Catalysts play a very important role in the advancement of human civilization and the development of the world economy; every major breakthrough in this field has significantly transformed the way humans produce and live. The emergence of each catalyst has given rise to a new industry; today we introduce one of the eight catalysts that have changed the world since the Industrial Revolution: the sulfuric acid synthesis catalyst.

Sulfuric acid synthesis catalysts The sulfuric acid industry is one of the most important industries in modern times. In 1875, a German chemist named Jacob established the world’s first production line for manufacturing fuming sulfuric acid, using very expensive platinum catalysts in the process – this marked the beginning of the use of solid industrial catalysts. Ten years later, chemists at Germany’s BASF company developed a more cost-effective alternative process that used V2O5, which is widely used today, as a catalyst. It was this sulfur production process that enabled BASF to become the world’s largest producer of sulfuric acid at that time. Why was sulfuric acid so important in the 19th century? It served as a raw material for almost all industries of that time – metallurgy, machinery, **, textiles – just as oil was in the second half of the 20th century, and chips were in that same era. In this **field, sulfuric acid is regarded by all ** as a strategic material, and it is also the basic raw material for producing **.
