What is the future of sulfuric acid in batteries?
Thread Content
The market for sulfuric acid has been at a low level. I’m not sure what the prospects are for sulfuric acid used in batteries or as a reagent. Could any experienced professionals give me some insights? Perhaps this could represent an alternative use path for sulfuric acid.
Battery sulfuric acid or reagent sulfuric acid has a relatively high added value, but given the volume of industrial sulfuric acid production, the market for it is limited and competition is fierce.
Sulfuric acid for batteries is a promising approach, but it is also subject to market and regional constraints. The sulfuric acid industry still relies on the downstream phosphate fertilizer industry for support and is affected by the broader economic environment
The market share of sulfuric acid for batteries is too small; it’s okay to engage in minor activities in this area. A large output makes it difficult to sell.
I was wondering if anyone knows whether the acid obtained from the drying tower in the process of producing sulfuric acid meets the sulfur dioxide content requirements for battery acid; I think the drying tower functions somewhat like a desorption tower as well
Which senior has worked with batteries or sulfuric acid reagents? Could you please introduce the manufacturing process? (The company’s acid transparency, iron ion levels, and other parameters are quite good.) ）
The transparency of our sulfuric acid, as well as parameters such as iron ions, are also quite good. We originally intended to use it as acid for batteries, but downstream users (battery manufacturers) continue to use reagent acid; there are few even willing to try it out, making it difficult to penetrate the market. Starting production of reagent acid again seems to require significant investment. Those among you who are familiar with this manufacturing process would be kindly asked to share their insights!
