Description
A colorless, odorless crystalline solid that is usually sold as an aqueous solution. Phosphoric acid is produced from phosphate rock deposits by either a wet process or a heat process. It is used in the manufacture of Sugar, Gelatin, soaps, detergents, polishes, fertilizers, and pharmaceuticals. Phosphoric acid is also used to an etch stone or metal lithograph plates. Phosphoric acid solutions (10-20%) have also been used to clean Iron, Copper, Brass, and Bronze (Stambolov et. al 1987).
