Industrial Uses

1. Agrochemicals

  • Phosphoric Acid Production: Sulphuric Acid is mainly used to react with phosphate rock to produce phosphoric acid, which is the key raw material for manufacturing phosphate fertilizers such as DAP, MAP, and SSP.
  • Superphosphate Fertilizers: It is directly used in the production of Single Super Phosphate (SSP), supplying essential sulfur and phosphorus for crop growth.
  • Soil Nutrient Improvement: Provides sulfur, an important secondary nutrient for plants, helping improve crop yield and soil fertility.
  • pH Control in Fertilizer Plants: Used to control acidity during fertilizer manufacturing and formulation processes.

2. Performance Chemicals

  • Raw Material for Chemicals: Acts as a base chemical for producing hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, titanium dioxide, detergents, dyes, pigments, and explosives.
  • Sulfonation & Nitration: Used in sulfonation and nitration reactions to manufacture surfactants, intermediates, and specialty chemicals.
  • Dehydrating Agent: Strong dehydrating nature makes it useful for drying gases and removing water from chemical reactions.
  • Catalyst & Reaction Medium: Used as a catalyst in esterification and alkylation reactions.
