Sulfuric Acid

High-purity sulfuric acid (98%) for industrial applications including chemical manufacturing and fertilizers

Definition

Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) is a strong mineral acid — a colorless, odorless, oily liquid that is highly corrosive and fully miscible with water. Recognized as one of the most important industrial chemicals, sulfuric acid is essential to a broad range of manufacturing processes worldwide.

Chemical formula: H2SO4

Sulfuric Acid Applications

The backbone of modern industry with vital roles across multiple sectors

Chemical & Fertilizer Industry

The largest application of sulfuric acid is in the production of phosphate fertilizers such as superphosphate and ammonium phosphate.
Used in manufacturing synthetic chemicals, detergents, and dyes. Essential for producing hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and sulfate salts.

Metallurgical Industry

Used in metal pickling (cleaning and preparation of metals like iron and steel).
Plays a key role in leaching processes for copper, zinc, and uranium extraction. Ensures oxide removal and enhances surface finishing in metal treatment.

Petroleum & Automotive Sector

Used in refining crude oil, particularly in alkylation processes to improve fuel octane levels.
Essential in battery manufacturing, especially for lead-acid automotive batteries that power vehicles worldwide.

Water Treatment & Industrial Cleaning

Acts as a pH regulator and descaling agent in industrial water treatment.
Used for industrial cleaning, degreasing, and wastewater purification in various manufacturing and processing facilities.

Environmental & Miscellaneous Uses

Applied in flue-gas desulfurization and pollution control systems to reduce environmental impact.
Used in textile, paper, and explosives manufacturing, demonstrating the chemical's remarkable versatility across industries.

Safety & Handling

Comprehensive safety information for proper handling and storage

Hazard Identification

Inhalation: Destructive effects on mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract.
Skin Contact: Corrosive - may cause redness, pain, and burns.
Eye Contact: Corrosive - may cause blurred vision.
Ingestion: Corrosive - may cause serious burns.

Protective Equipment

Safety glasses, acid-resistant clothing, and safety shoes are mandatory. Ensure proper ventilation in storage and handling areas.

Transport & Storage

Transport by land or sea in acid-resistant tanks. Store in closed containers away from moisture, with acid-resistant flooring. Keep away from heat and water sources.

Spill Procedures

Wear appropriate protective equipment, isolate the dangerous area. Neutralize with alkaline materials (sodium carbonate, lime), then absorb with inert material (sand).
