Sulfuric acid in Russia is sold mainly through domestic trade. For the period from 2007 to 2011. the share of sales in the volume of demand varied from 99.7% in 2007 to 97% in 2011. Over the same period, the share of exports ranged from 0.3% in 2007 to 3% in 2011. For the period from 2007 to 2011 . natural volume of sales of sulfuric acid in Russia increased by more than 7%: from 9.5 to 10.2 million tons. Reduction in sales compared to previous years was observed in 2008 and 2009. - by 5 and 6% respectively.
The decrease in sales of these products in the crisis years is explained, first of all, by a decrease in demand for it from key consumers - manufacturers mineral fertilizers, consuming about 60% of the produced sulfuric acid. The collapse of the largest world markets in 2008-2009. entailed, among other things, a reduction in the consumption of mineral fertilizers. In 2010-2011, the situation on the domestic sulfuric acid market began to improve: sales in 2011 exceeded the level of 2009 by 20%.
Volumes of sulfuric acid production in Russia in 2010 exceeded 10 million tons (in terms of monohydrate), which is 13% higher than in 2009. About 70% of sulfuric acid is produced by chemical industry enterprises. Producers of mineral fertilizers remain the main consumers of Russian sulfuric acid. Among the largest producers of sulfuric acid in Russia, it should be noted OJSC Ammophos, LLC Balakovo Mineral Fertilizers, LLC PG Phosphorite, OJSC Sredneuralsky Copper Smelter, OJSC Voskresensk Mineral Fertilizers.
Last year, many producers managed to significantly increase their production of sulfuric acid:
- - Sredneuralsky Copper Smelting Plant, thanks to the commissioning of the main facilities for the reconstruction of the chemical and metallurgical complex, increased acid production from 454 thousand tons to 755 thousand tons;
- - Ammofos produced 2.5 million tons of sulfuric acid in 2010, which is 380 thousand tons more than in 2009, 35 thousand tons of commercial sulfuric acid were shipped to consumers;
- - Voskresensk Mineral Fertilizers produced 828 thousand tons, which made it possible to increase the company's share in the Russian production volume to 8%. The plant's capacity is 1.1 million tons per year, the shipment of commercial sulfuric acid is 57 thousand tons;
- - Balakovo Mineral Fertilizers, which is part of the Phosagro holding, produced 1.48 million tons of sulfuric acid in 2010. Phosphorit Industrial Group, which is part of EuroChem, is gradually completing a project to upgrade equipment for the production of sulfuric and extractive phosphoric acids, as a result of the project, the production capacity of sulfuric acid will increase from 720 thousand tons to 1 million tons (in monohydrate).
However, the growth in the production of sulfuric acid in the Russian Federation will not lead to a significant expansion of the domestic sulfur market. Due to the reduction in global demand for sulfur, the imbalance between production and consumption, Russian enterprises should more actively look for other areas of application for sulfur and sulfuric acid. Among the new areas of application for these products, we can consider the production of sulfur asphalt and sulfur concrete using sulfur.
According to BusinesStat estimates, in 2012-2016, sales of sulfuric acid on the Russian market will grow by an average of 5% per year. In 2016, sales will reach 13 million tons. Although sulfuric acid has found wide application in many industries, in the coming years, the driving force behind the development Russian market the production of mineral fertilizers, primarily phosphate fertilizers (ammophos, diammonium phosphate, etc.), will remain.
A powerful means of increasing the productivity of sulfuric acid production is to increase the concentration of sulfur dioxide. Highly concentrated gases containing up to 80% SO 2 have already begun to be obtained in the production of non-ferrous metals from their sulfide ores using technical oxygen.
The production of highly concentrated sulfur dioxide makes it possible to create energy-technological cyclic production of sulfuric acid from sulfur and pyrites. Sulfur dioxide obtained using technical oxygen is oxidized by 90% in a contact apparatus with a "fluidized bed" of the catalyst. When SO 3 is absorbed, highly concentrated oleum and monohydrate are obtained. The gas after absorption is returned to the contact. In the reactor, the overall conversion is 99.995%. To remove the nitrogen accumulated as a result of repeated recycle, part of the gas after absorption is passed through a small-sized sulfuric acid plant, from which nitrogen is released into the atmosphere. The intensity of operation of a cyclic system operating at a pressure of about 1 MPa, using oxygen, is ten times higher than the intensity of conventional systems. Losses of sulfur with exhaust gases and, accordingly, emissions of SO 2 and SO 3 in environment also reduced tenfold.
The schemes provide for the generation of water vapor (4 MPa) due to the heat of the combustion gases, which can be used both in the installation itself to compensate for the energy costs for the operation of compressors and pumps, and in other workshops of the plant. The heat of sulfur dioxide gases after passing through the next catalytic layer can be used to preheat the reagents at the inlet to the contact apparatus. The heat of sorption is used for domestic needs.
The most important directions for the development of sulfuric acid production are:
- - an increase in the power of the equipment while simultaneously integrated automation production;
- - intensification of processes through the use of fluidized bed reactors (both at the stage of roasting and contact oxidation of SO 2), more active catalysts, increased pressures and the use of technical oxygen in the oxidation process;
- - development of energy technological schemes with the maximum use of the heat of exothermic reactions, including cyclic systems under pressure;
- - increasing the degree of conversion at all stages of production to reduce consumption coefficients for raw materials and materials and reduce harmful emissions;
- - utilization of harmful emissions from exhaust gases, as well as solid waste (calcine). For example, unwanted harmful impurities H 2 S and SO 2 from different streams can be combined and subjected to concentration in order to convert them into elemental sulfur.

Sulfuric acid industry in Russia. Sulfuric acid is produced from pyrites, other metal sulfides, or gases containing sulfur. About 0.3 tons of sulfur is consumed per ton of products. Sulfuric acid is one of the most important, basic substances in chemistry and is used in large quantities, especially by the industrialized countries of the world. The amount of sulfuric acid produced shows the level of development of the state. Its annual production in the world is about 130 million tons, of which 5 million tons are in Germany.
main feature sulfuric acid as a product that determines the geography of its production - low transportability over long distances.
In this regard, there are three main options for locating its enterprises:
1) at the consumer, in particular in the centers of production of phosphate fertilizers (Voskresensk, Perm, Berezniki);
2) in the centers of extraction of native sulfur (Samara) or its extraction from gas condensate (Astrakhan);
3) in metallurgical centers - on the basis of the disposal of sulfur dioxide waste gases from ferrous (Chelyabinsk, Nizhny Tagil) and non-ferrous (Revda, Karabash, etc.) metallurgy.
The largest volumes of sulfuric acid production are in the Vologda (Cherepovets), Moscow (Voskresensk), Leningrad, Saratov and Sverdlovsk regions (Table 1). In total, they provide 60% of its output in the country.

Soda industry in Russia. Soda is the technical name for sodium carbonates. Sodium bicarbonate - baking soda, normal carbonate - soda ash (used in the manufacture of glass), sodium hydroxide - caustic soda (used in the manufacture of detergents). The main demand in the market for caustic soda (production of detergents, pulping, etc.).
The main raw material for soda production is salt(through the solution of which ammonia and carbon dioxide are passed) and lime. For 1 ton finished products 1.5 tons of limestone, 5 m 3 of salt brine and a large number of fuel. In this regard, the optimal location for soda plants will be an area in which there are also large reserves of the listed types of mineral raw materials.
The only deposit of native soda in Russia is Mikhailovskoye (Altai Territory).
Before the revolution, there were only 2 soda production centers within the modern borders of Russia: Berezniki and Barnaul. Modern geography is wider (Table 1).
Sulfuric acid is a corrosive and toxic substance that has a high oxidation level (+6). The concentrated acid is odorless, colorless and is an oily substance. Sulfuric acid interacts with various metals, absorbs moisture from the air. Sulfuric acid is a strong oxidizing agent, due to which it is actively used in a wide variety of fields. The substance also forms esters, sulfates and hydrosulfates.
