Production Method

Phosphoric Acid is mainly produced via two methods:

  1. Wet Process – Reaction of sulfuric acid with phosphate rock.

  2. Thermal Process – Combustion of elemental phosphorus with air and water absorption.


Raw Materials

  • Phosphate rock

  • Sulfuric acid

  • Elemental phosphorus (for thermal process)


Working Principle

Phosphoric Acid works as a strong acid, capable of chelating metal ions, adjusting pH, and participating in acid-base reactions, making it valuable as a rust remover, flavoring agent, and fertilizer component.


Application Fields

  • Food Industry: Used as an acidulant, pH regulator, and preservative.

  • Fertilizers: A key raw material in producing phosphate fertilizers.

  • Water Treatment: For scale prevention and corrosion inhibition.

  • Metal Surface Treatment: Removes rust and prepares surfaces for coating.

  • Pharmaceuticals: Intermediate in drug manufacturing.


Details:

  • E Number: E338

  • Name: Phosphoric Acid

  • Function: Acidulant (used to control acidity), emulsifier, and preservative.

  • Usage: Commonly found in:

    • Soft drinks (especially colas) to give a tangy taste.
