Now AFTER MANY YEARS' anticipation, the only book in

English covering this fundamentally important topic.
Twenty-four specialists provide thorough, up-to-date de
scriptions of the modern sulfur burning contact plant and
its modifications for other raw materials in this new mono
graph. It is the only current treatment of sulfuric acid
manufacture as practiced in the U.S. In addition, the
book presents significant information on present-day eco
nomics; industry trends; the contact and sludge acid
processes; waste acid reclaiming; handling, storing and
shipping raw materials; sulfur purification; equipment
and practices; concentrating acid; gas treatment; mini
mizing air pollution; health and safety measures; and
handling, storing and shipping. Special topics appearing
for the first time are cost comparisons of the contact pro
cess using different raw materials, the treatment of stack
effluents, and modern theory of the catalysis in contact
converters. The editors and authors cover every conceiv
able aspect of their subject from the viewpoint of long
and outstanding experience.
