The challenge as we see it
Sulfuric acid is a very strong inorganic acid with qualities that make it useful for almost all industries. Some specialty industries rely on higher strength acid reactions that cannot be produced from sulfuric acid. These higher strength reactions can only be performed using sulfur trioxide, chlorosulfonic acid and oleum, which are the strongest inorganic acids produced from sulfur. Safely manufacturing, using, storing, handling and transporting sulfuric acid and high-value sulfur derivatives can be challenging.

40 CFR 261.2(e) Materials that are not solid waste when recycled
Our regeneration solutions are recycling-related manufacturing processes that are not considered to be treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste and are not considered a solid waste because we use/reuse certain materials as ingredients in an industrial process to make a product.
