Cards (2)

  • What are the raw materials involved in the contact process?
    Sulfur
    Air
    Water
  • What are the stages of the contact process?
    Sulfur burns in the air to form sulfur dioxide gas
    Sulfur dioxide reacts with more oxygen to form sulfur trioxide (Reversible)
    Sulfur trioxide is dissolved in concentrated sulfuric acid to produce oleum
    The oleum is then diluted with water to produce sulfuric acid
