Sulfur: History, Technology, Applications and Industry, Third
Edition focuses on methods of production and their applications
during various stages of industrial and technological use.
Commercial sulfuric acid production from the early 16th century
until today is reviewed, spanning the Ancient and Renaissance
periods, the Industrial Age (to which sulfur was vitally
important), and the Sulfur War of 1840. The book introduces "the
Sulfur Age" and the processes of this period- such as the
Nordhausen, Bell, and Leblanc methods- then goes onto review native
sulfur production in Sicily, once a major supplier to the world.
The "Frasch method" is also covered in detail. Moving to present
day, the book presents "recovered" sulfur derived from sour gas and
oil which constitutes 90% of today's elemental sulfur supply, and
looks to Canada, a powerhouse supplier of recovered sulfur. An
entire chapter is devoted to modern-day sulfur entrepreneurs, with
a profile of various investors (from the reluctant to the private
and institutional). Finally, the book forecasts the sulfur
industry's future and potential supply sources, such as worldwide
oil sands.
