Disulfurous Acid Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Growing Used of Reducing Agents – Disulfurous acids are unstable and exist primarily in solution as sulfurous acid, which is involved in the bleaching process as a reducing agent.
- Advancements in the Production Process of Sulfuric Acid – One of the newest production technology, membrane technology enables sulfuric acid manufacturing cheaper and less harmful to the environment. Moreover, disulfurous acid is formed by reacting sulfuric acid with water and then with oxygen.
- Increasing Chemical Industry – Disulfurous acid is used as an intermediate in many chemical reactions. It can engage in redox processes or function as a titrant in a variety of chemical procedures.
Challenges
- Hazardous Nature of the Acid – It is a strong acid and can cause severe burns and corrosion when touched by bare skin. Furthermore, it can destroy tissues, and damage eyes, skin, and mucous membranes. It can also irritate the respiratory system causing difficulty in breathing, coughing, and throat irritation
- Disulfurous acid is unstable and never present in a free state
- Many people are allergic to food containing disulfurous acid
