Hydrochloric acid analysis
Your needs: carry out hydrochloric acid analysis in accordance with current standards
What is hydrochloric acid?
Hydrochloric acid (HCl), CAS No. 7647-01-0, is an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride gas. It is a strong and corrosive acid, widely used in many industrial sectors: chemistry, metallurgy, surface treatment, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, nuclear power, energy, and even medical devices.
Its concentration, purity, and the possible presence of impurities (metallic, organic, or mineral) can have a direct impact on your production processes, the quality of your finished products, and the regulatory compliance of your activities.

Why analyze hydrochloric acid in the laboratory?
Laboratory analysis of hydrochloric acid can be useful for various reasons, such as:
- Determining the concentration of hydrochloric acid in a sample
- Evaluating the quality and purity of hydrochloric acid used in cosmetic and other products
- Understanding the physical properties of hydrochloric acid and its interaction with other chemicals
- Identifying structural variations or modifications of hydrochloric acid that may have functional implications
In short, analyzing hydrochloric acid can provide a better understanding of its behavior in various systems, ensure its compliance with specifications, and optimize its use in industrial, chemical, and environmental applications.
FAQ
HCl analysis allows you to check its concentration, detect any impurities, and ensure its compliance with standards and specifications. This avoids the risks of poor quality, corrosion, or contamination in your industrial processes.
Depending on your needs, it is possible to measure the concentration of HCl, metallic traces (Fe, Al, Pb, etc.), organic impurities, anions (sulfates, nitrates, phosphates, etc.) as well as the overall purity of the product.
Several methods can be used: titrimetry for dosage, ICP-AES or ICP-MS for metals, FTIR and GC-MS for organic impurities, or even elemental analysis (CHONS).
Hydrochloric acid is commonly used in chemistry, metallurgy, surface treatment, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, energy, nuclear power, automotive and aeronautics.
Yes, in certain cases. For example, to meet standards (pharmaceutical, REACH, ISO, etc.), your customers' requirements, or to guarantee the safety of your processes and products.
