Silicomolybdic acid

Silicomolybdic acid (CAS 12027-12-2), also known as 12-molybdosilicic acid, is a heteropolyacid used industrially as a catalyst and analytical reagent.

Where is Silicomolybdic acid used?

• Analytical chemistry and pharmaceutical quality control: colorimetric reagent for detecting silica, phosphates, and reducing agents in solution
• Catalyst manufacturing: precursor to molybdenum-based catalysts for oxidation and acid-catalyzed reactions
• Mining and metals processing: selective precipitation and quantification of specific ions
• Water treatment laboratories employ it for silica determination in boiler water, cooling systems, and ultrapure water quality programs.

Commercial specifications

• Packaging from small laboratory quantities to bulk quantities
