Granular Sulphur
S — 99.8% min
Recovered elemental sulphur, formed into granules or pastilles for handling. The overwhelming majority goes into sulphuric acid manufacture, which in turn goes into phosphate fertilizer — closing a loop that runs through this catalogue.
A smaller share is applied directly to soil, where bacteria oxidise it to sulphate over weeks. That slow release is the point: it suits autumn application ahead of a spring requirement.
