  • Publication number: 20240286898
    Abstract: A sulfuric acid generating system can include: a primary burn chamber; an exhaust pipe extending from the burn chamber at a first end to an opposite second end; a secondary burn chamber located between the first end and second end; and a primary venturi pump having a gas inlet coupled to an outlet at the second end of the exhaust pipe and having an aqueous media inlet and having a fluid outlet. A method of producing sulfurous acid can include: providing sulfur to the primary burn chamber; burning a first portion of the sulfur in the primary burn chamber to form a first portion of sulfur dioxide; burning a second portion of the sulfur in the secondary burn chamber to form a second portion of sulfur dioxide; and mixing the first portion and second portion of sulfur dioxide with an aqueous composition so as to produce aqueous sulfurous acid.

  • Publication number: 20240246880
    Abstract: A method of generating organic fertilizer material may include generating biologically produced sulfuric acid by passing an aqueous solution including sulfur over a material that may include sulfur oxidizing microorganisms. The operations may further include, recirculating the aqueous solution over the material until an amount of biologically produced sulfuric acid in the aqueous solution may reach a predefined threshold. The operations may further include extracting the biologically produced sulfuric acid from the aqueous solution. Further, the operations may include generating the organic fertilizer material using the extracted biologically produced sulfuric acid and an organic feedstock.
