Discussion on the further development of existing acid production processes

It seems that existing acid production processes have reached their limits; is it still possible to improve them further? Due to limitations in furnace temperature and concerns regarding nitrogen oxides, the concentration obtained through air combustion in sulfur incinerators is not high, and acid production is merely a conventional conversion process. Imagine using a gas turbine for the combustion of sulfur in the production of sulfuric acid; by further heating liquid sulfur to sulfur vapor and feeding it into the combustion chamber of the gas turbine, along with the use of oxygen-enriched air, it is possible to obtain a high concentration of SO2 while also achieving a significant increase in energy efficiency. The above is just to provoke further discussion; everyone is welcome to share their own opinions^_^
Make a bold prediction: In the future, sulfur-based acid production (or acid production via hydrogen sulfide combustion) will utilize gas turbines and oxygen-enriched conditions to produce high-concentration SO2. Acid production facilities will employ high-concentration conversion processes, resulting in smaller equipment sizes and a significant increase in energy efficiency.
The wet process for sulfuric acid production is an advanced process, right?
The oxygen-enriched process requires large investment in oxygen production and results in high costs.
When burning hydrogen sulfide, in order to control the temperature of the furnace and nitrogen oxides, the concentration of flue gases produced is very low, which necessarily results in larger sizes for the acid production equipment.

Currently, the investment required for oxygen production using pressure swing adsorption is not high; the costs associated with oxygen production can be covered, even with a surplus, by improving the efficiency of the acid production equipment.
This prediction is bold, making full use of energy.
Ultra-low emissions are achieved through a combination of rotation and absorption along with ionic liquid desulfurization, resulting in energy savings and environmental protection
