Additional Details

Sulphuric Acid is one of the most important Industrial Chemical. More of it is made each year than is made of any other manufactured chemical.It has widely varied uses and plays some part in the production of nearly all manufactured goods. The major use of Sulphuric Acid is in the production of Fertilisers., e.g. superphosphate of lime and Ammonium Sulphate.
It is widely used in the manufacture of Chemicals e.g. in the making Hydrochloric Acid Nitric Acid, Sulfate Salts, Synthetic Detergents, Dyes & Pigments, Explosives, Drugs.
