molecule oleum pyrosulfuric acid			Industrial production of sulfuric acid requires that sulfur dioxide be further oxidized to give sulfur trioxide, which produces sulfuric acid when dissolved in water. Multistep reactions by Myers, John; Perkins, Sid / Science News Procter and Gamble's Alexandria plant in Pineville, Louisiana, converted from oleum to "just-in-time manufacturing" of sulfur trioxide by installing a sulfur burning unit. New chemical solutions by Harwood, Matt / Security Management It also produced negligible sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide conversion, less than 0.
