In the manufacture of sulfuric acid via the Contact process, sulfur dioxide (SO₂) is the key gas used in the production of sulfuric acid. This gas is initially produced by burning sulfur or sulfur-containing ores in air. SO₂ is then further reacted with oxygen (O₂) in the presence of a catalyst (usually vanadium pentoxide, V₂O₅) to form sulfur trioxide (SO₃). This SO₃ is subsequently absorbed in concentrated sulfuric acid to form oleum, which is then diluted with water to produce the desired sulfuric acid.
