Granular and Lump

Lump Sulphur

In literature the term "lump" refers to an undefined shape that can evoke various interpretations. In the context of sulphur production the recovery process at refineries results in sulphur being formed into different shapes each with unique characteristics. Lump sulphur is one of these shapes representing the initial raw formation of recovered sulphur. While it shares the same high purity levels as other sulphur shapes lump sulphur is distinguished by its rough and unrefined appearance. This form is often utilized in various industrial applications highlighting its significance despite its less polished presentation compared to other sulphur forms.

Granular Sulphur

Granular sulphur consists of small yellow particles that quickly disperse or break down in various types of soil enhancing its effectiveness as a soil amendment. Its physical form is solid and as expected it has a distinct sulphuric odor that can be easily recognized. The material is soft and easily crumbles under pressure making it simple to apply in agricultural settings. Notably it is insoluble in water which means it does not dissolve in wet conditions; however it does dissolve in certain organic solvents such as carbon disulfide. This unique combination of properties makes granular sulphur a valuable resource for improving soil health and fertility.
