Phosphoric acid is also widely known as orthophosphoric acid. Phosphoric acid is the second highest consumed substance after sulfuric acid. There are two methods by which phosphoric acid can be commercially produced named wet process and thermal process.
The wet process in the ancient times of commercialization was in usage. The thermal process is expensive, but at the same time, it produces a purer product as compare to the product produced by the wet process.
In the wet process, the production of phosphoric acid is done by phosphate rock, and in the case of the thermal process, it requires elements such as phosphorus, air, and water for the production of phosphoric acid.
There is a wide variety of usage of phosphoric acid. It is divided according to the process through which we got our phosphoric acid, for instance, if we get our phosphoric acid from wet process the end product will be fertilizer whereas if there is usage of thermal process we will get end products such as high-grade chemicals, pharmaceuticals, detergents, food products, beverages, and non-fertilizer products.
