Sectional view of Gay-Lussac's lead chambers and absorption towers, 1870. These were for the large-scale production of sulphuric acid also known as Oil of Vitriol or H2SO4, one of the most important industrial chemicals. Invented in 1827, Gay-Lussac's (1778-1850) method only came into use after the invention by John Glover (1817-1902) of the denigrating tower (E) some thirty years later. From "Les Merveilles de l'Industrie" by Louis Figuier. (Paris, c1870). Engraving
