What Is Sulfur Used For?
Sulfur is primarily used to produce Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4), a precursor for many other manufacturing processes and fertilizer production. It is used to manufacture cellophane, batteries, as a vulcanizing agent for rubber, as a bleaching agent in paper production, and is a common element in pharmaceutical production. It is also an elemental macronutrient for all living organisms.
Ongoing research on Lithium-Sulfur battery technology may be a game changer in significantly increasing the energy storage density of rechargeable batteries.
