Sulfuric Acid production - The Frasch Process
Sulfuric acid is a very important industrial chemical as established above. To produce sulfuric acid in the quantities we do in industry we require the extraction of sulfur from deposits found in the earth.
1. Where is sulfur found?
2. What are the physical and chemical properties of sulfur?
3. What is the Frasch process and how does it work?
4. What industrial processes is sulfur needed for?
5. How does the Frasch process utilise the properties of sulfur?
6. How pure is the product from the Frasch process? How efficient is the process?
