Industrial Applications

Sulfuric Acid is a key raw material in numerous industries, including:

1. Fertilizer Industry

• Used in the production of phosphoric acid, which is a primary ingredient in phosphate fertilizers like DAP (Diammonium Phosphate) and TSP (Triple Superphosphate).

2. Chemical Manufacturing

• Essential in producing hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfate salts, and synthetic detergents.
• Used in the manufacture of dyes, pigments, explosives, and pharmaceuticals.

3. Petroleum Refining

• Used in the alkylation process to improve the quality of gasoline.
• Helps in the removal of impurities from crude oil.

4. Battery Production

• Acts as an electrolyte in lead-acid batteries for vehicles and backup power systems.

5. Metal Processing

• Used for pickling and cleaning of steel and iron before further processing.
• Plays a role in copper and zinc refining.

6. Water Treatment

• Adjusts pH levels in industrial and municipal water treatment plants.

7. Textile and Paper Industry

• Used in pulp processing in paper production.
• Employed in textile dyeing and finishing processes.

Safety & Handling

• Highly corrosive: Can cause severe burns upon contact with skin and eyes.
• Exothermic reaction with water: Always add acid to water, not the reverse, to prevent splashing.
• Proper ventilation: Use in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhalation of fumes.
• Protective Gear: Use gloves, safety goggles, and acid-resistant clothing when handling.

Storage & Packaging

• Storage Conditions: Store in acid-resistant containers (such as polyethylene or lead-lined tanks).
• Packaging Options:
• Carboys (35-50 liters)
• Drums (200 liters)
• Bulk tanker trucks for large industrial use
