Sulphur is a yellow, non-metallic element known for its wide industrial versatility. In granular or powdered form, it is a vital raw material in the production of fertilizers, sulphuric acid, rubber vulcanization agents, and pesticides. It also plays a crucial role in metal refining, explosives, and pharmaceuticals. Elemental sulphur is non-toxic but flammable in fine powder form. It is typically used in agriculture to improve soil nutrition and combat fungal diseases, making it essential in both chemical and agro-based industries.
