Abstract: | Synthetic sulfuric acid is used in a wide range of applications in fine chemical industry. Despite an already performed optimization of input amounts, used sulfuric acid is still a quantitatively important waste by-product. As a result, different utilization technologies for used sulfuric acid exist: - production of gypsum
- thermal reductive cracking
- thermal cracking and oxidation
This makes an LCA study of this waste by-product quite interesting. In this paper: ? the starting point for a comparative LCA of the above mentioned utilization technologies at a concrete situation is explained, in a work of Ciba-Geigy Corp. ? a short summary of the comparative LCA is presented ? lessons learned from performing the LCA and using it in a decision process are described. |
