Peter may know but I sure don't.  Oxalic acid is one of the simplest chemicals out there - H2C2O4.  I am not aware of any isomers or of any other chemicals sharing that common name.  The only differences I know of are in purity and concentration.  What "types" of oxalic acid are there?
 
By the way, a google search on "oxalic acid cost" returned hundreds of sites with prices as low as US$200 per metric ton.  In retail quantities, I found anywhere from $4 to $14 per pound.  What am I missing?
