I have waste sulfur here; I wonder if it can be used to produce sulfuric acid
Thread Content
I have waste sulfur and waste materials with high sulfur content. Incineration requires high standards for boilers, and desulfurization and denitrification are also necessary afterward. I’m not sure if it’s feasible to produce sulfuric acid; the requirements for the acid produced don’t need to be very high, as we can use it ourselves. In production, dilute acids are needed (sulfuric acid, salt acids, *AO acids are all acceptable). Why do many companies that produce sulfuric acid by burning sulfur require such high purity for sulfur?
Yes, different equipment has different requirements for sulfur
Of course, acid can be produced; specific figures can be provided to calculate the investment costs, and if it’s cost-effective, the project can be carried out.
Are there any relevant cases or materials for me to study*?
Can that waste with a sulfur content of 40% be used as well? Are there any companies with relevant design examples? ? Please give me some recommendations!
Hehe, generally, the production of sulfuric acid from sulfur requires a very high purity level for the sulfur, while it’s much less stringent for acid produced from minerals. Of course, it also depends on what impurities are present in the sulfur; if those impurities consume all the oxygen during combustion or introduce other harmful impurities into the system, then it certainly won’t work
There is a difference between sulfur-based acid production and acid production from other sulfur-containing wastes; that is, the raw materials used for acid production are different, and accordingly different processes must be employed
Check for any substances that are toxic to the catalyst
It can be mixed into low-grade pyrite for use
Where are you from? Is the quantity large? What about the quality and price?

It analyzes the sulfur content in sulfur, as well as impurities and heavy metal components and their concentrations; a low sulfur content is not economical, as it results in no output. Impurities are difficult to handle. Heavy metal components are detrimental to the catalyst and are difficult to handle once they end up in the finished product.
