Contact Process - Part 1
Introduction
Contact process is an industrial method involving reversible reactions for manufacturing Sulphuric acid. It comprises 3 primary steps.
Step 1
Sulphur is combusted with oxygen to form sulphur dioxide. It's equation is :
S8 + 8O2 = 8SO2
The raw material needed for the contact process are sulphur, air, and water. Sulphur can be mined in various parts of the world, but large quantities are obtained from removing the impurities from fossil fuels (the process is known as desulphurisation)
