Description
General description
Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is useful in industry for treating the metal surfaces to obtain better adhesion of paint and resin coatings.[6]
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.[1] 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.[3]
• As external standard during the acid-labile phosphorylation of histone H4 by 31P NMR spectroscopy.[2]
• As reference standard to investigate the surface species present on silica/alumina-supported sodium phosphates by pre- and postreaction MAS31P-NMR and FTIR spectroscopies.[4]
• As catalyst in the vapor-phase Fries rearrangement of phenylacetate at 623K over a series of surface modified and unmodified ZSM-5.[5]
Packaging
