MANUFACTURE OF SULPHURIC ACID IN INDUSTRY 1. Contact process produces more than 90% of the world’s sulphuric acid. 2. The raw materials used for the manufacture of sulphuric aced are sulphur‚ air and water. 3. The Contact process consists of three stages. a) Production of suphur dioxide b) Conversion of sulphur dioxide to sulphur trioxide. c) Production fo sulphuric acid 4. Stage I: Production of sulphur dioxide a) Sulphur is burnt in air to produce sulphur dioxide. S(s) + O2 (g)→SO (g) b) Burning

In 1952‚ a toxic smog covered London. This fog continued to blanket the city for four days. Although this is a short period of time‚ the smog had a fatal aftermath. This still continues today and affects the people who were exposed to the toxic fumes. There were many things that contributed to the way the smog started‚ ended‚ and how it became toxic. One main reason why the smog started and lasted so long was because of the weather. There was a high-pressure air mass stalled over the Thames

allow Southern the needed capital to invest in other projects in the future. In my analysis‚ I looked at the possibility of purchasing and installing scrubbers as pollution control equipment‚ which would create a 90% reduction in your generated sulfur dioxide emissions. Initially‚ this appears to be an excellent strategy; however‚ there exists many constraints. The first constraint is the cost. The scrubbers would cost over $719 million over a three year span. And even though you could depreciate

THE CONTACT PROCESS By: Kabeer Ali Teacher- Mrs. Sankar Class- Lower6 Science 2 INTRODUCTION The Contact Process is the name given for the manufacture of Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4(l)). There must also be specific conditions of temperature‚ pressure and catalyst for the reaction to occur effectively. I will also look at the effect of temperature‚ pressure and catalyst on the composition of the equilibrium mixture‚ with respect to Le Châtelier’s principle. THE PROCESS Firstly‚

Investigate the Effect of Acid Rain on Building Materials Question: What is the effect of 6M sulfuric acid (H2SO4) on the corrosion rate of the 3 grams of steel as the amount (number of sprays) of sulfuric acid increases? Variables: Independent variable: the number of sprays of 6M sulfuric acid (0‚ 5‚ 10‚ 15‚ 20‚ 25 times) to observe its effect on the corrosion rate. Each spray will contain about 10mL. Dependent variable: The corrosion rate. It will be calculated by measuring the mass of steel

Animal extinction is happening nowadays due to the multiple factors of environmental degradation. The primary cause of environmental degradation is human disturbance. Extinctions caused by human are generally considered to be are recent phenomena. When humans convert wild areas for agriculture‚ forestry‚ urban development‚ or water projects including dams‚ hydropower‚ and irrigation‚ they reduce or eliminate its usefulness as a habitat for the other species that live there. The temperature of the

Air pollution is a huge problem in North Carolina. We know this is a problem because “in 2012‚ North Carolina ranked 8th in the country for our high levels of toxic air pollution from coal-fired power plants” (“NC’s Air Quality”). Besides coal-fired power plants‚ transportation‚ paper mills‚ and industrial facilities also play a part in our air pollution (“NC’s Air Quality”). “North Carolina was a leader in protecting public health by establishing air toxics rules in the early 1980’s prior to federal

1-INTRODUCTION:- The increasing demand of electrical power in cities and industrial centres necessitates the installation of a compact and efficient distribution and transmission network. High voltage gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is ideal for such applications. The range of application of SF₆ Gas Insulated Switchgear extends from voltage ratings of 72.5 kV up to 800 kV with breaking currents of up to 63 kA‚ and in special cases up to 80 kA. Both small transformer substations and large load- centre
