Physicochemical property
Molecular weight: 126.07 g/mol | Appearance: white transparent crystal or powder, industrial products may be slightly yellow due to impurities. |
Odor: Tasteless or slightly sour. | Density: 1.65 g/cm³ (20°C). |
Melting point: The dihydrate lost its crystalline water at 101-102°C and was converted to anhydrous oxalic acid (H₂C₂O₄). Anhydrous oxalic acid sublimates at about 189.5°C and decomposes at high temperatures. | |
Solubility: Water: soluble in cold water (about 10 g/100 mL, 20°C), hot water solubility is higher. Ethanol: slightly soluble (approx. 5.7g /100 mL, 20°C) | |
Acid: Binaric acid, acidic stronger than acetic acid (pKa₁=1.25, pKa₂=4.14); It can react with bases, metal oxides, carbonates to form salts (such as sodium oxalate, calcium oxalate). | |
Reducibility: Under acidic conditions can be oxidized by strong oxidants (such as potassium permanganate) to produce CO₂ and H₂O | |
Complexation: Oxalate (C₂O₄²⁻) forms a soluble complex with metal ions (e.g. Fe³+, Al³+). It is used in metal cleaning or rust removal. | |
Thermal decomposition: Decomposition when heated above 150°C, producing CO, CO₂ and H₂O: |
Oxalic acid cleaning role
1. Metal cleaning
Rust removal: oxalic acid can react with rust (iron oxide) to produce soluble compounds,
which are often used to remove rust on metal surfaces.
Surface treatment: Used to clean stainless steel, copper, aluminum and other metals,
restore luster and remove the oxide layer.
2. Stone cleaning
Marble and granite: oxalic acid can remove stains and scale on the surface of the stone,
but it needs to be used carefully to avoid corrosion.
3. Wood cleaning
Bleaching: Oxalic acid is used to bleach wood, remove stains and discoloration, and restore the original color.
4. Textile cleaning
Stain removal: Oxalic acid can remove rust and ink stains on clothing, often used in laundry and home cleaning.
5. Industrial equipment cleaning
Boilers and pipes: Oxalic acid is used to remove scale and sediment and maintain equipment efficiency.
6. Clean your home
Bathroom and kitchen: Oxalic acid can remove scale, soap scale and mineral deposits,
and is often used to clean tiles, toilets and sinks.
Precautions for use
Protective measures: oxalic acid is corrosive, wear gloves and goggles when using,
avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Ventilation: Ventilation should be maintained during use to avoid inhaling steam.
Concentration control: Adjust the concentration according to the cleaning object to avoid excessive corrosion.
Neutralization treatment: After use, it is necessary to neutralize and properly handle the waste liquid to
prevent environmental pollution.
Sum up
Oxalic acid is widely used in cleaning, especially in the cleaning of metal, stone, wood and textiles,
but attention should be paid to safety and environmental protection when used.
