Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is sodium hydrosulfide and how is it primarily used?
Sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) is a sulfur-based chemical reagent known for its reducing and sulfur-donating capabilities. It is mainly used in copper flotation, leather tanning, and chemical intermediate production, as well as in pulp & paper bleaching and sulfur recovery processes.
2. Which industries are the major end-users of sodium hydrosulfide?
The primary end-users include the metallurgical, leather tanning, pulp & paper, chemical, and dye manufacturing industries. These sectors utilize NaHS for flotation, dehairing, bleaching, and as a sulfur donor in synthesis.
3. Which application segment dominates the sodium hydrosulfide market?
Copper flotation is the leading application, accounting for over 40% of global demand, due to the increasing need for efficient mineral recovery in copper, lead, and molybdenum mining operations.
4. What are the major growth drivers influencing the sodium hydrosulfide market?
Key drivers include rising non-ferrous metal demand, expansion of mining operations, increased leather production, and the growth of sustainable chemical processes aligned with the circular economy.
5. What challenges are restraining market growth?
The corrosive and toxic nature of NaHS poses handling and environmental safety risks, while REACH and EPA regulations have increased compliance costs for manufacturers.
6. What are the emerging markets for sodium hydrosulfide?
Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are emerging as growth hubs, particularly in Chile, Peru, and South Africa, due to expanding metallurgical and mining activities.
7. Who are the key players in the sodium hydrosulfide market?
Major companies include Genesis Energy LP, AkzoNobel, Solvay, Tessenderlo Group, Nouryon Chemicals, Sasol, and Shanghai Baijin Chemical Group, with local manufacturers such as Yifeng Biochemical and Shandong Yamei strengthening supply in Asia-Pacific.
8. How are environmental regulations shaping market strategies?
Companies are adopting safer transport methods, closed-loop sulfur systems, and low-emission production to meet stringent environmental compliance under REACH and EPA standards.
9. What is the current state of global trade in sodium hydrosulfide?
Between 2022 and 2024, global trade shifted toward Asia-Pacific dominance as the chief exporter, with Central & South America and MEA becoming major importers. Prices per ton declined due to oversupply from Asian producers.
