He mea hoʻomaka koʻikoʻi ka waikawa Nitric no ka hana ʻana i nā mea kanu a me nā kemika. Hoʻohana ʻia ka waikawa nitric diluted no ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana a me ke kalai ʻana i nā metala Pepa ʻIkepili Huahana
ʻO kēia wai kaumaha, akaka, a melemele iki paha, he mea ʻawaʻawa loa ia a ke kumu i ke kuni nui i ka pili ʻana me ka ʻili. Ua hana ʻia e ka distillation o kahi nitrate alkali-metal i hui pū ʻia me ka waikawa sulfuric. Ua hoʻohana ʻia ka hui ʻana o nā waikawa nitric a me ka sulfuric e hoʻololi i ka pulupulu maʻemaʻe i cellulose nitrate. Ua hoʻohana ʻia ka waikawa Nitric i loko o ke kaʻina hana pāpū ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻohui i nā mea hoʻomohala ferrous sulfate e hāpai i ke kala kiʻi keʻokeʻo no nā ambrotypes a me nā ferrotypes. Ua hoʻohui pū ʻia e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ka pH o ka ʻauʻau kālā no nā pā collodion. ʻO ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka ʻakika i ka ʻauʻau kālā i emi ai ka maʻalahi o nā papa collodion i ka mālamalama, kahi i loaʻa ka hopena maikaʻi o ka hōʻemi ʻana i ke ʻano o ka noe kiʻi ʻole.
