Sulfur is a petrochemical raw material that is used in various industries including steel production. Other uses of sulfur include gunpowder production, rubber welding, sulfuric acid production, and fungicides.
Sulfur is a non-metallic element that is in crystalline form and exists in the framework of stable isotopes. It is used as a chemical agent or fungicide and in rubber vulcanization. Sulfur is deposited in volcanic vents.
Sulfur is also found in sedimentary rocks, especially gypsum and limestone, along with salt domes. Native sulfur is the main source of sulfur for the sulfuric acid industry, followed by sour gas (natural gas containing hydrogen sulfide) and pyrite.
There are different types of sulfur that are widely used in agriculture and are divided into mineral, chemical, liquid, powder, and bentonite sulfur. When choosing the type, you should pay attention to solubility, soil type, and product type. Also, if necessary, you can remove sulfur from surfaces with solvents such as isopropyl alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or a solution of water and dishwashing liquid.
