Application

Sulfur has many applications in free form and in combination, but its most use is for making chemical compounds and intermediate products in the industrial cycle. The most sulfur consumption in previous years was in agricultural industries and preparation of phosphatic fertilizers.
Sulfur is one of the components of gunpowder. Sulfur is also used for welding rubber. [3] Sulfur is used as a fungicide as well as disinfectant and fertilizer. Sulfur is also used to prepare sulfuric acid. [50][51] Sulfur is also used to make several The type of paper is used as a bleaching material and as an electrical insulator.
Sulfur compounds are highly toxic, for example, a small amount of hydrogen sulfide can alter the body’s metabolism, but larger amounts can quickly cause death by respiratory paralysis. Hydrogen sulfide quickly destroys the sense of smell. Sulfur dioxide is an important air pollutant. [52][53] This element is produced for industrial uses such as the production of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) for batteries, gunpowder production, and rubber heating. Sulfur acts as an antifungal agent in the production process of phosphate fertilizers. Sulfates are also used in washing and drying papers. Sulfur is also used in making matches and fireworks. Ammonium or sodium thiosulfate is used as a fixing agent in photography. Magnesium sulfate can be used as an anti-drying and laxative agent, which is a herbal magnesium supplement

Application of sulfur in agriculture
The highest consumption of sulfur in previous years was related to agricultural industries and preparation of phosphatic fertilizers. Sulfur is considered as the most important mineral needed for plant growth, and its deficiency has a bad effect on agricultural products. In this industry, sulfur is used to make chemical fertilizers healthy and nutritious, as well as to supply nutrients needed by plants from other sources.

Application of sulfur in medicine
From the use of sulfur in medicine, we can mention the production of antioxidants, anti-allergic substances and some drugs used to treat cough or bronchitis.
