Description

It is a chemical element with the symbol (S) and atomic number 16. It is abundant, multivalent, and Non–Metallic. Under normal conditions, it’s atoms form cyclic Octatomic Molecules with a chemical formula (S8). Sulfur has four types (1) Granular (2) Pastille (3) Lump & (4) Powder.  Elemental Sulfur is a bright yellow, Crystalline solid at room temperature. It is also a vital nutrient for crops, animals and people. Over half of elemental sulfur production is traded internationally. China is the world’s largest importer, followed by Morocco and the United States. Canada is the largest exporter, followed by Iran, Russia and Saudi Arabia. Well over half of global sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) production comes from burning elemental sulfur at points of consumption, with most of the remainder produced at non–ferrous metals smelters and pyrites mines. East Asia, led by China, is the largest overall acid producer, stemming largely from rapid growth. It is followed by North America, Africa, and Latin America. Practically all traded acid is from smelters. Western Europe is the largest acid trading region, followed by East Asia and North America.
