How much does it cost to invest in a sulfuric acid plant with an annual production capacity of 10,000 tons?

Dear everyone, I’ve recently come across an environmental protection project that requires the processing of a certain raw material: it contains 10% sulfur and a metal sulfide, with a total sulfur content of 30% and an ash content of 60%. This material is quite expensive, so it needs to be recycled. May I ask how much investment is required for a 10,000 tons per year sulfuric acid production facility, what is the land area needed, and what is the workforce requirement? Which design institutes can do it? Thank you!
From an economic perspective, it would be better not to build new factories for this project; instead, the resources should be allocated to manufacturers that produce sulfuric acid from pyrite, or to those capable of handling them in a suitable manner
There are many manufacturers of sulfuric acid, but a production scale of 10,000 tons does not comply with industrial policies.
10,000 tons is likely to not be approved, as it does not comply with industrial policies; it would be more cost-effective to hand it over to a nearby facility that is capable of handling it
For environmental protection projects, there are no issues related to industrial policy
The production capacity is too low; it’s not cost-effective to build a project on one’s own
At this scale, it is possible to consider producing sulfites, which requires less investment and results in a higher added value for the product. Such as sodium sulfite, sodium metabisulfite.
The investment for this project is not large; the construction cost should be within 10 million. What’s unclear is how the profitability of its useful components is calculated. Pure sulfuric acid doesn’t generate much profit.
