For superficial injuries, washing (therapeutic irrigation) is important.Emergency treatments include protecting the airway, which might involve a tracheostomy.Further treatment will vary depending on the severity, but might include investigations to determine the extent of damage (bronchoscopy for the airways and endoscopy for the gastrointestinal tract), followed by treatments including ...
Sulfuric acid is a colorless oily liquid, and has a vapor pressure of <0.001 mmHg at 25 °C and 1 mmHg at 145.8 °C, [16] and 98% sulfuric acid has a vapor pressure of <1 mmHg at 40 °C. [ 17 ] In the solid state, sulfuric acid is a molecular solid that forms monoclinic crystals with nearly trigonal lattice parameters.
The use of acid-resistant gloves and face shield is recommended for safe handling; fume hoods are another effective control of such substances. [ 4 ] Water-reactive substances are classified as R2 under the UN classification system and as Hazard 4.3 by the United States Department of Transportation .
The sulfur is recovered as concentrated sulfuric acid and the nitrogen oxides are reduced to free nitrogen. The process is based on the well-known wet sulfuric acid process (WSA), a process for recovering sulfur from various process gasses in the form of commercial quality sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4).

Reacts with water in an unusual or dangerous manner (e.g., caesium, sodium, diborane, sulfuric acid). SA: Simple asphyxiant gas (specifically helium, nitrogen, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon). The SA symbol shall also be used for liquified carbon dioxide vapor withdrawal systems and where large quantities of dry ice are used in confined areas. [2]
Chemical safety includes all safety policies, procedures and practices designed to minimize the risk of exposure to potentially hazardous chemicals. This includes the risks of exposure to persons handling the chemicals, to the surrounding environment, and to the communities and ecosystems within that environment. [ 1 ]
The lead chamber process for sulfuric acid production was abandoned, partly because it could not produce sulfur trioxide or concentrated sulfuric acid directly due to corrosion of the lead, and absorption of NO 2 gas. Until this process was made obsolete by the contact process, oleum had to be obtained through indirect methods. Historically ...
Spent sulfuric acid is regenerated by thermal decomposition outside the battery limits of the sulfuric acid alkylation unit. This may be accomplished on the refinery site in sulfuric acid regeneration equipment operated by the refinery or in a commercial sulfuric acid regeneration plant which serves several refiners.
