Sulfuric acid production

[@sameralqadri1018]

So great explanation

[@ChemwithKem]

I love this video. I have used it over the years in my Advanced level classes. I missed the step where sulphur trioxide is added to sulphuric aco form oleum, which is then diluted to required concentration of sulphuric

[@brianjones9251]

I was the chap in the blue boiler suit. I worked there and ran the plant for 15 years.

@@brianjones9251okay brian. How nifty! If i worked there I wouldve taken a swim in the sulfuric acid tank ages ago!

Good

Thank you

Ok. A video about making sulfuric acid and is says in one step to use sulfuric acid. One question, where did you get the acid the first time if there was none made yet?

[@EdwardTriesToScience]

For the initial amount of acid in the adsorption tower it can be made by adding sulfur trioxide to the water itself, however this is a highly exothermic reaction which is why the sulfur trioxide is dissolved in conc sulfuric acid already to form oleum which is then diluted, rather than dissolving sulfur trioxide in water

[@dergereatl8796]

So3 dissolves way better and faster in h2so4 than water. Thats why this is done this way. It is possible to add water directly to s03 to form h2so4, but its slow. Meaning you could do that to get a certqin amount of h2so4 to kickstart this chem plant and then run it on the h2so4 produced in it

[@brianjones9251]

We always started with 98% sulphuric in the towers at 60 to 70'C. It is not possible to add SO3 to water it is too dangerous and does not make sulphuric but sulphurous acid.

[@jaysukhpatel4075]

We manufacture best quality of pumps for sulfuric acid

[@Rohandutt]

Is water is diatilled before use

[@redhidinghood9337]

Probably, to avoid other minerals and such from interfering with the reaction.

[@jesscorbin5981]

Can anyone in HVAC explain the setup at 1:58 please?

[@jesscorbin5981]

@Reveñant Would you say there's any fouling on it?

[@jesscorbin5981]

@Reveñant Same same? What do they produce there?

[@nickbelmares]

Fixing to buy a chemical plant to get that free electricity 😂

[@SusanSyokau-p6y]

Drying agent for ammonia

[@malcolmanon4762]

Obviously had an American director for this video lol

[@shawnfoogle920]

was curious, still confused lol

[@EdwardTriesToScience]

They burn sulfur to make SO2 gas, then react with more air to make SO3 which is dissolved in sulfuric acid to form oleum which is then diluted ti the required concentration, why the SO3 is dissolved in sulfuric rather than in water is since dissolving SO3 in water is stupidly more exothermic than diluting oleum

[@EdwardTriesToScience]

Oleum is just sulfuric acid with SO3 dissolved in, and so is called fuming sulfuric acid as the dissolved SO3 fumes acid mist in the presence of air moisture

[@clevc112]

Besides producing acid, the plant also produces a lot of death.

Hi

[@evgenlevitin2026]

sulfuric is more correctly sulphuric

[@KLOP123P]

Correctamente dicho maestro.

[@EdwardTriesToScience]

both are valid, depends on where in the world you are from
