| Application: | Nitric acid is used: • As an oxidizing agent with sulfuric acid to graft the carboxylic acid over CNT (carbon nanotubes) to produce CNT-COOH. • In the combustion method to adjust the pH of the solution to 7. It is one of the steps in the preparation of mixed magnetite–hematite nanoparticles. • As a nitrating agent with sulfuric acid in the synthesis of 8-nitro-7-hydroxy-4-methy |
| General description: | Nitric acid is generally used as a primary reagent for the nitration and oxidation of organic molecules. It is also used as a strong oxidizing agent in organic synthesis to perform oxidative transformations. In addition, nitric acid is also used in the manufacturing of intermediate for polyurethanes and polyamides production. |
