Sulphuric acid
We produce sulphuric acid and sulphur dioxide of the highest industrial quality.
The world’s most used chemical
Sulphuric acid is one of the most widely used chemicals in the world. It is a strongly corrosive, colorless, and viscous liquid with a variety of applications. It plays an important role in processes within industries such as fertilizers, pulp and paper production. For example, it can be used to lower the pH value in fertilizers or as a bleaching agent in paper manufacturing. Sulphuric acid can be produced in various ways. Boliden’s sulphuric acid is produced during the purification of gases from our smelting processes and has a very high climate performance.
High delivery reliability
Boliden is one of the leading producers of high-quality sulphuric acid in the smelting industry. Thanks to our excellent production capacity our smelters can guarantee very high delivery reliability. We produce sulphuric acid at the Rönnskär, Harjavalta, Kokkola, and Odda smelters. Additionally, we produce liquid sulphur dioxide of the same high quality, which can be used in disinfectants and preservatives, among other applications. Since 2023, we offer Low-Carbon Sulphuric Acid, a product with several times lower climate footprint than the industry average, read more here.

Our statement on our product CO2 footprint
The mining industry lacks a standardized measurement method for carbon dioxide emissions - we want to change that. We believe transparency is the only way to a sustainable and long-term mining and metals industry. We make the life-cycle assessments of our main metals from cradle to gate, without counting carbon credits and offsets. It improves our possibilities to see in which scope we need to make efforts to reduce our carbon dioxide footprint. In this way, we will achieve our vision of being the world's most climate-friendly and respected metal supplier in the world.
