Is sulfur a fossil fuel?
No, sulfur is a native element or mineral, not a fossil fuel.
What fossil fuel releases no sulfur when burned?
Natural gas, methane, contains no sulfur.
When fuels burn what element present in the impurities in a fossil fuel may produce sulfur dioxide?
Sulfur.
How long does it take uranium to become a fossil fuel?
Uranium is not a fossil fuel and cannot be a fossil fuel.
What are the methods that can be used to remove sulfur dioxide gas from the atmosphere?
About the only way sulfur dioxide gas can be removed from the atmosphere is by washing it out with water. But water and sulfur dioxide create sulfuric acid, and you'll have acid rain. There really isn't a "good" way to remove SO2 from the air. It is best to try to keep it out of the air in the first place. Most SO2 enters the air through the burning of fossil fuels with sulfur in them. The so-called "refined" fuels like gasoline don't contain sulfur, but coal and fuel oil and a number of other fuels do. Where coal and fuel oils are used commercially (in large quantity), we try to scrub the stack gases to grab the sulfur, but it is costly and difficult.

Sweet natural as has essentially no sulphur.
What pollutants are released from fossil fuel combustion?
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides are the pollutants released from fossil fuel combustion.

Is pentane a fossil fuel?
Pentane is an alkane which has been removed from crude oil by fractional distillation and it's crude oil that's the fossil fuel.
Is natural gas environmentally friendly?
It is debatable. Natural gas has the smallest carbon to hydrogen ratio of any fossil fuel, which means it produces less carbon dioxide per unit of energy than any other fossil fuel. The impurities such as hydrogen sulfide can be easily removed via the Claus process, avoiding toxic emissions of sulfur dioxide when the fuel is burned. On the other hand natural gas is still a fossil fuel and still produces carbon dioxide when burned, which is the major contributor to anthropogenic global warming.
How you could reduce the sulfur in the fuel content to be used in the power plant?
If the fuel is coal, you simply have to switch to a coal with a lower sulfur content. You can remove the SOx from the flue gas with ammonia scrubbing. If the fuel is fuel oil a lower sulfur fuel oil can be used. Otherwise the oil must be treated in a hydrodesulfurization unit which is probably not economical due to the hydrogen required. If the fuel is natural gas, sulfur can be absorbed by absorption with a sulfur free amine such as MDEA (monodiethanolamine). The sulfur is later removed from the amine during the amine regeneration process which results in a sulfur rich stream.
Is rocket fuel a fossil fuel?
Yes it is a fossil fuel.
