General	Prerov and chemistry. This connection has been developed since 1894 when ”The First Join-Stock Factory for Concentrated Fertilisers and Chemicals in Prerov” was established. The factory was supplying farmers with superphosphate and also producing sulphuric acid. Superphosphate was manufactured continuously nearly for a centenary, by 1993. Along with ilmenite, sulphuric acid is the second basic raw material used in titanium dioxide manufacture. It is manufactured at PRECHEZA a.s. from liquid sulphur in the S-1 sulphuric acid plant. This unit began production in 1962 with an annual capacity of 1000,000 tonnes of acid. Extensive reconstruction was carried out in 1989 and 2001 resulting in an increased annual capacity for 140,000 tonnes. Approximately 90% of sulphuric acid production is used during the manufacture of titanium dioxide, the surplus material being sold.
