This week, liquid sulfur prices in East China experienced a slight adjustment. The reference price for liquid sulfur in East China stood at CNY 5,225/ton. Based on this price, the raw material cost for producing sulfur-based acid is approximately CNY 1,741.67/ton. Although steam generated from sulfur combustion offsets part of the expenses, when including costs for utilities (water and electricity), labor, and equipment depreciation, the total production cost of sulfur-based acid is calculated at CNY 1,651.05/ton. Among the three types of acid production methods, the profit margin for sulfur-based acid is CNY 44/ton, while pyrite-based acid currently yields a profit of CNY 345.33/ton, and smelter gas acid generates a profit of CNY 1,100/ton.
