An important raw material for the industrial production of sulphuric acid is pyrite, FeS 2 . Roasting pyrite in lye, depending on the availability of oxygen, produces Fe2 O 3 or Fe3 O 4 and sulphur dioxide. The sulphur dioxide formed is purified, mixed with air and passed over a vanadium pentoxide catalyst at about 450 °C to form sulphur trioxide. Sulphur trioxide reacts with water to form sulphuric acid. What volume of concentrated sulfuric acid (98 mass %, ρ = 1.84 g/mL) can be produced from 1000 kg of pyrite if the yield in the process is 97%? want to know if I have done the right thing before I send it to Andra:) had fx but she wants me to take a closer look at the sample again.
