Application

Industrial: Used in fertilizer production (e.g., reacting with ammonia to produce ammonium chloride for agricultural use), soil pH adjustment for crops, steel pickling (removing rust/oxides), chemical synthesis (e.g., PVC, pharmaceuticals), petroleum well acidizing, food processing (e.g., pH adjustment in gelatine production), and wastewater treatment (neutralization).

Production

Produced by absorbing hydrogen chloride gas in water, achieving concentrations of 30-33 % or 36 %. Indorama Kokand Fertilizers in Uzbekistan produces hydrochloric acid at its modernized facility (capacity: 24,000 tons/year) for both in-house fertilizer production (e.g., ammonium chloride) and as standalone products under the Oltin brand.
