What is the difference between solid sulfur and liquid sulfur? Can liquid sulfur be used as a substitute for solid sulfur in industry? Thank you

The difference between solid sulfur and liquid sulfur is the same as that between ice and water

Sulfur prices remain stable while sulfuric acid prices are falling, making it difficult for those involved in producing sulfuric acid from sulfur.

Refineries produce liquid sulfur; solidifying sulfur means turning liquid sulfur into a solid form, which makes it easier to transport and store. When used for sulfur fixation, it generally needs to be liquefied first; using liquid sulfur directly results in fewer impurities.
