In the process of wet sulfuric acid production, after the sulfur-containing waste liquid and waste gas are produced into a gas containing sulfur dioxide, there is no need to wash and dry it, and the sulfur dioxide is converted into sulfur trioxide, and the sulfur trioxide and water vapor are combined to form gaseous sulfuric acid, which is then condensed into liquid sulfuric acid. The process of wet acid production is relatively short, and the utilization rate of heat and sulfur is relatively high, but the wet acid production process also has disadvantages, and the recovery rate of sulfur elements is not high enough.
