colorless crystals. The relative density of 1.651(21.2 deg C). Melting Point 73,6. Boiling point 200 degrees C (decomposition). Soluble in water and alcohol. In the air slowly oxidized to orthophosphoric acid, heated to 180 deg C when the decomposition of orthophosphoric acid and phosphine (highly toxic). Phosphorous acid is a dibasic acid, and its acidity is slightly stronger than that of phosphoric acid. It has strong reducibility, easily reduces Ag ions to metal silver, and can reduce sulfuric acid to sulfur dioxide. Strong hygroscopicity and deliquescence, corrosive.
The industrial production methods include the hydrolysis of phosphorus trichloride and The phosphite method.
Hydrolysis method: phosphorus trichloride is slowly added with water under stirring for hydrolysis reaction to generate phosphorous acid, which is refined, cooled, crystallized and decolorized to obtain phosphorous acid product. The hydrogen chloride produced in the production process is recycled and can be made into hydrochloric acid.
is the raw material for the manufacture of phosphite, and is also the raw material for the manufacture of plastic stabilizers (such as: dibasic lead phosphite) and organophosphorus pesticides. Used as a stabilizer for polycarbonate. Also used as an antioxidant for nylon 1010.

Use | used as a reducing agent, nylon whitening agent, also used as phosphite raw materials, pesticide intermediates is the raw material for the manufacture of phosphite, it is also a raw material for the manufacture of plastic stabilizers (such as: dibasic lead phosphite) and organophosphorus pesticides. Used as a stabilizer for polycarbonate. Also used as an antioxidant for nylon 1010. used as chemical reagent Water Treatment determination of mercury, gold, silver and lead, reducing agent, determination of iodic acid, copper and cadmium. Industrial phosphorous acid is a raw material for the manufacture of stabilizers for plastics. It is also used in the manufacture of synthetic fibers and phosphites. |
production method | industrial production methods include phosphorus trichloride hydrolysis method and phosphite method. Phosphorus trichloride is hydrolyzed by slowly adding water Dropwise with stirring to produce phosphorous acid, which is refined, cooled, crystallized and decolorized to obtain phosphorous acid product. The hydrogen chloride produced in the production process of PCI3 3H2O → H3PO3 3HCl is recycled and can be made into hydrochloric acid. |
