Sulfuric Acid (H₂SO₄) – Industrial Grade Sulfuric by BTJ Group
Sulfuric Acid is one of the most essential industrial chemicals. With formula H₂SO₄, it is a powerful strong mineral acid that dissolves easily in water, is highly corrosive, and plays a critical role across many industrial sectors. At BTJ Group, we supply premium, laboratory‑certified sulfuric acid to meet demanding industrial and processing needs.
What is Sulfuric Acid?
Chemical Name: Sulfuric Acid
Molecular Formula: H₂SO₄
Classification: Strong mineral acid
Sulfuric acid is a colorless, oily‑looking liquid (viscous) with no odor. It is infinitely soluble in water and, when mixed, generates a very large amount of heat. Because of its strength and reactivity, sulfuric must be handled with care and stored correctly.
Key Properties of Sulfuric Acid
Property
Details
Corrosivity
Extremely high; will corrode metals and organic tissue on contact
Solubility
Fully miscible with water; reacts exothermically when diluted
Heat Generation
Releases considerable heat when mixed with water — always add acid to water, not water to acid
Classification
Strong acid, oxidizing potential in concentrated form
Industrial Applications of Sulfuric
Sulfuric acid is a cornerstone in many manufacturing and industrial processes:
Fertilizer Industry: Used to produce phosphate fertilizers and other nutrient compounds.
Mining & Ore Processing: For leaching and refining of metals like copper, zinc, and uranium.
Chemical Synthesis: Manufacture of dyes, pigments, detergents, polymers, and other specialty chemicals.
Petroleum & Refineries: Used in alkylation, acid treatment, and refining operations.
Automotive Battery Manufacturing: Serves as the electrolyte in lead‑acid batteries.
Wastewater Treatment: Adjusting pH, neutralization, and removal of heavy metals.
Plastics & Coatings: In raw material preparation, production of intermediates.
Catalyst & Ion‑Exchange Processes: Used as catalyst or ion‑exchange medium in certain chemical processes.
Hazards & Safety for Sulfuric Acid
Because of its potent corrosive nature, sulfuric acid presents serious hazards:
Severe chemical burns on skin or eyes
Respiratory damage if vapors are inhaled
Can damage surfaces, equipment, and infrastructure
Proper safety protocols must be in place when working with sulfuric acid.
First Aid Measures for Sulfuric Acid Exposure
Inhalation
Move the person to fresh air immediately. If breathing difficulty continues or symptoms worsen, obtain medical attention.
Skin Contact
Rinse affected skin with plenty of water (at least 15 minutes). Clean gently with soap if available. Do not apply strong creams; aloe vera gel can soothe after wash.
Eye Contact
Flush eyes with copious clean water for 15 minutes, taking care to hold eyelids apart to ensure full rinsing. Seek ophthalmic medical care immediately.
Ingestion
If swallowed and consciousness is present, rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Transport to medical care immediately.
Safe Handling & Storage Guidelines
Handling: Use full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) — acid‑resistant gloves, goggles, face shield, apron. Avoid inhaling mists or vapors. Always add acid to water, never water to acid.
Storage:
• Keep in corrosion‑resistant containers (e.g., stainless steel, special plastics)
• Store in a cool, dry, well‑ventilated area
• Ensure containers are tightly sealed and clearly labeled
Incompatible Materials: Strong bases, organic materials, light (UV), moisture. Sulfuric acid will react vigorously with water if mis‑handled.
