Abstract
A system for producing aqueous sulphuric acid is provided, the system including a first heat exchanger configured to cool aqueous sulphuric for producing cooled aqueous sulphuric acid; a pre-cooling unit comprising an inlet or inlets for receiving the gas containing sulphur trioxide and the cooled aqueous sulphuric acid, an outlet for letting out aqueous sulphuric acid and the gas containing sulphur trioxide, and a first nozzle for spraying the cooled aqueous sulphuric acid onto the gas containing sulphur trioxide. The system further includes a condensation tower comprising a first inlet for receiving the cooled gas containing sulphur trioxide and aqueous sulphuric acid from the pre-cooling unit and means for circulating the aqueous sulphuric acid within the condensation tower by spraying. An associated method and pre-cooling unit suitable for cooling gas comprising sulphur trioxide from at least 400° C. to at most 150° C. are also provided.
