| dc.description.abstract | Sulphuric acid is a backbone of chemical industry, agriculture and energy sectors. Tanzania has potential sources of producing its own sulphuric acid. The three most common methods: contact process, wet process and lead chamber process of producing sulphuric acid are reviewed. A modified lead chamber method can be a preferred method of producing the mineral acid by using local available raw materials according to Tanzania environment. Among of raw materials, pyrites from Samena area in Geita Region, Tanzania are the most potential, although there are also other sources from operating gold mines. Production of sulphuric acid in Tanzania could make a meaningful contribution to country economy. | en_US |
