Sulfuric acid and regeneration services

Sulfuric acid is one of the most widely used chemical products, applied in a large range of industrial applications.

Rhodia produces and regenerates sulfuric acid for oil refiners and other manufacturers of chemical products.

Sulfuric acid is used as a catalyst for refining and for producing alkylate, an essential component of high-octane gasoline.

During the production of alkylate, sulfuric acid gathers impurities that reduce its catalytic properties. Once the catalysis process has been completed, the used acid is transported to Rhodia sites, where the impurities are removed. The purified acid is then returned to clients to be re-used.

Market presence

Sulfuric acid is the chemical most widely used in industry. Its many applications and end markets include unleaded gasoline, automobile batteries, paper bleaching, sugar bleaching, water treatment, sulfonation agents, cellulose fibers, fertilizers, steel manufacturing, coloring agents, amino acid intermediates, and the regeneration of ion exchange resins.
