I. Qualitative Analysis of Sample Cost and Profit Trends
This week, liquid sulfur prices in East China saw a slight adjustment. The reference price for liquid sulfur in East China was 4,805 RMB/ton. Based on this price, the raw material cost for producing sulfuric acid is approximately 1,601.67 RMB/ton. While steam generated from sulfur offsets some expenses, when including costs for water, electricity, labor, and equipment depreciation, the total production cost of sulfuric acid stands at 1,512.45 RMB/ton. Among the three primary methods of sulfuric acid production, the profit margin for sulfur-based acid is 138.21 RMB/ton, while pyrite-based (ore) acid yields a profit of 362.67 RMB/ton, and smelter gas-derived acid achieves the highest profit at 1,030 RMB/ton.

II. Forecast Analysis of Sample Cost Trends
This week, the domestic market for granular sulfur at major ports trended upward with fluctuations. Seasonal rigid demand from downstream sectors became more apparent, accelerating the circulation of inventory. Low-priced supplies were quickly absorbed, making resources harder to find and supporting firm price increases. Regarding domestic resources, solid sulfur prices rose slightly, driven by port market trends, while liquid sulfur prices experienced a minor decline.
III. Product Sample Trends and Price Comparison
