The near-total disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for approximately 50 percent of global seaborne sulfur trade flows, has compounded an already tight sulfur market. Chemicals like sulfuric acid sit upstream of fertilizer production, copper extraction, battery-material processing, and semiconductor fabrication. Decoupling sulfuric acid production from sulfur supply is now a strategic priority for many countries, with producers turning to Travertine’s electrochemical sulfur recycling process for security of supply and lower price.
