Nitric Acid (HNO3) remains a cornerstone of the modern chemical industry. With a global market size exceeding billions of dollars, its demand is driven by the rapid expansion of the agricultural, automotive, and aerospace sectors. As a primary precursor for ammonium nitrate, it fuels the food security of billions.
Modern manufacturing requires varying concentrations. From dilute nitric acid (50-68%) used in fertilizer production to concentrated nitric acid (98%+) essential for high-performance explosives and semiconductor etching, the industry is shifting towards ultra-high purity grades to meet high-tech demands.
The rise of the EV battery industry has created a new surge in HNO3 demand for the purification of lithium and other rare-earth metals. Manufacturers are now integrating AI-driven monitoring to ensure molecular consistency, a standard we proudly uphold in our Chinese production facilities.
Founded in 1974, Henan Yongchang Nitro Fertilizer has evolved over half a century from a debt-laden startup into a modern chemical industry leader with an annual production capacity exceeding one million metric tons.
The global Nitric Acid industry is undergoing a "Green Revolution." As a responsible Nitric Acid HNO3 manufacturer, we recognize the importance of decarbonization. Traditional Ostwald processes are being optimized with secondary and tertiary N2O abatement technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. At Henan Yongchang, our dual-pressure nitric acid process not only maximizes yield but significantly lowers the energy footprint per ton of acid produced.
Industry trends indicate a move toward Green Ammonia as a feedstock. By sourcing nitrogen from renewable energy-driven electrolysis, the entire supply chain of nitric acid becomes carbon-neutral. We are currently investing in a "Digital Factory" project, slated for 2025 completion, which will integrate real-time carbon tracking and AI-optimized heat recovery systems, positioning us as a leader in sustainable chemical manufacturing in China.
Furthermore, localized application scenarios are becoming more specialized. In Europe and North America, strict environmental regulations drive the demand for extremely high-purity HNO3 for waste-water treatment and metal pickling without heavy metal contaminants. In the Asia-Pacific region, the booming semiconductor industry requires "Electronic Grade" nitric acid for high-precision wafer cleaning. Our factory is equipped to customize purity levels to meet these diverse regional requirements.
Powered by our National-Level R&D Center, we lead through three innovation pillars:
● Proprietary Dual-Pressure Process reduces energy consumption.
● Maintaining a Top 3 global production scale with extreme stability.
● Pioneered nitrogen-phosphorus delayed-release technology.
● Boosting crop absorption by up to 35% compared to standard formulas.
● 100+ customized formulas.
● Full-cycle services from soil testing to precision fertilization protocols.
Procuring nitric acid on a global scale involves complex logistics and stringent safety standards. As a primary Chinese Nitric Acid factory, we offer distinct advantages that solve procurement headaches:
We don't just sell chemicals; we deliver certified reliability. Our laboratory conducts batch-testing on 24 parameters for every shipment.


In high-intensity farming regions, Nitric Acid is the backbone of "Nitro-Fertilization." We provide customized UAN solutions and calcium nitrate that prevent soil acidification while maximizing yield. Our products are designed to withstand tropical storage conditions without caking.
For advanced manufacturing, we provide high-purity fuming nitric acid. Our Red Fuming and White Fuming variants are used in rocket propellants and as powerful oxidizers in organic synthesis, backed by comprehensive SDS and safety documentation for international compliance.
Ammonium nitrate explosives are critical for the mining industry. Our HNO3 serves as the primary raw material for industrial explosives, providing the stability and reactivity needed for large-scale mining operations and civil engineering projects.
From stainless steel pickling to precious metal refining, the oxidizing power of our nitric acid is unmatched. We offer various concentrations to ensure the perfect balance between etching speed and surface finish quality.
Embracing the "Dual-Circulation" development paradigm, we are investing substantially in a digital factory (operational by 2025) and developing green nitric acid production targeting a 30% carbon reduction.
With Chinese ingenuity at its core, Henan Yongchang is writing an Eastern legend on the global chemical map. We transcend borders with world-class quality and bridge continents through innovative solutions.
