Hydrochloric Acid

Hydrochloric acid is a water solution of hydrogen chloride, HCl, are irritating, pungent gas that is extremely water soluble; water solution is generally written with the same formula as the gas. In nature the acid is found in the discharge from volcanoes and, in a concentration of about 0.25% in the gastric juice secreted by the human stomach. It can be made in the laboratory by the action of concentrated sulfuric acid on sodium chloride or by the burning of chlorine in an atmosphere of hydrogen. In either case the hydrogen chloride produced must be dissolved in water to produce the acid solution. Nearly 90% of all commercially produced hydrochloric acid is a by product of the chlorination of organic compounds, such as:

CH4  +  Cl2   ➠ CH3CL   + HCl

About 5% is produced by the combustion of chlorine in hydrogen; a similar quantity is produced by the reaction of concentrated sulfuric acid on sodium chloride.

Hydrochloric acid is principally used in the pickling (cleaning) of steel and the acidifying of oil wells. It is also used in ore extraction, the recovery of light metals from seawater, the production of dextrose, and the reactivation of spent activated charcoal.

Hydrochloric Acid is dangerous acid, this acid is very reactive and dangerous chemicals, if react with other substance of other thing can release hot and can make fire. In the area which is kept this chemicals should be installed APAR (fire extinguisher), and must any warning symbol put on that area.

Warning symbol already state internationally and must use that kind of symbol, you are not allowed make your own symbol. You can make other than symbol, just write something that show the dangerous on that place.

For example of wrong chemicals hazard symbol:

wrong symbol 1

wrong symbol 1


The right symbol for poisonous and reactive chemicals should be as below:

poisonous chemical symbolmbol
poisonous chemical symbol
reactive chemical symbol
reactive chemical symbol

For just Warning if any dangerous chemicals there is allowed. For example as follows:

danger warning
Warning of Danger

The dimension of symbol you can put on the area must follow the regulation, and you must see your local regulation about this symbol. For my local government use this chemicals hazard symbol.

Removing Iron Rust Using Electrochemical Process

One way to remove iron rust is by electrochemical process. The iron or metal that will be rusted is given a negative charge and the other electrode means that it is positively charged, so the rust will be released from the metal because negative ions will come out of the metal and go to the positive electrode. If the process is continued, the iron may become shiny, not because it is coated in therapy because the surface is partly faded. This is because the iron functions as a negative electrode, where the ions on the surface of the iron will decay and dissolve into the chemical solution. To give an idea of this process, see the following video:

Viscose Fiber Production Process

Viscose fiber is a base material for textile industry. The first production of this kind product is in Indian than spread over the Europe and United States also in South Asia Country like in Indonesia. Viscose fiber is produced to anticipate the shortage of natural yarn for raw material to produce yarn in textile industries, beside synthetic yarn as replace natural cotton to produce fabric. This one is a simple drawing of viscose fiber production process . Viscose fiber is used to substitute the using of cotton as raw material for textile industry. Beside of cotton availability will not enough to supply market demand in the future, also cotton just available on harvesting season. If people just depend on cotton to produce textile then people will shortage of raw material to produce textile. Using viscose fiber to fulfill of textile industry will not any shortage raw material, beside the price is lower than cotton, viscose fiber also have better quality compare with synthetic fiber fo
