What are the applications of oxalic acid in industry?

Oxalic acid manufacturers supply industrial grade 99.6% oxalic acid with standard content and sufficient inventory. Oxalic acid (oxalic acid) has many uses in industry, mainly based on its strong acidity, reducing and chelating properties. The following are its main application areas and specific uses:
1. Metal Surface Treatment
Rust Removal and Cleaning: Oxalic acid reacts with metal oxides (such as rust) to form soluble oxalates, which are used for rust removal and polishing of metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, and copper.
2. Textile and Leather Industry
Bleach: Its reducing properties allow it to remove pigments from textiles and improve whiteness.
3. Tanning Agent: Adjusts the pH of leather processing fluids to enhance softness and durability.

4.oxalic acid Chemical Synthesis and Catalysis
Organic Synthesis Raw Materials: Used in the production of oxalate esters, oxalates (such as sodium oxalate), oxalamides, and other derivatives for applications in plastics and resins.
5. Catalyst Preparation: Cobalt-molybdenum-aluminum catalysts, for example, are used in petroleum processing.
6. Building Materials and Stone Processing
Stone Cleaning: Removes rust and scale from marble and granite surfaces.
Cement Additive: Adjusts the setting time of concrete.
7. Environmental Protection and Wastewater Treatment
Heavy Metal Removal: Forms stable complexes with heavy metal ions such as lead and mercury, reducing wastewater toxicity
8. Electronics Industry: Cleans contaminants from silicon wafer surfaces or serves as an etchant
