Contact SupplierHydrochloric acid (HCl) drum is a container used to store and transport hydrochloric acid, a strong and highly corrosive acid commonly used in industrial and laboratory applications. The drum is designed to safely handle the acid 's aggressive properties. Key Characteristics: Chemical Composition: Hydrochloric acid is a solution of hydrogen chloride gas (HCl) dissolved in water. Concentration: Typically available in concentrations ranging from 15% to 37% HCl by weight, with industrial grades often being around 32% to 37%. Appearance: Clear, colorless to slightly yellow liquid. pH: Very low, typically around 1 to 2, indicating strong acidity. Density: Approximately 1.16 to 1.18 g/cm³, depending on concentration. Uses: Industrial Applications: Used in metal cleaning, ore processing, and production of chemicals such as fertilizers and chlorides. Laboratory: Employed in various chemical reactions and analysis. pH Adjustment: Used to adjust the pH in different processes, including water treatment and manufacturing. Safety: Handling: Hydrochloric acid is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Use personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, goggles, and acid-resistant clothing. Ensure proper ventilation when handling. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible substances such as bases or oxidizers. The drum should be made of materials resistant to hydrochloric acid, such as plastic or lined metal.
