• Colorless when pure, older samples tend to acquire a yellow cast due to the accumulation of oxides of nitrogen. If the solution contains more than 86% nitric acid, it is referred to as fuming nitric acid. Fuming nitric acid is characterized as white fuming nitric acid and red fuming nitric acid, depending on the amount of nitrogen dioxide present

Nitric Acid can be used as an oxidizing agent in the production of some solid fuels for rocket propulsion; component of rocket fuel acting as an oxidizer As an ageing agent in woodworking where it can be used in very dilute forms (typically below 10%) to change the appearance of some woods and to produce a color similar to that of oiled or waxed surfaces old. It can be also used in the food processing and dairy sectors to remove calcium and magnesium deposited during the manufacturing or conversion processes or which may result from continued exposure to hard-water.
