Talk:Lead chamber process

What exactly is the role of the lead metal in this process? Mere containment? Or is it a catalyst? The article isn't clear about that. -- 92.230.211.142 (talk) 20:05, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

:The original industrial production chambers were made from wood with a sheet lead lining. The lead serves no purpose other than to contain the dilute sulfuric acid and nitrosyl compounds. Later versions of the process used brick lined chambers with active cooling. Norm Reitzel (talk) 14:45, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

This article refers to "chamber acid". Never heard of this. What molecules make up chamber acid? Chamberium? Containum? Flaskerin? Beakerinole?

Oh, a wiki search says this is "sulfuric acid". So why not just call it that in this article rather than being unnecessarily obscure?
