Sulfuric Acid
Identification:
Sulfuric Acid: A very strong acid, highly reactive, with a thick consistency. It is used as a basic input in many industries such as fertilizer manufacturing, metal processing, and glass production. It plays an important role in many industries because of its intense reactivity. It is considered one of the strongest acids and one of the strongest oxidation agents and has the ability to absorb moisture, which makes it one of the materials used in dehumidification applications in industrial processes.
Manufacturing method:
Sulfuric acid is manufactured via reaction of SO3 with water. Sulfur dioxide gas is first produced through the process of burning molten sulfur with air inside the furnace designated for this purpose. The combustion process produces sulfur dioxide gas (SO2). Then, sulfur dioxide gas (SO₂) is reacted with oxygen inside the reactor with a catalyst to stimulate the reaction process (Catalytic Beds Converter). The reaction process produces sulfur trioxide gas (SO₃) necessary to produce sulfuric acid. The process of absorbing sulfur trioxide gas into water takes place inside the absorption towers to produce sulfuric acid with a concentration of 98.5%.
Production capacity:
Sulfuric acid is produced at a production capacity of 1,650,000 ton/year in the Industrial Complex in Aqaba.
