Les procédés au bisulfite sont nombreux. On les classe suivant la base employée, c'est-à-dire le cation (calcium, sodium, magnésium, ammonium) associé à l'anion sulfite, et suivant le degré d'acidité de la liqueur. [...] Procédés au bisulfite acide ou procédés au sulfite acide («acid sulphite process, acid bisulphite process») : la liqueur bisulfitique est rendue très acide par la présence d'un grand excès de SO2 en solution; pH 1 à 2. Bases : calcium, magnésium, ammonium. 2, record 4, French, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20au%20bisulfite%20acide
