Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) is one of the most widely used industrial chemicals, playing a critical role in various industries such as fertilizers, chemicals, petroleum refining, and wastewater treatment. Its highly corrosive nature and strong acidic properties make it essential for manufacturing phosphate fertilizers, battery acid, and synthetic detergents. The production of sulfuric acid primarily relies on the contact process, where sulfur dioxide is oxidized to sulfur trioxide before being absorbed in water to form the final product. With increasing environmental concerns, modern sulfuric acid production also incorporates gas scrubbing technologies to reduce emissions and improve efficiency.
Market Trend and Drivers of Sulfuric Acid:
The global sulfuric acid market has been experiencing steady growth, driven by rising demand from the agricultural sector, where it is a key component in phosphate fertilizer production. Additionally, the growing chemical manufacturing industry and advancements in metal processing have fueled market expansion. However, fluctuating raw material prices, stringent environmental regulations, and supply chain disruptions can pose challenges to market stability. Asia-Pacific remains the dominant region in sulfuric acid consumption due to rapid industrialization in countries like China and India. Moving forward, the market is expected to witness further innovation in sustainable production methods, including recycling spent acid and adopting greener production techniques to reduce environmental impact.
