Sulfur is a non-metallic element with bright yellow color and solid crystalline appearance at room temperature. It is the fifth most common on earth and the tenth most common in the Universe. It is an essential element but in the form of metal sulfides or organosulfur compounds. Sulfur is used in the black rubber vulcanization, as a fungicide, and in black gunpowder in producing sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, pesticides, herbicides, and silver polish. Sulfur in the form of mercaptant is added to natural gas supplies because of its distinctive smell so that gas leaks can be recognized easily. Other uses are in the production of silver polish, pesticides, and herbicides. Sulfites are used as preservatives for many foodstuffs and to bleach paper. Sulfate derivatives are employed for many surfactants and detergents.
Market Dynamics
Sulfur demand will see continuing growth due to the growing production of sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, pesticides, herbicides, and petroleum products. More than 90% of the sulfur is employed for the production of sulfuric acid. Growing energy demand and rising demand for sulfur as raw material and catalyst in the chemical industry drive the global sulfur demand. Sulfur plays an essential role in the agriculture industry. Sulfur is a crucial element for crop yield and growth. A significant amount of sulfur in sulfuric acid is consumed for manufacturing fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides. Expanding global population, shrinking arable land, and increased insects and fungus attack on crops has caused increased use of fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides. Key players are investing to extend their production facilities to meet growing global demand. Several Middle East countries are adding sulfur production capacities to meet their local market, which is coming from petroleum refining and processing industries. However, sulfur demand is being affected by reduced natural gas processing, a shift from sour to slightly sweet crude, depletion of specific gas fields, and changes in need for some petroleum fuel.
