Sulphuric acid 98%
Sulfuric acid (HSO) at a concentration of 98% is one of the most widely used industrial chemicals due to its strong acidic properties and versatility.
Properties of 98% Sulfuric Acid
Chemical Formula: HSO
Concentration: 98% (remaining 2% is water)
Appearance: Colorless, oily liquid
Density: ~1.84 g/cm³ (highly dense)
Boiling Point: ~337°C (639°F)
Melting Point: ~10°C (50°F)
Corrosivity: Highly corrosive to metals, organic materials, and human tissue.
Hygroscopicity: Absorbs moisture from the air, making it a strong dehydrating agent.
Applications of 98% Sulfuric Acid
98% sulfuric acid is a key raw material in numerous industries due to its strong acidic and dehydrating properties. Major applications include:
1. Fertilizer Production
Used in the manufacture of phosphate fertilizers (e.g., superphosphate and ammonium sulfate).
Reacts with phosphate rock to produce phosphoric acid, a key fertilizer ingredient.
2. Chemical Manufacturing
Production of chemicals such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and sulfate salts.
Used as a catalyst or reagent in organic synthesis (e.g., sulfonation, alkylation).
3. Petroleum Refining
Used in alkylation processes to produce high-octane gasoline.
Purification of petroleum products by removing impurities.
4. Metal Processing
Pickling and Cleaning: Removes rust and scale from steel and iron surfaces.
Used in the production of copper, zinc, and other metals.
5. Water Treatment
pH adjustment and neutralization in wastewater treatment plants.
6. Textile Industry
Used in dyeing processes and the production of synthetic fibers.
7. Battery Manufacturing
Key component in lead-acid batteries (though typically at lower concentrations, around 30-50%).
8. Dehydrating Agent
Used in laboratories and industries to remove water from gases and organic compounds.
Sulfuric acid is one of the strongest acids and is highly corrosive.
It is a colorless, oily, very viscous and hygroscopic
liquid

Sulfuric acid is a key substance in the chemical industry. It is most commonly used in fertilizer manufacture, but is also important in mineral processing, oil refining, wastewater processing, and chemical synthesis
Sulfur is one of the most important agricultural and industrial raw materials and is considered a strategic product sulfur is an odourless, tasteless and polyvalent nonmetal which is mostly in the form of yellow crystals and is obtained from sulphide and sulphate. Sulphur occurs naturally in the environment and is the thirteenth most abundant element in the earth�¢??s crust. It can be mined in its elemental form, although this method has declined over the last decade to less than 2% of world production. Today most elemental sulphur is obtained as a co-product recovered from oil and gas production in sweetening process.
Sulphur is the primary source in the production of sulphuric acid, the world�¢??s most widely used chemical. Sulphuric acid is an essential intermediate in many processes in the chemical and manufacturing industries. Sulphuric acid also is used by the fertilizer industry to manufacture primarily phosphates, nitrogen, potassium, and sulphate fertilizers.
Sulfur reacts directly with methane to give carbon disulfide, used to manufacture cellophane and rayon. One of the direct uses of sulfur is in vulcanization of rubber, where polysulfide chains crosslink organic polymers. Large quantities of sulfites are used to bleach paper and to preserve dried fruit. Many surfactants and detergents (e.g. sodium lauryl sulfate) are sulfate derivatives. Calcium sulfate, gypsum, is mined on the scale of 100 million tonnes each year for use in Portland cement and fertilizers. Sulphur is increasingly used as a component of fertilizers. Sulfur can be used in agriculture and various industries such as plastics and many synthetic products, paper, paint, etc.
The increasing demand from the fertilizer manufacturing sector, coupled with increasing usage of sulfur for vulcanization of rubber are the main factors driving the growth of the global sulfur industry. Moreover, owing to the fall of crude prices, refineries across the globe are engaging in capacity expansion and other brownfield activities, leading to higher demand for sulfur. The demand for sulfur is also anticipated to be driven by the increasing usage of elemental sulfur as a major ingredient in the vulcanization process implemented to manufacture rubber. However, the enactment of stringent environmental regulations restricting the usage of sulfur and the high costs associated with its mining, are the key factors hindering the sulfur market growth.
The global market is segmented based on end-user applications, including agrochemicals, chemical processing, metal manufacturing, petroleum refining, and others. In 2016, the agrochemical industry occupied the largest share in terms of sulfur consumption. It is expected that the healthy growth of the phosphate fertilizer market will drive the global sulfur market over the forecast year.

When added in small amounts sulphur improves machinability but does cause hot shortness. Hot shortness is reduced by the addition of manganese which combines with the sulphur to form a manganese sulphide. As manganese sulphide has a higher melting point than Iron sulphide, which would form if manganese were not present, the weak spots at the gain boundaries are greatly reduced during hot working
