Example of using our Nitrates

General information

Both the salts and the esters of nitric acid are referred to as nitrates. With the exception of bismuth oxide nitrate, nitrates are readily soluble in water and play an important role as nutrients and oxygen donors for plants.

Important nitrates are sodium, potassium, calcium and ammonium nitrate.

Nitrates have a wide range of uses. Sodium nitrate (E 251) and potassium nitrate (E 252) are used as food additives as preservatives, e.g. for curing meat and sausage products, as they inhibit the growth of anaerobic germs through the formation of nitrite.

Nitrates are also important components of fertilizers. Calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate in particular are used here to mineralize the soil with nitrate.

In addition, nitrates are used in pyrotechnics to create colored light effects. Examples include barium nitrate for creating green light effects and strontium nitrate for red light effects.
