It is not recommended to store concentrated nitric acid in an aluminum vessel as nitric acid can react with aluminum, forming aluminum nitrate and liberating hydrogen gas, which can be hazardous. It is best to store nitric acid in containers made of compatible materials, such as glass or certain types of plastics.
