General description

Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is useful in industry for treating the metal surfaces to obtain better adhesion of paint and resin coatings.

Application

Phosphoric acid may be employed as standard for the determination of phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance (31P NMR) chemical shifts of the common phospholipids. It may be employed in the following studies:
  • As external standard for the analysis of lipid composition of human white matter by 31P NMR spectroscopy.
  • As external standard during the acid-labile phosphorylation of histone H4 by 31P NMR spectroscopy.
  • As reference standard to investigate the surface species present on silica/alumina-supported sodium phosphates by pre- and postreaction MAS31P-NMR and FTIR spectroscopies.
  • As catalyst in the vapor-phase Fries rearrangement of phenylacetate at 623K over a series of surface modified and unmodified ZSM-5.

Other Notes

Concentrated phosphoric acid is approx. 85% H3PO4 (aqueous).
