Industrial data H2SO4 making

See Table 19.3 (end of this chapter) for industrial after H2SO4 making catalyst bed data. 

Figure 9.6 Double contact H2SO4 making flowsheet. The two absorption towers are notable. The left half of the flowsheet oxidizes most of the S02-in-feed-gas and makes the product SO3 into strengthened sulfiiric acid. It makes about 95% of the plant s new H2SO4. The right half of the flowsheet oxidizes almost all the remaining SO2 and makes its product SO3 into strengthened sulfuric acid. The final exit gas is very dilute in SO2 and SO3. Industrially, all the catalyst beds are in the same converter (Fig. 7.7). Table 23.2 gives industrial final H2SO4 making data.

Industrial final H2SO4 making (absorption) data are also provided (Tables 23.2-23.5).
