Most sulphur is used in the production of phosphate fertilizer. Liquid sulphur us burned to produce sulphur dioxide gas which then goes through a catalytic process to produce sulphuric acid. This sulphuric acid is then used to leach the phosphate from phosphate rock. The phosphate is then used to make phosphate fertalizer. The reaction leaves a byproduct of gypsum. If you ever see a phosphate mine or a facility that processes phosphate rock you will notice the acres and acres of gypsul piles surrounding the facility.
