This is a summary of an industrial process for recycling sulfuric acid which I found somewhere on the internet:
Concentration-Sulfuric acid is heated at 100C at normal atmospheric pressure until all moisture (water) is vaporized and condensed seperately. When the concentration reaches < 98% thick white fumes appear.
Purification-The concentrated impure acid is then distilled at 340C at normal atmospheric pressure. The result should be < 98% pure sulfuric acid. During both procedures an oil bath is used to prevent steam explosions.
A. Are these procedures correct?
B. If yes, what details should I insist on when operating such a procedure?
Thank you.
