How are sulfur chemicals turned into energy?

Burn Sulfur with oxygen and produce heat. In action, this is not really a good idea since the Sulfur will turn to SO2 upon combustion and in presence of humidity it will future react to sulfurous acid. Quite a health hazard form of fuel. Usually, we use Sulfur as reagent to produce Sulfuric and other stuff. We recover energy from reaction as byproduct.
