Sulphur combines with oxygen to form sulphur dioxide. S + O2 -> SO2
Diesel fuel contains compounds of sulfur that are oxidized during combustion to produce sulfur trioxide, which dissolves in water to form sulfuric acid.
In the case of fuel burning in the presence of sulfur the combustion results in the formation of some sulfur dioxide.
It will cause less sulfur dioxide to be produced during combustion of the fuel, which will cause less sulfuric acid to form in the atmosphere, which will cause less acid rain, and less damage to the environment.
Spontaneous combustion occurs by self heating, thermal runway and then ignition. Woodlands, shrubs and grasslands are sometimes victims of spontaneous combustion during extremely dry weather.
I'm glad to find someone else interested in sulfur...its a really cool element! As sulfur is burned, it emits a blue flame because of the production of sulfur dioxide, which is made during the combustion of O2 and sulfur. Just out of curiosity, do you know anything about why sulfur-8 (yellow sulfur) turns blood red at a certain heat? I know it has something to do with its density and viscosity, but other than that I'm stumped!
Combustion of sulfur produce sulfur oxides.
Diesel fuel contains compounds of sulfur that are oxidized during combustion to produce sulfur trioxide, which dissolves in water to form sulfuric acid.
If limited then combustion is reduced, if totally restricted then there's no combustion at all
Ali Mahmoud Zghoul has written: 'Evolution of sulfur and nitrogen species during pulverized coal combustion' -- subject- s -: Coal, Combustion
carbon monoxide, due to improper combustion Hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxides Also, if the fuel contains sulfur, oxides of sulfur
They could be formed by the oxidation / combustion of sulfur and nitrogen respectively
what will happen if the amount of combustion in earth drops?

S + O2 à SO2 This is a combustion reaction
