Tetraoxosulphate(VI) acid, other known as sulphuric acid has found several uses in the industries such as chemical, iron and steel and petrochemical. Below is a list of some of its uses
(i) Tetraoxosulphate(VI) acid is used for making cellulose film, artificial and natural fabrics and plastics.
(ii) Tetraoxosulphate(VI) acid is used to remove waxes, gums and several other dark coloring compounds during petroleum refining.
iii)Tetraoxosulphate(VI) acid is used as an electrolyte in lead accumulators and batteries. It is also used as an electrolyte in the refining and purification of metals by electrolysis.
(iv) This acid has found use as an acidifier in some industrial processes where a mineral acid is needed because it is relatively cheaper compared to other mineral acids.
(vi) Tetraoxosulphate(VI) acid is used in the purification of crude oil and in the manufacture of artificial silk.
(vii) Tetraoxosulphate(VI) acid is used in the manufacture of fertilizers such as calcium hydrogentetraoxosulphate(V) and ammonium tetraoxosulphate(VI)
(viii) This acid is used as a drying agent for very many gases except the alkaline gases such as ammonia and reducing gases such as hydrogen sulphide. Teraoxosulphate(VI) acid is also used in desiccators as drying agents.
(ix) Tetraoxosulphate(VI) acid is used in the manufacture of pigments such as barium tetraoxosulphate(VI) and titanium(IV) oxide that are chemical component of paints and dyes.
