[Sulphuric acid](https://www.materialinsights.org/chemicals/sulphuric_acid/) (chemical) and [Uranium](https://www.materialinsights.org/energy/uranium/) (energy): 1 relationship.

## How they are linked

### 1. Price link: leaching input

*Cost and price · Weak · Both ways*

In-situ leach mining, used for most of Kazakhstan's output, dissolves uranium underground with sulphuric acid, and acid shortages there have cut production. The US acid index shows no link (-0.07 monthly), because acid matters through supply disruptions, not cost pass-through.
