A GUIDE TO SEALING SULPHURIC ACID AND SULPHURIC ACID PRODUCTION PLANTS Introduction Sulphuric Acid is the highest volume inorganic chemical manufactured world-wide. Approximately 60% of world production is consumed in producing phosphate Fertilizers, the balance being used in literally thousands of other applications including Lead Acid Batteries, the production of other Acids, Pharmaceuticals, Plastics, Dyes & Pigments (e.g. Titanium Dioxide), Electroplating, Explosives, Metals Processing and Petroleum Refining. Sulphuric Acid is a clear or slightly cloudy, heavy, oily, toxic liquid. Other names used include Oil of Vitriol, ROV (Rectified oil of Vitriol), BOV (Brown Oil of Vitriol) and Battery Acid. At concentrations over 98% it has a pungent smell due to the presence of free Sulphur Trioxide, but below 98% it has little odour. Sulphuric Acid is commercially available in concentrations from 33%, used in storage batteries, up to 100%. Oleum, or Fuming Sulphuric Acid, is a solution of excess Sulphur Trioxide in anhydrous (100%) Sulphuric Acid. Since Oleum can be diluted with water to produce 100% Sulphuric Acid, the equivalent acid concentration is often used. For example, 66% Oleum is also known as 114.6% Sulphuric Acid. © Copyright 2002 AESSEAL plc All Rights Reserved.
