Granular sulphur is a form of sulphur that has been processed into small, uniform granules, making it easier to handle, transport, and apply. It is widely used in agriculture as a soil amendment to improve soil fertility and correct sulphur deficiencies in crops.
Uses:
Sulphur is an essential nutrient for plants, playing a key role in protein synthesis and enzyme function. Granular sulphur is also used in various industrial applications, such as the production of Sulphuric acid, rubber vulcanization, and in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Production:
It is typically produced by spraying molten sulphur into a granulator, where it cools and solidifies into granules.
