Description
Sulfuric Acid, also known as Sulphuric Acid, is a highly corrosive and strong mineral acid with the chemical formula H2SO4. It is one of the most widely used and important industrial chemicals. Sulfuric acid has numerous industrial applications, including: Chemical Production: It is a fundamental chemical for the production of various chemicals, including fertilizers, detergents, dyes, pigments, pharmaceuticals, and explosives. Petroleum Refining: Sulfuric acid is used in the petroleum industry for the purification of petroleum products and the production of alkylates, which are high-octane components of gasoline. Battery Production: Sulfuric acid is a key component in the manufacturing of lead-acid batteries used in vehicles, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and other applications. Metal Processing: It is used in metal processing and pickling operations to remove oxide layers and impurities from metal surfaces, facilitating further processing and finishing. pH Control: Sulfuric acid is employed in water treatment processes to adjust pH levels, especially in alkaline water, for various industrial and municipal applications.
