Sulfur in East Recently sulfur production (sour gas) in the Middle East has been improving and strengthening. Several new mega-scale sour gas plants have started to work in the Middle East and several projects are underway, making the region take over from North America and becoming well-known as the first sulfur producer area worldwide! Saudi…
Over time, the agricultural industry is realizing more and more about the positive effect of sulphur as a fertilizer nutrient in itself. Usually, plants need about a tenth as much sulphur as nitrogen, but sulphur deficiencies limit plant growth as certainly and severely as nitrogen deficiencies do. Reduced yield is the result of sulphur fertilizer…
Sulfur with the symbol of S and atomic number of 16 is a chemical, abundant, multivalent, and nonmetallic element. Sulfur is mainly used to produce sulfuric acid and the major application of sulfuric acid is to make chemical fertilizers. Sulfur is also applied in production of rubber, paper, sugar, detergent, pigment, plastic, drugs, soap and…
The danger of crop failure and even famine in Asian countries has become very important during last three decades. An increase in chemical fertilizer use, more inspection of weeds, insects and diseases and optimum utilization of soil moisture are paid more attention in order to increase the production of cereal crops, mostly wheat, rice and…
Sulfur (S), also known as sulphur, is a nonmetallic chemical element belonging to the oxygen group. Pure sulfur is a tasteless, odorless, brittle solid subject which is pale yellow in color. It is a poor conductor of electricity and insoluble in water. Sulfur reacts with all metals except gold and platinum and forms sulfides. Moreover…
Fertilizers supply three main nutrients for the plants: NPK. Nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K) are three primary required nutrients for the crops. Nitrogen (N): Nitrogen starts vegetative growth. Phosphorous (P): Phosphorous helps to grow roots and increase flowering. Potassium (K): Potassium can improve resistance to any shock including extremely high temperature, insect attacks…
Global sulfur’s output and export have been on the rise from the previous centuries, attracting many other nations to invest on sulfur production. Researches demonstrate that sulfur production will improve significantly in the future and sulfur will rank as the superior import and export product worldwide. Sulfur production in Middle East has been improving and…
Mostly sulphur fertilizer was neglected in the past agricultural industry while at the present time it is well known as a fundamental and substantial nutrient that is as significant as urea fertilizer for plants. Today sulphur is known as the second most necessary nutrient for the plants after nitrogen by many agronomists. In fact sulphur…
At the present time, sulfuric acid (alternative spelling sulphuric acid) is one of the most highly consumed chemicals globally but it was probably not recognized before the 16th century. First, sulfuric acid was invented by Johann Van Helmont (c.1600) through destructive distillation of green vitriol (ferrous sulfate) and by burning sulfur. The leading major industrial…
It is more than one decade that Amoot Iranian Trading Company has been providing urea fertilizer for international buyers. Urea fertilizer is usually used in a dry and granular form and is the most welcomed nitrogen fertilizer globally as it has the highest amount of nitrogen (46%) in comparison to other popular nitrogen sources. Due…
