Sulfuric Acid

U.S. Gulf: Insiders described the Gulf import market as quiet last week, with prices steady at $75-$90/mt CFR.

PotashCorp officially closed its 500,000 mt/y Geismar, La. sulfuric acid facility on June 18, the company announced. Despite the lost production, sources largely termed the closure a nonevent, with other nearby sulfuric acid plants expected to increase production in response.
