applications

Primary use in the “wet method” for the production of Phosphoric Acid (Also available at Airedale Chemical), used for manufacture of phosphate fertilizers – These are added to the soil to improve plant growth. In agriculture farmers employ specialist contractors to spray their fields of potatoes with a solution of Sulphuric Acid before harvesting so that the green tops die back and blacken. This helps to dry out the stem and prevents them from becoming tangled in harvesting equipment.
The process of refining crude oil requires the use of an acid as a catalyst and Sulphuric Acid is often used for this purpose.
Important in the manufacture of dyestuffs solutions.

Used for making nylon
Engineering - Usual acid catalyst for the conversion of cyclohexanone oxide to caprolactam,

Metal Processing - Used in large quantities by the iron and steel making industry to remove oxidation, rust and scaling from rolled sheet and billets prior to sale to the automobile and major appliances industry.

Personal Care - Frequently the major ingredient in acidic drain cleaners used to remove grease, hair, tissue paper
