Concentrated sulfuric acid 92-98.6% – is one of the strongest inorganic acids and one of the strongest acids, including organic compounds. Sulfuric acid is a popular raw material in the chemical industry. It is often used as a catalyst. Due to its strong hygroscopic properties, it is often used to dry and dehydrate other reactants or final substances. Invaluable for pH regulation during chemical syntheses.
In addition, it is used in processes such as the production of fertilizers, mining processes for the processing of minerals and ores, for the treatment, cleaning and pickling of metal surfaces, in the galvanic industry as a component of galvanic baths and as a sensitizing agent. In gas cleaning processes (e.g. off-gas cleaning), rinsing, drying and absorption. Widely used as an electrolyte in car batteries. In the production of dyes, in particular titanium white. Due to its properties, it is used in many organic synthesis reactions, e.g. nitration and sulfonation reactions.
In chemical synthesis processes, this raw material is used in the production of: phosphoric acid, chlorine gas, paper, flocculants, bentonite, silica, lead concentrate, lead glass, resins, hydrogen cyanide, nitrobenzene, for wastewater treatment and neutralization.
Sulfuric acid is widely and on a large scale used in the following industries:
- chemical industry (production of plastics and other inorganic acids),
- petrochemical industry (petroleum, paraffin purification),
- dyeing industry (e.g. production of titanium white),
- mining and metallurgical industry (for the extraction and processing of minerals, ores),
- textile industry (production of synthetic fibers).
Sulfuric acid is a dangerous substance and special care should be taken when using it. Please refer to the SDS safety guidelines before working with this material.
