The invention provides a method for measuring the content of acid mist in 
sulfuric acid production 
tail gas. The measurement method comprises the steps of sampling, preparing a sample, measuring, drawing a 
standard curve and calculating a result. By means of sampling at a 
constant speed, acid mist in 
sulfuric acid production 
tail gas is absorbed by using a dilute alkali solution, 
sulfate ions in a sample solution react with 
barium chloride under a neutral condition to generate white precipitate of 
barium sulfate and form turbid liquid, and a 
hydrochloric acid solution is added into the sample solution, so that the influence of 
barium sulfite white precipitate generated by 
sulfur dioxide and 
barium chloride in the 
tail gas on the result can be effectively eliminated, and then the 
absorbance is determined. The 
sulfate ion concentration and the 
absorbance have a good 
linear relationship within a certain range, and the content of 
sulfate radicals in a sample is determined by setting a 
standard curve and comparing the measured 
absorbance of a sample solution with the 
standard curve. The measurement method is simple and convenient, low in cost and high in accuracy, used equipment is simple and easy to obtain, and application of small and medium-sized chemical enterprises is facilitated.
