Sulfuric Acid H₂SO₄ 98%
Product Information:

Description:
Sulfuric Acid (H₂SO₄, 98%) is a widely used chemical in fertilizer production and the pharmaceutical industry. It is also applied in water treatment, sugar refining, gasoline and battery manufacturing, steel production, paper industry, dye production, and more.
Characteristics:
-
Strong inorganic acid
-
Exists as a viscous, oil-like liquid
-
Colorless, but may appear yellow, gray, or brown if impurities are present
-
Odorless and non-volatile
Applications:
-
Drain cleaner: Due to its strong corrosive properties, sulfuric acid is essential in producing household and commercial drain cleaning solutions. It breaks down organic matter, grease, and fats in pipes, allowing wastewater to flow more easily.
-
Fertilizer production: Used to manufacture phosphate fertilizers, sodium phosphate, and considered a central substance in the chemical industry.
-
Chemical industry: Applied in the production of pesticides, synthetic fibers, detergents, plastics, and paints.
-
Phosphoric acid production: Serves as a raw material for phosphoric acid manufacturing.
-
Paper industry: Plays a role in producing aluminum sulfate and aluminum hydroxide, known in papermaking as “paper alum.”
-
Petroleum industry: Acts as a catalyst in the reaction between isobutane and isobutylene to produce isooctane, which increases the octane rating of gasoline.
-
Batteries: A mixture of sulfuric acid and water is used as an electrolyte in many lead-acid batteries.
-
Other uses: Catalyst in converting cyclohexane to caprolactam, and in producing hydrochloric acid from table salt using the Mannheim process.
