Sulfuric Acid

Parameter Table

Product Description

Sulfuric acid has a wide range of applications in industry and laboratories, including:

Battery Manufacturing: Sulfuric acid is used as the electrolyte in lead-acid batteries. 

Chemical Processing: Sulfuric acid is an important reactant and catalyst in many chemical processing processes and plays a key role in synthetic chemistry.

Metal Treatment: Sulfuric acid can be used to clean, degrease and pickle metal surfaces to remove oxides and other contaminants.

Corrosion Control: Sulfuric acid can be used as a corrosion control agent in pipes and equipment to protect metal components from corrosion.

Petroleum Industry: In the oil refining process, sulfuric acid is used to catalyze alkylation reactions.

Laboratory uses: Sulfuric acid is often used in chemical experiments in laboratories, especially in acid-base neutralization reactions and organic synthesis. In any of these applications, safe operating procedures need to be followed closely when working with sulfuric acid because it is a strong acid and can cause severe burns.

Sulfuric acid is commonly used as a cleaning agent and etchant during chip manufacturing. Specifically, sulfuric acid can be used in the following ways:

Cleaning: Sulfuric acid can be used to clean the chip surface to remove deposits and dirt to ensure the surface is clean and ready for the next step of processing.

Etching: In some steps of chip manufacturing, an etchant is used to remove material from specific areas. For example, the surface of a silicon wafer can be etched with sulfuric acid to form the structure of the chip.

When performing these operations, safe operating procedures must be strictly followed because sulfuric acid is a strong acid that is corrosive and toxic. Workers must wear appropriate protective equipment and operate under safe ventilation. In addition, waste sulfuric acid solutions also need to be properly disposed of to ensure the safety of the environment and personnel.

Sulfuric acid can also be used in chemical etching processes to help form desired circuits and patterns. The concentration and processing conditions of sulfuric acid need to be strictly controlled to prevent adverse effects on materials and equipment, and strict safety operating procedures need to be followed when using them to ensure the safety of workers and the environment.
