Sulphuric acid production
Sulphuric acid production. Schematic diagram of the Contact Process to make sulphuric acid from sulphur. Sulphur (yellow) enters a roasting tower on a conveyor belt (far left). The air supply from bottom produces sulphur dioxide (orange), which is piped to the oxidising tower (centre). Catalytic oxidation (450 degrees Celsius and 1-2 atmospheres of pressure) occurs in the presence of vanadium pentoxide (red) to produce sulphur trioxide gas (yellow, more air supplied from bottom). This is then pumped into a tank of concentrated sulphuric acid (green, final stage, right). The sulphur trioxide dissolves in the sulphuric acid to form oleum (fuming sulphuric acid, dark green), which is diluted to form sulphuric acid (bottom right)

Discover the intricacies of chemical production with our Media Storehouse Poster Prints featuring the captivating image of "Sulphuric Acid Production" by Science Photo Library. This detailed schematic diagram illustrates the Contact Process, a critical method for producing sulphuric acid from sulphur. Witness the yellow sulphur's journey through a roasting tower, igniting your curiosity and inspiring scientific exploration. Enhance your laboratory, classroom, or office space with this visually engaging and educational poster print.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Product Size is 59.4cm x 42cm (23.4" x 16.5")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with landscape (horizontal) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of sulphuric acid production. The schematic diagram provides a comprehensive overview of the Contact Process, which is employed to convert sulphur into this essential chemical compound. Beginning on the far left, we witness yellow sulphur entering a roasting tower via a conveyor belt. The air supply from the bottom initiates the formation of orange-coloured sulphur dioxide, which is then piped to the oxidising tower located at the center of this industrial setup. Here, catalytic oxidation takes place under specific conditions: 450 degrees Celsius and 1-2 atmospheres of pressure. This reaction occurs in the presence of red vanadium pentoxide, resulting in the production of yellow sulphur trioxide gas. Moving towards completion, this gaseous substance is pumped into a tank filled with concentrated green sulphuric acid - representing its final stage on our journey through this manufacturing process. As it enters contact with sulphuric acid within this tank, oleum (fuming sulphuric acid) forms and appears as dark green liquid. To achieve its desired concentration level for various applications, oleum undergoes dilution to ultimately become pure and potent sulphuric acid - depicted in our image's bottom right corner. This detailed illustration beautifully captures every step involved in producing one of industry's most vital chemicals. It serves as an excellent visual aid for those interested in understanding and appreciating both technological advancements and chemical reactions that drive modern industrial processes.
