Bob,
I totally agree sulfur is hidden trap with phosphate production. (Well, one of many.) Florida makes around 30 million tons of calcium sulfate (or gypsum) every year. Yesterday, I watched dozens of tanker cars of sulfur of a train going into one of the phosphate plants near Mulberry, Florida. I could not help wondering how far around the world this sulfur came. (Hey, it gets boring waiting for a train to cross the road). What are we going to do when production drops and fuel oil becomes scarce?
Hello Mad_Man,
Thxs for responding. We need to do as Pres. Clinton suggests: close the landfills everywhere, then start recycling everything to slow the rate of entropy as much as we can.
some of the sulphur probably came from your own sour crude jay field in florida.
