Abstract :

 The term SPENT ACID strikes a chord with most of the people associated to any form of chemical industries. A compilation on the problem of the generation of spent acid, mainly in the processes involving the 

use of oleum as a sulphonating agent is represented. The causes and the various methods of treating and curbing the 
spent acid so formed have been analyzed. On the basis of certain experiments conducted and literature surveys carried 
out, replacing the sulphonating agent from OLEUM to SO3 was zeroed in as the most appropriate solution. This paper is 
inclusive of the process design data of the proposed semi batch reactor for the sulphonation process involving sparging 
of the Sulfur trioxide gas in the slurry of the reactant material.
