AREAS OF APPLICATION

HCl plays an important role in the manufacture of a wide range of consumer products. Because hydrochloric acid is a reactive liquid, it serves in the production of water treatment chemicals, batteries and feed phosphates. Other applications include its use for metal surface treatments, removing scale and rust from steel during the steel pickling process.

HCl’s ability to adjust the pH level of substances makes it useful as a food additive. The compound is also used to break down enzymes in the processing of corn syrups and hydrolysed vegetable oils, and as an acidifier in food products such as soy sauce.

Hydrochloric acid’s neutralising capacity makes it well suited for water treatment applications. In industrial wastewater treatment, HCl emulsifies and breaks down oils and food waste. In steel production, this wastewater treatment process is crucial to remain compliant with environmental wastewater regulations.
