Sulfur action

1 can be used as sulfuric acid in batteries or solutions. Sulfur is used to make black powder.

2. As a vulcanizing agent in rubber industry. Sulfur is also used to kill fungi and as fertilizer. Sulfide is used for bleaching in paper industry.

3. Sulfate is also used in fireworks. Sodium thiosulfate and ammonium thiosulfate are used as fixatives in photography.

Danger:

Sulfur burns in the air, which produces a blue flame and produces sulfur dioxide. When the powder is mixed with air or oxidant, it is easy to burn or even explode.

Extended data

Sulfur mainly exists in the form of sulfide (such as pyrite) and sulfate (such as gypsum) in nature, and pure sulfur also exists in hot springs and volcanic areas. In addition, some minerals such as cinnabar, galena, sphalerite and stibnite are also sulfide minerals. Coal and oil also contain a small amount of sulfur, which is why sulfur dioxide (acid rain) is released when burning coal and oil.

Today, many countries require the recovery of sulfur dioxide released when burning coal and oil. These recovered sulfur is an important source of sulfur used in industry today. This process is usually realized through a process called "Claus process". Another important source is sulfur ore.
