sulphuric acid | phosphoric acid | phospho gypsum | copper slag

Sulphuric acid
Birla Copper produces Sulphuric acid (also known as oil of vitriol, dipping acid) of IS 266-1993 technical grade. It has great affinity for water, making it strong dehydrating agent, it is a valuable electrolyte and a strong oxidizing agent.

Three sulphuric acid plants with a total capacity of 14, 70,000 tpa have been installed based on the DCDA process with the design by Monsanto Envirochem (USA). The off gases from the smelting furnace and the PS converter containing sulphur dioxide (SO2) are delivered to the gas cleaning section comprising two stages of reverse jet scrubbers. Cleaned gases from the final reverse jet scrubber are fed to two stage electrostatic precipitators to eliminate mist and residual dust particles from gases. Sulphur dioxide rich gases are further processed and converted into sulphuric acid of commercially acceptable quality. Substantial storage capacity and a 3.5-km long pipeline feed sulphuric acid to the vessel directly from the storage tank

The phosphoric acid plant
Phosphoric acid
The phosphoric acid plant is based on the Prayon MarkIV Dihydrate technology provided by SNC Lavalin (Belgium). The plant is designed to treat 285,000 tonnes of sulphuric acid and 300,000 tonnes of rock phosphates to produce 180,000 tonnes of merchant grade phosphoric acid (52 to 54 per cent) each year. The plant also has a fluorine recovery section, which produces about 5,100 tonnes of hydro fluosilicic acid (18 per cent) per year.
