ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>Sulfuric Acid</b>. Sulfuric Acid is one of the most widely used industrial chemicals, essential in fertilizer production, metal processing, and chemical manufacturing. It serves as a strong acid catalyst and dehydrating agent. Sulfuric acid is produced via the contact process, involving the oxidation of sulfur dioxide. It is typically stored in corrosion-resistant tanks and must be handled with caution due to its highly corrosive nature.</p> <h6>Raw Materials</h6> <p><b>Chemicals</b>. </p> <b>Sulfur</b>. Sulfur is an abundant, multivalent non-metal of great importance in the chemical industry. It is a key raw material, mainly used in the form of Sulfuric Acid and sulfur dioxide. In its elemental form, sulfur is used in the production of carbon disulfide, rubber, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Elemental sulfur can be produced from a variety of sources, and through a number of different techniques. It is frequently obtained as by-product from petroleum refining, natural gas processing and coking plants, for instance.</p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/089-A.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises two major sections: (1) Sulfur burning; and (2) Double contact process.</p><p>Sulfur burning. Elemental sulfur (in molten form) and dried air are fed to a combustion furnace, in which the sulfur is burned to produce sulfur dioxide. The proportion between air flow and sulfur feed rate is controlled so that sufficient concentration of oxygen is maintained in the process gas, ensuring proper conversion of SO2 to SO3 in the subsequent steps. This combustion furnace is equipped with a waste heat boiler that cools down the reaction gas and generates high pressure steam, which, in turn, is fed to a turbine for generating electricity. The cooled reaction product gas is directed to the SO2 converter.</p><p>Double contact process. In the SO2 Converter, the sulfur dioxide is oxidized to sulfur trioxide. This step occurs in five catalyst beds within a single vertical converter. The gases from the third bed leave the reactor and are directed to an Intermediate absorption step downstream, in which part of the sulfur trioxide formed reacts with existing water in the recirculating sulfuric acid, forming more sulfuric acid. After such intermediate absorption step, the column off-gas is routed to the fourth and fifth beds for the last catalytic oxidation stages. The oxidation product is sent to the final absorption step, which is analog to the intermediate absorption. The concentrated sulfuric acid obtained is then fed to the intermediate absorption circuit - the final product (98.5 wt% sulfuric acid) is discharged from the intermediate absorber circuit.</p>
ICC - Short Description: This report presents the economics of Sulfuric Acid production from sulfur in the United States. In this process, sulfur is burned to form sulfor dioxide, which is then converted to sulfur trioxide. Sulfor trioxide is converted to sulfuric acid by double-contact double absorption (DC/DA) with a high concentration sulfuric acid solution in water.
