Description
Sulphuric Acid (H₂SO₄) is a strong, highly corrosive mineral acid and one of the most widely used industrial chemicals. It is an essential raw material in fertilizer production, chemical manufacturing, mining, metal processing, petroleum refining, and water treatment.
Major Uses & Applications
- Fertilizer manufacturing: extensively used to produce phosphate fertilizers such as SSP and phosphoric acid.
- Mining & mineral processing: used in selected leaching and mineral-treatment processes.
- Metal processing: used for metal pickling, surface treatment, and processing.
- Chemical manufacturing: an important raw material for producing numerous chemicals and sulphates.
- Petroleum refining: used in selected refining and purification processes.
- Water & wastewater treatment: used for controlled pH adjustment and acidification.
- Lead-acid batteries: serves as the electrolyte in conventional lead-acid batteries.
- Industrial processing: widely used as a dehydrating agent and catalyst in various chemical processes.
