Refined Sulfuric Acid

BASF UltraPure™ Series H2SO4-98.5% Refined Sulfuric Acid is a high-purity, low-metal-content grade meeting ASTM D1753 and ISO 9001 standards. Ideal for electronics etching, pharmaceutical synthesis, and battery electrolyte preparation, it features ultra-low arsenic (<0.1 ppm), chloride (<5 ppm), and particulate levels. Produced via double-contact catalytic oxidation with rigorous distillation purification. Packaged in HDPE drums or ISO tanks under inert atmosphere to ensure stability and consistency across critical industrial applications.

Features Of Refined Sulfuric Acid

  1. Ultra-high purity (>99.9% H₂SO₄) with minimal trace metals (e.g., Fe < 1 ppm, As < 0.1 ppm) for sensitive chemical synthesis.

  2. Consistent batch-to-batch quality certified via ASTM D2973 and ISO 9001-controlled manufacturing.

  3. Low volatility and stabilized formulation reducing fuming risk during storage and handling.

  4. Optimized for low chloride and nitrate impurities (< 5 ppm each), critical for electroplating and semiconductor cleaning.

  5. Supplied in corrosion-resistant HDPE or lined stainless-steel containers compliant with UN 1830 transport regulations.

Typical Applications Of Refined Sulfuric Acid

  1. Electrolyte preparation in high-precision copper and zinc electrowinning processes.

  2. Cleaning and passivation of stainless-steel components in pharmaceutical and biotech equipment.

  3. Catalyst regeneration in petrochemical refining units requiring ultra-low contaminant profiles.

  4. Reagent-grade acid for analytical chemistry (e.g., EPA Method 300.0, ASTM E2932).

  5. Feedstock in the production of high-purity titanium dioxide (TiO₂) pigments via the sulfate process.

Refined Sulfuric Acid – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for Refined Sulfuric Acid?

A: The CAS Number is 7664-93-9, corresponding to anhydrous sulfuric acid; our refined grade meets the same identity specification with enhanced purity controls.


Q2: Can Refined Sulfuric Acid be used directly in food-contact equipment cleaning?

A: Yes — when diluted to ≤1% w/w and thoroughly rinsed, it complies with FDA 21 CFR §173.350 for indirect food additive use; full documentation available upon request.


Q3: How does Refined Sulfuric Acid differ from Technical-Grade Sulfuric Acid in terms of metal ion migration risk?

A: Refined grade reduces leachable metal ions (e.g., Cr, Ni, Cu) by >95% versus technical grade, significantly lowering contamination risk in high-value catalysts and electronic materials processing.


Q4: Is this product certified under ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 / ISO 45001?

A: Yes — manufacturing facilities are dual-certified to ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018; full audit reports and CoC available under NDA.
