Report Description
Sulfuric acid is a diprotic acid that exhibits different variety of properties depending upon
its concentration. Sulphuric acid has the biggest output of any chemical in the world.
Sulphuric acid is majorly used in the manufacture of chemicals to make sulfate salts,
pigments, dyes, nitric acid, sulfate salts, and others. It also serves as the electrolyte in the
lead acid storage battery.
Sulphuric acid is widely used in the production of phosphate fertilizers. Sulphuric acid is a
complex market that involves the chemistry of product supply and demand. There is
variation in pricing of Sulphuric acid between regions depending upon the regulations
and concentrations. There are four stages in the manufacturing of sulphuric acid that
includes extraction of sulphur, conversion of Sulphur into sulphur dioxide, then
converting sulphur dioxide to sulphur trioxide, and final conversion of sulphur trioxide to
sulphuric acid.
Sulphuric acid is used to wash impurities out of gasoline and other refinery products in
petroleum refining. Sulphuric acid is also used as catalyst and dehydrating agent in
petrochemical process and organic chemical manufacturing. The global sulphuric acid
market is segmented on the basis of manufacturing process, application, and region.
Manufacturing process includes Lead Chamber Process, Contact Process, Wet Sulfuric
Acid Process, and Others. Applications include Phosphate Fertilizers, Chemical
Manufacturing, Agricultural Chemistry, Electrolyte In Lead-Acid Storage Battery, Metal
Processing, and Others.
