Sulfur is the basic raw material for manufacture of sulfuric acid,
which is considered the barometer of india's industrial progress.
In more advanced countries this rule is no longer valid as the overall industry grows rapidly with sulfuric acid virtually stable.
Current production is at the same level as that of the USA in about 1900 and the per capita consumption of acid in india is only 4% of that in the USA. These figures give indication of the immense development possibilities for india.
Raw material sources of sulfuric acid
Sulfuric acid may be produced from
elemental sulfur, pyrites, hydrogen sulfide as contained in sour gas and petroleum, waste gases from the burning of fuel and smelting operations such as pyrites of copper, iron , zinc and lead.
Elemental Sulfur, pyrites and sulfides are the basic raw materials for production of sulfuric acid in india.
Sulfuric acid produced by burning of fuel and smelting operations is called by-product sulfuric acid.
