SULPHURIC ACID
Sulphuric acid is used on a very large scale.
It is used in paints and dyes, making detergents, fertilizers like ammonium sulphate and phosphate
fertilizers, as an acid in a car battery, as a dehydrating agent, leather tanning, mining industry, explosive,
synthetic rubber, as a catalyst, in metal handling and anodizing and also to evaluate the economic
expansion. It is extensively used in the chemical industry under the control of 1986 Pesticides
Regulations; Sulphuric acid is used as a farming desiccant on peas, corns, potatoes and bulbs.
PHOSPORIC ACID
Removal of Rust
One of the most common phosphoric acid uses is to remove rust from surfaces of metals. Phosphoric
acid can be used as a rust converter with the help of direct application to rusted iron, or steel tools and
other rusted surfaces. The phosphoric acid converts reddish-brown iron, that is, ferric oxide to black

9. colored ferric phosphate. After treatment with phosphoric acid, the black ferric phosphate coating can be
scrubbed off, thus, revealing fresh metal surface. However, there may be need for multiple applications of
phosphoric acid before all of the rust can be removed.
Other Phosphoric Acid Uses
Phosphoric acid is used as the electrolyte in phosphoric acid fuel cells. Phosphoric acid is also used as a
cleaner by construction trades so as to remove mineral deposits, cementinous smears and hard water
stains. Hot phosphoric acid is used in micro-fabrication to etch silicon nitride. Phosphoric acid is used as
a flux by hobbyists so as to aid in soldering. Phosphoric acid in also used in hydroponics pH solutions to
lower the pH of nutrient solutions. One of the phosphoric acid uses also includes it being used as an
electrolyte in copper electro-polishing for burr removal. In compound semiconductor processing,
phosphoric acid is a commonly used wet etching agent. Phosphoric acid is used as a pH adjuster in
cosmetics and other skin care products. It's also used as a chemical oxidizing agent for activated carbon
productions. It is used with distilled water as an electrolyte in oxyhydrogen generators.
These were the various phosphoric acid uses. This is an important acid that is prepared by different
routes. Its application in various industries ranging from metallurgy to the food industry make this a
popular acid.

PHOSPO GYPSUM
Phosphogypsum with fly ash and lime in construction industry. Phospho gypsum was used as raw and
calcined material for making the cementitous binder. A series of the tests were conducted to determine
the compressive and flexural strength, water absorption and unit weight after 28 days of the specimen
preparation. On the basis of the test results, it was concluded that the curing conditions have an important
influence on the compressive and flexural strength of the binder specimens. It was also concluded that
the cementitous binder obtained can be used for the production of interior wall materials such as bricks
and blocks.
Keywords: Fly ash; Phosphogypsum; Lime; Cementitious binder

10. As soil amendment in agriculture. This use was applied for a certain time period providing many
advantages to the fields ( excellent fertilizer source of calcium and sulphur ).
As refilling material in dead quarries of marbles. It was applied for a long time.
As road base construction material and as landfill cover after a preneutralization of the
acidity. These cases remained in the discussion phase.
As inert material (instead of the sea sand) in the N There are two ways for entering the gypsum into
fertilizer process:
Feeding it in the Preneutralizer where the fertilizer slurry is produced. This can be done also by feeding
the phosphoric slurry directly after the attack section.
Feeding it in the Granulator where normally the sand is fed.
The way, which will be chosen, depends on the process and the equipment arrangement of the
plant.PK fertilizers production.
Increasing the water content of the final fertilizer product (by about 0,2% H2O).

ALUMINIUM SULPHATE ( Ferric & Non Ferric )
Aluminium sulfate is used in water purification and as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles. In water
purification, it causes impurities to coagulate which are removed as the particulate settles to the bottom of
the container or more easily filtered. This process is called coagulation or flocculation.
When dissolved in a large amount of neutral or slightly-alkaline water, aluminium sulfate produces a
gelatinous precipitate of aluminium hydroxide, Al(OH)3. In dyeing and printing cloth, the gelatinous
precipitate helps the dye adhere to the clothing fibers by rendering the pigment insoluble.
Aluminium sulfate is sometimes used to reduce the pH of garden soil, as it hydrolyzes to form the
aluminium hydroxide precipitate and a dilute sulfuric acid solution. An example of what changing the pH
level of soil can do to plants is visible when looking at the Hydrangea macrophylla. The gardener can add
aluminium sulfate to the soil to reduce the pH level which in turn will result in the flowers of the Hydrangea
turning a different color.
Aluminium sulfate is the active ingredient of some antiperspirants; however, beginning in 2005 the US
Food and Drug Administration no longer recognized it as a wetness reducer.
Aluminium sulfate is usually found in baking powder, where there is controversy over its use due to
concern regarding the safety of adding aluminium to the diet.
In construction industry it is used as waterproofing agent and accelerator in concrete. Another use is a
foaming agent in fire fighting foam.
It is also used in styptic pencils, and pain relief from stings and bites.
It can also be very effective as a molluscicide, killing spanish slugs.

12. HYDRO CHLORIC ACID ( HCL )
Hydrochloric acid is used for a large number of small-scale applications, such as leather
processing, household cleaning and building construction.
Oil production may be stimulated by injecting hydrochloric acid into the rock formation
of an oil well, dissolving a portion of the rock, and creating a large-pore structure. Oil
well acidizing is a common process in the North Sea oil production industry.
Many chemical reactions involving hydrochloric acid are applied in the production of
food, food ingredients, and food additives. Typical products include aspartame, fructose,
citric acid, lysine, hydrolyzed vegetable protein as food enhancer, and in gelatin
production. Food-grade (extra-pure) hydrochloric acid can be applied when needed for
the final product.
Hydrochloric acid is a strong inorganic acid that is used in many industrial processes. The
application often determines the required product quality.
Pickling of steel
One of the most important applications of hydrochloric acid is in the pickling of steel, to
remove rust or iron oxide scale from iron or steel before subsequent processing, such as
extrusion, rolling, galvanizing, and other techniques. Technical quality HCl at typically
18% concentration is the most commonly used pickling agent for the pickling of carbon
steel grades.
Fe2O3 + Fe + 6 HCl → 3 FeCl2 + 3 H2O
The spent acid has long been re-used as iron(II) chloride (also known as ferrous chloride)
solutions, but high heavy-metal levels in the pickling liquor have decreased this practice.

13. The steel pickling industry has developed hydrochloric acid regeneration processes, such
as the spray roaster or the fluidized bed HCl regeneration process, which allow the
recovery of HCl from spent pickling liquor. The most common regeneration process is
the pyrohydrolysis process, applying the following formula:
4 FeCl2 + 4 H2O + O2 → 8 HCl+ 2 Fe2O3
By recuperation of the spent acid, a closed acid loop is established. The iron(III) oxide
by-product of the regeneration process is valuable, used in a variety of secondary
industries.
Production of organic compounds
Another major use of hydrochloric acid is in the production of organic compounds, such
as vinyl chloride and dichloroethane for PVC. This is often captive use, consuming
locally produced hydrochloric acid that never actually reaches the open market. Other
organic compounds produced with hydrochloric acid include bisphenol A for
polycarbonate, activated carbon, and ascorbic acid, as well as numerous pharmaceutical
products.
2 CH2=CH2 + 4 HCl + O2 → 2 ClCH2CH2Cl + 2 H2O (dichloroethane by
oxychlorination)
wood + HCl + heat → activated carbon (chemical activation)
Production of inorganic compounds
Numerous products can be produced with hydrochloric acid in normal acid-base
reactions, resulting in inorganic compounds. These include water treatment chemicals
such as iron(III) chloride and polyaluminium chloride (PAC).
Fe2O3 + 6 HCl → 2 FeCl3 + 3 H2O (iron(III) chloride from magnetite)
Both iron(III) chloride and PAC are used as flocculation and coagulation agents in
sewage treatment, drinking water production, and paper production.
Other inorganic compounds produced with hydrochloric acid include road application salt
calcium chloride, nickel(II) chloride for electroplating, and zinc chloride for the
galvanizing industry and battery production.

14. CaCO3 + 2 HCl → CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O (calcium chloride from limestone)
pH Control and neutralization
Hydrochloric acid can be used to regulate the basicity (pH) of solutions.
OH− + HCl → H2O + Cl−
In industry demanding purity (food, pharmaceutical, drinking water), high-quality
hydrochloric acid is used to control the pH of process water streams. In less-demanding
industry, technical quality hydrochloric acid suffices for neutralizing waste streams and
swimming pool treatment.
Regeneration of ion exchangers
High-quality hydrochloric acid is used in the regeneration of ion exchange resins. Cation
exchange is widely used to remove ions such as Na+ and Ca2+ from aqueous solutions,
producing demineralized water. The acid is used to rinse the cations from the resins.
Na+ is replaced by H+
Ca2+ is replaced by 2 H+
Ion exchangers and demineralized water are used in all chemical industries, drinking
water production, and many food industries.
Magnesium sulphate
Magnesium sulfate is used as a fertilizer and added to magnesium deficient soil to make it fertile.
Magnesium is important for the soil, as it is a key element of chlorophyll and plays a vital role in
photosynthesis. It has high solubility in water and can be easily absorbed by the soil. It is added mainly to
crops like tomatoes, potatoes and roses, which need a lot of magnesium for their growth.
Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is used for industrial purposes. It acts as a dehydrating agent during the
process of syntheses of organic substances. It is mainly used because of its affinity for water. It acts as a
coagulating agent in soy milk. So it is widely used for the preparation of nutritious tofu.
In agriculture and gardening, magnesium sulfate is used to correct magnesium deficiency
in soil, since magnesium is an essential element in the chlorophyll molecule. It is most
commonly applied to potted plants, or to magnesium-hungry crops, such as potatoes,

15. roses, tomatoes, peppers and cannabis. The advantage of magnesium sulfate over other
magnesium soil amendments (such as dolomitic lime) is its high solubility.
Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is commonly used as a desiccant in organic synthesis due
to its affinity for water. During work-up, an organic phase is saturated with magnesium
sulfate until it no longer forms clumps. The hydrated solid is then removed with filtration
or decantation. Other inorganic sulfate salts such as sodium sulfate and calcium sulfate
may also be used in the same way.
Magnesium sulfate is used in bath salts, particularly in flotation therapy where high
concentrations raise the bath water's specific gravity, effectively making the body more
buoyant. This property is also used to restore some Lava lamps damaged by being shaken
by exchanging the water and adding drops of a concentrated solution until sustainable
buoyancy is reached. Traditionally, it is also used to prepare foot baths, intended to
soothe sore feet. The reason for the inclusion of the salt is partially cosmetic: the increase
in ionic strength prevents some of the temporary skin wrinkling ("pruning" – partial
maceration) which is caused by prolonged immersion of extremities in pure water.
However, magnesium sulfate can also be absorbed into the skin, reducing inflammation.
It is also sometimes found in bottled mineral water, and accordingly is sometimes listed
in the contents thereof. It may also be used as a coagulant for making tofu.
Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is also used to maintain the magnesium concentration in
marine aquaria which contain large amounts of stony corals as it is slowly depleted in
their calcification process. In a magnesium-deficient marine aquarium calcium and
alkalinity concentrations are very difficult to control because not enough magnesium is
present to stabilize these ions in the saltwater and prevent their spontaneous precipitation
into calcium carbonate.
Magnesium sulfate is used as the electrolyte to prepare copper sulfate. A magnesium
sulfate solution is electrolyzed with a copper anode to form copper sulfate, magnesium
hydroxide, and hydrogen:
Cu + MgSO4 + 2 H2O → H2 + CuSO4 + Mg(OH)2

16. CHINA CLAY ( KAOLIN )
Kaolin is used in ceramics, medicine, coated paper, as a food additive, in toothpaste, as a light
diffusing material in white incandescent light bulbs, and in cosmetics. It is generally the main
component in porcelain.
It is also used in paint to extend titanium dioxide (TiO2) and modify gloss levels; in rubber for
semi-reinforcing properties; and in adhesives to modify rheology.
Kaolin was long used in the production of common smoking pipes in Europe and Asia.
The largest use is in the production of paper, including ensuring the gloss on some grades of
paper. Commercial grades of kaolin are supplied and transported as dry powder, semi-dry noodle
or as liquid slurry.
Kaolinite can contain very small traces of uranium and thorium, and is therefore useful in
radiological dating. While a single magazine made using kaolin does not contain enough
radioactive material to be detected by a security-oriented monitor, this does result in truckloads
of high end glossy paper occasionally tripping an overly-sensitive radiation monitor.
Kaolinite has also seen some use in organic farming, as a spray applied to crops to deter insect
damage, and in the case of apples, to prevent sun scald.
In April 2008, the US Naval Medical Research Institute announced the successful use of a
Kaolinite-derived aluminosilicate nanoparticle infusion in traditional gauze, known
commercially as QuikClot Combat Gauze.
When heated to between 650 and 900 °C kaolinite dehydroxylates to form metakaolin.
According to the American National Precast Concrete Association this is a supplementary
cementitious material (SCM). When added to a concrete mix, metakaolin affects the acceleration
of Portland cement hydration when replacing Portland cement by 20 percent by weight.
In ceramics applications, the formula is typically written in terms of oxides, thus the formula for
kaolinite is Al2O3·2SiO2·2H2O

17. This can be even written in a more compact way as AS2H2 using the cement chemist notation
(CCN) to represent the hereabove mentionned oxides respectively (A = Al2O3, S = SiO2, H =
H2O).
This format is also useful for describing the firing process of clay as the kaolinite loses the 2
water molecules, termed the chemical water, when fired to a high enough temperature. This is
different from clay's physical water which will be lost simply due to evaporation and is not a part
of the chemical formula.
Kaolin. (unknown scale)
A folk medicine use is to soothe an upset stomach, similar to the way parrots (and later, humans)
in South America originally used it.
Kaolin is, or has been, used as the active substance in liquid anti-diarrhea medicines such as
Kaomagma and Kaopectate. Such medicines were changed away from aluminium substances due
to a scare over Alzheimer's disease[citation needed], but have since changed back to compounds
containing aluminium as they are more effective.
Kaolin is known in traditional Chinese medicine by the name chìshízhī (赤石脂),[citation needed]
literally "crimson stone resin".
In Africa, kaolin is sometimes known as kalaba (in Gabon and Cameroon), calaba, and
calabachop (in Equatorial Guinea). It is used for facial masks or soap and is eaten for pleasure
or to suppress hunger, a practice known as geophagy. Consumption is greater among women,
especially during pregnancy.
This practice is also seen among African-American women in the Southern United States,
especially Georgia. There, the kaolin is called white dirt, chalk or white clay.
FERRIC SULPHATE - Liquid
It is used in dyeing as a mordant, and as a coagulant for industrial wastes. It is also used in
pigments, and in pickling baths for aluminum and steel. Medically it is used as an astringent and
styptic.

18. Some of the additional benefits for the use of ferric sulphate are:
* Precipitation of sulphur compounds.
* Increased efficiency in SS and BOD5 elimination.
* Reduction in energy consumption in the biological process.
* Lower corrosion and longer lifetime for the mechanical equipment in the plant compared to the
use of ferric chloride.
* Less maintenance work and expense at the plant.
BARYTES ( FOR OIL DRILLING )
Oil industry (84%)
Chemical - electronics, TV screen, glass, ceramics and medical applications (barium meals) (7%)
Fillers - car, rubber and paint industry, radiation shielding (9%)
Some 77% worldwide is used as a weighting agent for drilling fluids in oil and gas exploration.
Other uses are in added-value applications which include the car, electronics, TV screen, rubber,
and glass ceramics and paint industry, radiation shielding and medical applications (for example,
a barium meal before a contrast CAT scan). Baryte is supplied in a variety of forms and the price
depends on the amount of processing; filler applications commanding higher prices following
intense physical processing by grinding and micronising, and there are further premiums for
whiteness and brightness and color. Baryte is used in the manufacture of paints and paper.
Historically baryte was used for the production of barium hydroxide for sugar refining, and as a
white pigment for textiles, paper, and paint.
FREE FLOW SALT ( SODIUM CHLORIDE )
Apart from edible purpose, It would be difficult to list all of the thousands of industries that use salt
as a raw material or ingredient. The major industries include:
Textile and dyeing. Salt is used to fix dyes and to standardize dye batches
Metal processing, such as aluminum refining. Salt is used to remove impurities

19. Rubber manufacturing. Salt separates the rubber from latex
Oil and gas drilling. Salt is used to produce a drilling mud that prevents widening of bore holes in
rock salt strata, inhibits fermentation, and increases mud density
Pharmaceuticals. Salt is used for tablet and caplet polishing, the production of intraveneous saline
solutions and for manufacturing hemodialysis solutions used for kidney machines
Animal hide processing and leather tanning. Salt is used to cure, preserve, and tan hides
Pigment manufacture. Salt is a grinding agent

Same application which is mentioned for free flow salt
SOAP STONE POWDER
The soap stone powder is widely being used as basic material in Cosmetic and Paper industry
Application of Talc ( Soapstone powder ) in Plastic Industries
 Plastic Industry
Plastic industry consumes high quality ultra fine talc in polypropylene, polyamides, cable
PVC and other plastic compounds. Talc is being increasingly used in HDPE, PP, LDPE,
PVC, ABS & thermosetting compounds. It is excellent filler due to blending
characteristics and thermal and electrical resistant. It is chemically inert. It provides the
smooth feel to plastic surface. Due to its chemical inertness, superior electrical and
thermal resistance and other properties talc imparts stiffness, hardness, tensile strength of
plastic products, improves quality of their surfaces, gives them electrical, chemical and
thermal resistance.
 Application of Talc in Paint Industries
Talc is used in production of decorative paints, industrial coatings, pigment pastes,
primers, enamels, adhesives, putties and other products of the industry.
 Application of Soapstone powder (Talc) in Ceramics
In ceramics talc is used mostly as low cost filler in ceramic tiles, sanitary ware,
dinnerware, porcelain and electrical insulating.
 Application of Talc Powder in Pharmaceutical Industries

21. In pharmaceuticals talc is used as filler in tablets, ointments and dustings. Talc used in
this industry must be highly pure, bacteria free, must contain no iron oxide, dolomite,
carbon and other impurities.
 Paper industry
Talc is used in three stages of paper making -as a filler, to control pitch and stickiest and
in paper coating. During the paper making process, the micro impurities can clog the
paper machinery. Talc being hydrophobic absorbs these micro droplets thus controlling
their stickiness and avoiding clogging. High brightness of talc leads to reduction in usage
of expensive whitening agents and helps in controlling gloss of the coat. Talc gives
smoothness, yellow index, porosity, and opacity to paper, improves its yellow index and
reduces the deterioration of the machinery. Our grades of Talc powder are in wide range
for Paper industries.
 Other uses of talc
Besides all above uses Talc is also widely used in Toilet Soap manufacturing, Cosmetic
industries in baby talc powder, Detergent manufacturing, Dal mills (Pulses polishing),
Textile, Printing Ink, Rubber industry and as a filler raw material in many chemical
industries.
Ferrous sulfate hepta hydrate
It is used as a mordant in dyeing wool, in the manufacture of ink, in water purification as a
substitute for aluminum sulphate, as a fertilizer, and as a feed additive. It is also used to
produce magnetic ferric oxide.
. It is used as a lawn conditioner,and moss killer. See below for full details on application.
 Industrially, ferrous sulfate is mainly used as a precursor to other iron compounds.
 It is a reducing agent, mostly for the reduction of chromate in cement.
 Used in the manufacture of inks including iron gall ink.
 It is used a mordant for wool dyeing.
 Ferrous sulphate can also be used to stain concrete and some limestones and
sandstones a yellowish rust color.
 Woodworkers use ferrous sulfate solutions to color maple wood a silvery hue.
In horticulture it is used for treating iron chlorosis (yellowing of folliage caused by iron
deficiency). Although not as rapid-acting as iron chelate, its effects are longer-lasting. It
can be mixed with compost and dug into to the soil to create a store which can last for
years. Ferrous sulfate is sometimes added to the cooling water flowing through the brass
tubes of a turbine condenser. It forms a corrosion-resistant, protective coating on the
inside of the tube.
It has been applied for the purification of water by flocculation and for phosphate
removal in municipal and industrial sewage treatment plants to prevent eutrophication of

22. surface water bodies.
It is used as a traditional method of treating wood panel on houses, either alone
dissolved in water or as a component of water-based paint.
NEEM CAKE
Neem cake organic manure protects plant roots from nematodes, soil grubs and white ants
probably due to its content of the residual limonoids. It also acts as a natural fertilizer with
pesticidal properties. Neem cake is widely used in India to fertilize paddy, cotton and sugarcane.
Usage of neem cake have shown an increase in the dry matter in Tectona grandis (Teak), Acacia
nilotica (Gum Arabic), and other forest trees.
Neem seed cake also reduce alkalinity in soil, as it produces organic acids on decomposition.
Being totally natural, it is compatible with soil microbes, improves and rhizosphere microflora
and hence ensures fertility of the soil. Neem Cake improves the organic matter content of the
soil, helping improvement in soil texture, water holding capacity, soil aeration for better root
development.
Neem cake - Pest control application
Neem cake is effective in the management of insects and pests. The bitter principles of the soil
and cake have been reported to have seven types of activities (a) antifeedant (b) attractant
(c)repellent (d) insecticide (e) nematicide (f) growth disruptor and (g) antimicrobial.
The cake contains salannin, nimbin, azadirachtin and azadiradione as the major components. Of
these, azadirachtin and meliantriol are used as locust antifeedants while salannin is used as an
antifeedant for the housefly.
