Thanks Alot from Laska Paul !
I believe the type of acid used in these terrible attacks is that as used in motor vehicles lead/acid batteries, sulfuric acid, which burns the skin on contact. This acid was sold to anyone over the counter until 2018 here in the UK, when the law was changed and it is no longer sold that way. A special licence is now required to purchase the product, brought in specifically with the goal of reducing acid attacks in the UK.
I believe this attack is called causing 'Grievous Bodily Harm' here in the UK. Even with the threat of imprisonment and restricted access to acid, these attacks still take place, there seems to be no easy answer. I found the comment below on the internet.
"The most serious offence of violence is Section 18 grievous bodily harm and can also be known as wounding with intent. This offence is indictable only, which means it can only be dealt with in the Crown Court. The maximum sentence is life imprisonment."
Perhaps an "Automatic Life Sentence in Prison" is needed, and more awareness of the general public of the length of prison sentence, may deter and reduce these dreadful attacks.
