Sulfuric Acid

Sulfuric acid is a colorless oily liquid. It is soluble in water with release of heat. It is corrosive to metals and tissue. It will char wood and most other organic matter on contact, but is unlikely to cause a fire. Density 15 lb / gal. Long term exposure to low concentrations or short term exposure to high concentrations can result in adverse health effects from inhalation. It is used to make fertilizers and other chemicals, in petroleum refining, in iron and steel production, and some times uses as a strong acid in gas and oil well drilling for drilling systems.

Turkey Sulfuric Acid

Turkey sulfuric acid  Rate of onset: Immediate Persistence: Hours, days Odor threshold: Source/use/other hazard: Battery/dyes/paper/glue/metals industries; volcanic gas; toxic fumes when heated. Sulfuric Acid is a liquid that is used to create batteries and processing units. It is converted, by the chemical plant, from sulfur, water, and iron plates. In 0.15 it must also be piped into electric mining drills to mine Uranium ore. Sulfuric acid is one of the most important compounds made by the chemical industry. It is used to make, literally, hundreds of compounds needed by almost every industry which our company supplies all grades for Turkey sulfuric acid.

Sulfuric Acid Specification

Sulfuric acid is formed naturally by oxidation of sulfide minerals in rocks. Dilute sulfuric acid is also formed in the atmosphere by oxidation of sulfur dioxide (from burning of fuels) in the presence of moisture, eventually precipitating as ‘acid rain’. Sulfuric acid is prepared commercially by the reaction of water with sulfur trioxide. H2SO4 is a colorless or slightly yellow viscous liquid with a pungent odor. It has a density of 1.84 g/mL, boiling point of 337 °C, and melting point of 10 °C. “Concentrated” sulfuric acid is 98% in water, and is the most stable form.

Sulfuric Acid Grades

Many other concentrations, with different names, are available for various purposes.

Battery acid is 29–32%, chamber acid is 62-70%, and tower acid is 78-80%. Sulfuric acid has many uses in different industries, such as mineral processing, petroleum refining, fertilizer production, wastewater processing, etc. It is also used in the production of cleaning agents, dyes, pigments, drugs, detergents, and explosives. It is commonly used as the electrolyte in lead-acid batteries. Concentrated H2SO4 is highly corrosive, and can severely damage tissues upon contact.
Sulfuric acid , a useful acid but dangerous to touch

Being a strong acid, oxidizer, corrosive agent and dehydrating agent, it is more dangerous than the other mineral acids. It causes severe chemical burns upon skin contact. Contact with eyes can lead to permanent damage and blindness. Ingestion of the acid can even lead to death. Sulfuric acid just might be a bigger deal than you realize. It’s actually an international commodity chemical produced in large quantities all around the world. While sulfuric acid has primarily industrial uses, it’s also found in common household products such as drain cleaner and fertilizer. Here is some important information about sulfuric acid safety so you can be prepared when using this chemical, whether in the workplace or around the home.
