	Sulphuric Acid - LoveToKnow 1911
		SULPHURIC ACID, or OIL OF Vitriol, H2so 4, perhaps the most important of all chemicals, both on account of the large quantities made in all industrial countries and of the multifarious uses to which it is put.
		Sulphuric acid, being a dibasic acid, forms two series of salts with monovalent metals: an acid sulphate, Mhso 4, and a normal sulphate, M 2 50 4.
		The prognosis of sulphuric acid poisoning is bad, 60 to 70% of the cases proving fatal.

	Sulphuric Acid - MSN Encarta
		In 1740 the acid was produced successfully on a commercial scale by burning sulphur and potassium nitrate in a ladle suspended in a large glass globe partially filled with water.
		When concentrated sulphuric acid is heated, it behaves as an oxidizing agent, capable, for example, of dissolving such relatively unreactive metals as copper, mercury, and lead to produce metal sulphate, sulphur dioxide, and water.
		The trioxide is dissolved in concentrated sulphuric acid, and at the same time a regulated influx of water maintains the concentration at a selected level, usually about 95 per cent.

	Method for the purification of sulphuric acid containing mercury - Patent 3932149
		The sulphuric acid containing mercury is in a quantity suitably measured to maintain the concentration between 70 and 80 percent by weight led to the first drying tower.
		Sulphuric acid containing mercury can be obtained from sulpuric acid factories using the method of roasting metallic sulphides, for example, pyrites or zinc blende, and where the roaster gas is insufficiently purified.
		The sulphur trioxide used for absorption was produced by the oxidation of sulphur dioxide in the dried gas of the converter to sulphur trioxide.

		It is sulphuric acid, highly versatile and with distinctive properties that have earned for it the title, “King of the Chemicals.” And it is as simple to manufacture commercially as you will find it to be with a few odds and ends of bottles and jars on the kitchen table.
		Concentrated acid is made commercially by the “contact” process in which sulphur dioxide, produced by burning sulphur or roasting iron pyrites, is passed over a heated catalyst, which causes it to combine with oxygen of the air to form sulphur trioxide.
		Since the finely divided sulphur trioxide cannot be dissolved directly in water, it is added to concentrated sulphuric acid, forming a superconcentrated or “fuming” acid which is easily diluted to the required strength.

	Sulphuric Acid Dewpoint Temperature Monitoring in combustion plants
		A portable sulphuric acid dewpoint monitor (Lancom 200) is designed specifically for plant requiring only periodic monitoring of the sulphuric acid dewpoint temperature for boiler efficiency checks, corrosion protection and evaluation of the effectiveness of corrective measures such as fuel additives and changes in the combustion conditions.
		A solution to this issue is to pre-test using a portable sulphuric acid dewpoint monitor (Lancom 200) before and after the air heater, and at the precipitator, to establish the optimum installation point for a continuous sulphuric acid dewpoint monitor (Model 440).
		These are normally defined as sulphuric acid emissions in a vapor or liquid state, since the sulphuric acid absorbed in the fly ash is assumed to be removed by the dust collectors.
