The production of SO2 and sulphuric acid remains a pertinent topic in the Southern African mining and metallurgical industry, especially in view of the strong demand for, and fluctuating prices of, vital base metals such as cobalt and copper.
The emergence of more electric cars, new rare earths projects, platinum group metals developments and a resurgent uranium price - which are all linked to the rapidly growing global energy decarbonisation initiatives, will add further regional complexity to the supply and demand for sulphuric acid as well as a need to embrace technology advancements.
New sulphuric acid plants are being built, comprising both smelters and sulphur burners, as the demand for metals increases. However, these projects take time to plan and construct, and in the interim sulphuric acid is being sourced from far afield, sometimes more than 2000 km away from the place that it is required. The need for sulphuric acid 'sinks' such as phosphate fertilizer plants is also becoming apparent.
All of the above factors create both opportunities, issues and supply chain challenges. To ensure that you stay abreast of developments in the industry, the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy invites you to participate in a conference on the production, safe operation, utilization and safe transportation of sulphuric acid. Topics will also cover SO2 abatement in metallurgical and other processes, catalyst technology advancements, as well as global markets for sulphur, acid and metals, to be held in May 2025 in Stellenbosch, just outside Cape Town.
