Abstract
The presented chapter deals with technological aspects concerning industrial production of major inorganic chemicals such as sulfuric, nitric and phosphorous acids. The idea was to highlight the main assumptions related to their fabrication as well as to point out novel aspects and perspectives concerning their industry. The main attention will be paid to raw materials and their transformation in order to obtain indirect precursors of inorganic acids – acid anhydrides. Characteristics of the individual stages of synthesis, with a special regard to the process conditions will be also of key importance. The environmental impact of this particular technology will be raised and discussed. Finally, the review over recently published scientific papers, concerning innovative solutions in inorganic acids production, will be performed.
