Abstract

Sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) is widely used in various industrial processes, including fertilizer production. However, its highly corrosive nature poses a significant challenge to the materials used for transport and storage, particularly metals and alloys. This review provides an overview of corrosion types in iron and nickel-based alloys, commonly employed for handling sulphuric acid. The paper discusses alloy selection based on their corrosion behavior in different H₂SO₄ concentrations, temperatures, and harsh conditions such as erosion-corrosion and presence of contaminants. Additionally, it highlights the use of inhibitors and polymeric coatings for corrosion protection. Finally, the paper outlines future research directions for corrosion protection of alloys in sulphuric acid environments.
