Sulfuric acid has a wide range of applications including [[drain cleaner|domestic acidic drain cleaner]],<ref name="dc"/> [[electrolyte]] in [[lead–acid battery|lead-acid batteries]] and various [[cleaning agent]]s. It is also a central substance in the [[chemical industry]]. Principal uses include [[mineral processing]], [[fertilizer]] manufacturing, [[Oil refinery|oil refining]], [[wastewater processing]], and [[chemical synthesis]]. It is widely produced with different methods, such as [[contact process]], [[wet sulfuric acid process]] and some other methods.
