  2. Sicilian method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicilian_method

    In its most basic form the ores were piled in a mound and ignited. The semi-pure sulfur flowed down and the solidified mass was collected at a lower level. It was the only industrial method of recovering sulfur from elemental deposits until replaced by the Frasch process. [1] Most of the world's sulfur was obtained this way until the late 19th ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorio

    Factorio is a construction and management simulation game developed and published by Czech studio Wube Software. The game was announced via an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign in 2013 and released for Windows , macOS , and Linux on 14 August 2020 following an early access phase, which was made available on 25 February 2016.

  4. Frasch process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frasch_process

    Sulfur (m.p. 115 °C) melts and flows into the middle tube. Water pressure alone is unable to force the sulfur into the surface due to the molten sulfur's greater density, so hot air is introduced via the innermost tube to froth the sulfur, making it less dense, and pushing it to the surface. [1] The sulfur obtained can be very pure (99.7 - 99.8%).

  5. Contact process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_process

    The contact process is a method of producing sulfuric acid in the high concentrations needed for industrial processes. Platinum was originally used as the catalyst for this reaction; however, because it is susceptible to reacting with arsenic impurities in the sulfur feedstock, vanadium(V) oxide (V 2 O 5) has since been preferred.

  6. Lead chamber process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_chamber_process

    The lead chamber process was an industrial method used to produce sulfuric acid in large quantities. It has been largely supplanted by the contact process.. In 1746 in Birmingham, England, John Roebuck began producing sulfuric acid in lead-lined chambers, which were stronger and less expensive and could be made much larger than the glass containers that had been used previously.

  8. Wet sulfuric acid process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_sulfuric_acid_process

    The wet sulfuric acid process (WSA process) is a gas desulfurization process. After Danish company Haldor Topsoe introduced this technology in 1987, it has been recognized as a process for recovering sulfur from various process gases in the form of commercial quality sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) with the simultaneous production of high-pressure steam.
