratory for Research and Analysis : Most schools, colleges, and universities used Hydrochloric Acid for Different types of Practical Experiments and for cleaning lab equipment.

Safety Precautions:

• Due to its corrosive nature, precautions must be taken when handling hydrochloric acid. Protective gear, such as gloves and goggles, should be worn.

• It should be used in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes.
• It should be stored away from incompatible substances.

Storage Condition :

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) should be stored and handled with care due to its corrosive and reactive nature. Here are some guidelines for the storage of hydrochloric acid:

• Container: Store hydrochloric acid in containers made of materials that are resistant to corrosion, such as glass or certain types of plastic (such as high-density polyethylene or PVC). Ensure that the container is tightly sealed to prevent fumes from escaping.

• Location: Store hydrochloric acid in a well-ventilated area. Avoid storing it near incompatible substances, such as strong bases, metals, organic materials, or other reactive chemicals.

• Temperature: Store hydrochloric acid in a cool place, away from heat sources. Elevated temperatures can increase the risk of fumes being released and may lead to container failure.

• Separation: Keep hydrochloric acid containers separated from other chemicals to prevent cross-contamination. This is especially important when storing acids and bases in the same area.

• Labeling: Clearly label the storage area and containers with appropriate hazard warnings. This helps to ensure that individuals are aware of the presence of hydrochloric acid and can take necessary precautions.

• Dilution: If you need to dilute hydrochloric acid, always add acid to water slowly while stirring. Never add water to concentrated acid, as this can cause a rapid release of heat and potentially splashing.
