The current situation facing sulfuric acid manufacturers
Thread Content
Currently, the price of sulfuric acid is incredibly low; back then, a price of over 100 yuan per ton was already considered low. It’s currently 20-30 per ton. Do you think it can go any lower? High environmental pressure, the impact of various acid-producing processes, and the closure of downstream enterprises. The price of sulfuric acid has been lowered again and again. The market conditions for sulfuric acid slag from ore acid manufacturers are also constantly changing. As a result, various companies are struggling in difficult circumstances. Companies that produce only one type of sulfuric acid product face even greater difficulties. At present, various companies are seeking breakthroughs by installing environmental protection facilities, expanding their product ranges, extending their industrial chains, and forming integrations and alliances. Can they carve out a path forward in these difficult circumstances?
The supply of sulfuric acid far exceeds demand, and environmental pressures are increasing; it will be difficult for sulfuric acid alone to survive, so it is imperative to develop new industries. Otherwise, it will be eliminated by the market
Too many chemical enterprises downstream that use sulfuric acid have suspended operations or shut down

There is a severe overcapacity in sulfuric acid production. According to online reports, the new or planned sulfuric acid production capacity between 2019 and 2023 will exceed 23 million tons, primarily for use in metallurgical processes. However, the demand for sulfuric acid in our country is unlikely to see significant growth. In the coming years, the pressure of overcapacity in this industry will continue to increase, and it is inevitable that outdated production capacity will be phased out!
The sulfuric acid industry has undergone substantial changes, and a new round of restructuring has begun; by persevering, a new balance will eventually be achieved. Supply: Just as sulfuric acid was previously produced from pyrite instead of sulfur, smelter acid will replace a portion of sulfur-based sulfuric acid production, becoming the mainstream method for sulfuric acid manufacture. As for the downstream uses of sulfuric acid, in addition to the demand from traditional fertilizer production, the acid used in mineral processing abroad can help utilize some of the excess sulfuric acid production capacity; in fact, China has shifted from being a country that imports sulfuric acid to one that exports it.
With just sulfuric acid alone, it’s impossible to proceed. There’s an overcapacity in iron production, as well as in sulfuric acid production
