Sulfuric Acid Production Cost Reports

The Sulfuric Acid production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a sulphuric acid production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of sulphuric acid. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Sulphuric acid is a popular mineral acid that is composed of sulphur, oxygen, and hydrogen. It is generated in highly exothermic processes and rapidly absorbs atmospheric water vapour. The acid's poisonous nature has bad effects on the eyes, skin, teeth, and lungs. It can be used in a variety of ways in the chemical industry, notably as an electrolyte for lead-acid batteries. Gases from iron pyrite are used to extract sulfuric acid. In this procedure, iron pyrite gas is handled, and the sulphur dioxide in the gas is changed into sulphur trioxide, which, after two contacts and two absorptions, yields sulphuric acid.

Sulphuric acid has the chemical formula H2SO4 and a molar mass of 98.079 g/mol. It has a melting point of 10 °C and a boiling point of 337 °C, respectively. It has a density of 1.83 g/cm3. It has no colour or smell and seems to be a viscous liquid. It is a very potent oxidising agent and is soluble in water. It has a specific gravity of 1.84 at 298 K.

Sulphuric acid is widely used in metallurgical and petroleum refining processes as well as in pharmaceutical, fertiliser, dye, detergent, explosive, acid, inorganic salt, and pigment industries. Due to its use in lead-acid storage batteries as an electrolyte, the market for sulfuric acid is growing globally. It is mostly used in fertilisers like ammonium sulphate and superphosphate of lime.

It is used to make chemicals like sulphate salts, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid. It is employed in the processing of metals for tasks including pickling (cleaning) iron and plating steel prior to tin or zinc treatment. In addition, it is employed in the manufacture of paper, laboratory testing, and rayon textile production. The use of acid has many applications, which help to support the world economy.
