A transparent, oily liquid, formula H2SO4, that is a strong acid with very many industrial applications
see sulphuric acid. A highly corrosive, dense, oily liquid, H, colorless to dark brown depending on its purity and used to manufacture a wide variety of chemicals and materials including fertilizers, paints, detergents, and explosives. Also called oil of vitriol, vitriol. the American spelling of sulphuric acid. or oil of vitriol Dense, colourless, oily, corrosive liquid inorganic compound (H2SO4). A very strong acid, it forms ions of hydrogen or hydronium (H^+ or H3O^+), hydrogen sulfate (HSO4^-), and sulfate (SO4^2-). It is also an oxidizing (see oxidation-reduction) and dehydrating agent and chars many organic materials. It is one of the most important industrial chemicals, used in various concentrations in manufacturing fertilizers, pigments, dyes, drugs, explosives, detergents, and inorganic salts and acids, in petroleum refining and metallurgical processes, and as the acid in lead-acid storage batteries. It is made industrially by dissolving sulfur trioxide (SO3) in water, sometimes beyond the saturation point to make oleum (fuming sulfuric acid), used to make certain organic chemicals
vitriol: (H2SO4) a highly corrosive acid made from sulfur dioxide; widely used in the chemical industry
- A liquid used in the purification of petroleum Stakeholders - People that affect or are affected by company operations (including, but not limited to, customers, shareholders, management, employees, suppliers, local communities, advocacy groups and government)
This can severely burn the skin and eyes Repeated long-term exposure can cause bronchitis, shortness of breath and perhaps emphysema
A heavy, corrosive, oily, dibasic strong acid H2SO4 that is colorless when pure; it is a vigorous oxidizing and dehydrating agent
A heavy corrosive oily dibasic strong acid H2SO4 that is colorless when pure and is a vigorous oxidizing and dehydrating agent
A clear, colorless to brownish, dense, oily, corrosive, water-miscible liquid, usually produced from sulfur dioxide Used chiefly in the manufacture of fertilizers, chemicals, explosives and dyestuffs and in petroleum refining (H2SO4)
Used to manufacture fertilizer, chemicals, plastics, explosives, and petroleum Acute exposure causes severe irritation of the respiratory tract, eyes, and skin Chronic exposure may cause tracheobronchitis, conjunctivitis, and gastritis In one study, sulfuric acid has been associated with respiratory cancer in workers at a petroleum refinery
