BATTERY GRADE (99.5% PURE) SULPHURIC ACID PLANT
[CODE NO.3059]
Sulfuric acid molecular formula written as H2SO4, with other names includes oil of vitriol, battery acid, and king of chemicals. Sulfuric acid composed of hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur and available forms include dilute sulfuric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid.
Sulfuric acid is formed naturally by the oxidation of sulfide minerals, such as iron sulfide. On earth, sulfuric acid does not exist in a natural form. But on the planet Venus, there are lakes of the sulfuric acid exist. The sulfuric acid from lakes will evaporate to form clouds, leading to sulfuric acid rain on the Venerean surface.
Sulfuric acid is the largest volume industrial chemical produced in the world i.e., 200 million tons per year. 93-98 per cent (concentrated) sulfuric acid is used in the manufacture of fertilizers, explosives, dyes, petroleum products, domestic acidic drain cleaner, lead-acid batteries, mineral processing, fertilizer manufacturing, oil refining, wastewater processing, and chemical synthesis.
International commerce of sulfuric acid, lists sulfuric acid under Table II of the convention as a chemical frequently used in the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances.
In laboratories or industries if you spill a drop of sulfuric acid on your hand, it will burn tissue instantly. It also causes skin dehydration. Other severe effects of sulphuric acid are fumes cause blindness, and damage the lungs if inhaled. Even dilute sulfuric acid is dangerous.
Sulphuric acid forms the basis of so many of the most important heavy chemical sued by the industriers that it may well be regarded as the foundation on which the main structure of the heavy chemical industries. It is hard to find any branch of economy in which either sulphuric acid or products made from it are not used. It is universally acknowledged that the extent of manufactures of H2SO4 is a sure index of the state of the industrial life of a country. It would be rather appropriate to say that country's economy depends upon the consumption of the sulphuric acid.
There is hardly any important industry which is not directly or indirectly dependent to some extent on sulphuric acid, one of its derivatives or it salts. The versatile use of sulphuric acid has cripped in to almost all industrial fields and have gained enough popularity after second world war. The amount consumption and production of sulphuric acid in the country is proportional to the economic growth of the country. This industry takes the target there of industrial market. It is obvious that although fertilizer and chemical take up the targets proportion of the acid produced and reset to this stands Rayon and steel industry.
The sulphuric acid is the only acid which has thousands of uses in form of acid, salts and derivatives interestingly enough the uses of sulphuric acid starts with english alphabets 'a' and ends at 'z' . The 'A' alphabet indicates the use as an acid, 'B' indicates use is in battery, 'C' in chemical industry 'D' drugs , 'E' as explosives, 'F' forfeiting, 'G' galvanizing ,'H' as herbicides, I as insecticides, J as joint cleaning , and so on (I as leather industry, M as metallurgical industry O as Oil refining etc.,)
The conception of sulphuric acid is lacking behind in cooperation to western world. Inspite of versatile use and application the exact demand of sulphuric acid is not properly surfaced. If the country has to raise the economic condition then this industry should be manifold.
