ing conditions in the area suitable for the people involved who will be relocating in the area? Is
there any suggestions offered by governments to locate in a particular region? The final decision
on where the sulfuric acid plant really involves a careful examination and a compromise among all
of the factors that have been discussed above. Producing Sulfuric Acid Sulfuric acid is produced
by two principal processes-the chamber process and the contact process. The contact process is
the current process being used to produce sulfuric acid. In the contact process, a purified dry gas
mixture containing 7-10% sulfur dioxide and 11-14% oxygen is passed through a preheater to a
steel reactor containing a platinum or vanadium peroxide catalyst. The catalyst promotes the
oxidation of sulfur dioxide to trioxide. This then reacts with water to produce sulfuric acid. In
practice, sulfur trioxide reacts not with pure water but with recycled sulfuric acid.The reactions
are: 2SO2 + O2 * 2SO3 SO3 + H2O * H2SO4 The product of the contact plants is 98-100%
