Inorganic Chemicals: The Invisible Pillar of Industry
What Are Inorganic Chemicals?
Inorganic chemicals typically lack carbon-hydrogen bonds and include acids, bases, salts, and metal oxides. They are widely used in metallurgy, electronics, and environmental protection.
Key Examples & Uses
- Sulfuric Acid (H₂SO₄): Used in fertilizer production and battery manufacturing.
- Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH): Used in papermaking and wastewater treatment.
- Silicates (e.g., glass, cement): Core materials in construction.
Industry Outlook
High-purity inorganic chemicals (e.g., semiconductor-grade silicon) are in growing demand, driven by the new energy sector (e.g., lithium battery materials).
