Industrial production methods include phosphorus trichloride hydrolysis and phosphite method.
The hydrolysis method slowly adds water dropwise to phosphorus trichloride under stirring for hydrolysis reaction to generate phosphorous acid, which is refined Chemicalbook, cooled and crystallized, and decolorized to obtain finished phosphorous acid.
Its PCI3+3H2O→H3PO3+3HCl production process produces hydrogen chloride for recycling, which can be made into hydrochloric acid.
1. It is slowly oxidized into orthophosphoric acid in the air and decomposed into orthophosphoric acid and phosphine (highly toxic) when heated to 180℃. Phosphorous acid is a dibasic acid, its acidity is slightly stronger than phosphoric acid, and it has strong reducibility, which can easily reduce Ag ions to metallic silver and sulfuric acid to sulfur dioxide. Strong hygroscopicity and deliquescence, corrosive. Can cause burns. Irritating to the skin. Placed in the air, it deliquesces and is easily soluble in water. When the temperature is higher than 160℃, H3PO4 and PH3 are generated.
2.Stability: stable
3. Forbidden mixture: strong alkali
4. Avoid contact conditions: hot, humid air
5. Aggregation hazard: no aggregation
6. Decomposition product: phosphorus oxide
1.It is a raw material for the manufacture of plastic stabilizers, and is also used in the manufacture of synthetic fibers and phosphite.
2.It can be used as an intermediate of glyphosate and ethephon, and can also be used to produce high-efficiency water treatment agent.
1.Properties: white or light yellow crystal, with garlic flavor and easy deliquescence.

3.Boiling point (℃): 200 (decomposition)
4.Relative density (water = 1): 1.65
5.Octanol/water partition coefficient: 1.15
6. Solubility: Soluble in water and ethanol.
