Description and Uses

Sulfur belongs to a nonmetallic chemical element (pure product: yellow crystalline solid) under the symbol S. It can actively react with many other elements. It exists in various kinds of forms and compound such as sulfide and sulfate minerals which can be found everywhere around the universe and earth. It is also a key element for all life as the major component of amino acids, vitamins and many other cofactors. Sulfur has applications in various kinds of fields. For example, one of its biggest applications is for the production of sulfuric acid for sulfate and phosphate fertilizers. It is also used for the manufacturing of insecticides, fungicides, and bactericides. In pharmaceutical, it can be used for the manufacturing of many kinds of sulfur-containing antibiotics.

Sulfur is one of the four major commodities of the chemical industry. The other three arelimestone, coal, and salt. Most sulfur that is produced is used to manufacture sulfuric acid(H2SO4). Forty million tons are produced each year in the manufacture of fertilizers, lead-acidbatteries, gunpowder, desiccants (drying agent), matches, soaps, plastics, bleaching agents,rubber, road asphalt binders, insecticides, paint, dyes, medical ointment, and other pharmaceuticalproducts, among many, many other uses. Sulfur is essential to life.
