Sulfite
compounds that contain the sulfite SO3
uses of sulfite
wine, chips, dried fruit
sulphuric acid uses
pharmaceuticals, gasoline, car batteries, bleaching, water treatment
sulfuric acid producti
combustion of sulphur to produce SO2 in the presence of dry air, (2) oxidation of SO2 to SO3 in a series of adiabatic catalytic packed beds, and (3) absorption of sulphur trioxide in a concentrated sulphuric acid absorber and conversion to sulphuric acid.
Sulfuric acid contact process
Sulfur dioxide and oxygen, passed over a hot catalyst, unite to form sulfur trioxide, which combines with water to make sulfuric acid.
Chemical properties of sulfuric acid
Reacts with metals, hydroxydes, metaloxydes, salts.
