CEH: Nitric Acid

May 2020. World nitric acid consumption has increased steadily since 2000. Nitric acid is one of the world's largest commodity chemicals. It is used predominantly as an intermediate for fertilizer production (primarily ammonium and calcium ammonium nitrate) and for the production of nitro-containing organic intermediates. In 2020, nearly 80% of nitric acid was used for fertilizer products, with the remainder used in industrial applications. The largest chemical end uses for nitric acid include nitrobenzene, adipic acid, toluene diisocyanate (TDI), and nitrochlorobenzenes. Other important end uses include the production of explosives, metal treatment, and uranium processing.
