Glacial Acetic Acid (GAA)

Glacial Acetic Acid is a trivial name for water-free acetic acid. Similar to the German name Eisessig (literally, ice-vinegar), the name comes from the ice-like crystals that form slightly below room temperature at 16.7 °C (62 °F).

Applications:

Glacial Acetic Acid can be used in the clinical laboratory to lyse red blood cells in order to do manual white blood cell counts. Another clinical use is for lysing red blood cells which can obscure other important constituents in urine during a microscopic examination.

The acidity is also used for treating the sting of the box jellyfish by disabling the stinging cells of the jellyfish, preventing serious injury or death if applied immediately, and for treating outer ear infections in people in preparations such as Vosol. Equivalently, acetic acid is used as a spray-on preservative for livestock silage, to discourage bacterial and fungal growth. Glacial acetic acid is also used as a wart and verruca remover.

Organic or inorganic salts are produced from acetic acid, including:
1. Sodium acetate, used in the textile industry and as a food preservative (E262).
2. Copper(II) acetate, used as a pigment and a fungicide.
3. Aluminium acetate and iron(II) acetate—used as mordants for dyes.
4. Palladium(II) acetate, used as a catalyst for organic coupling reactions such as the Heck reaction.
5. Silver acetate, used as a pesticide.
