As compared to other fuels, Diesel has much more quantity of sulphur and the quantity of sulphur ranges from 50 ppm - 85 ppm.
The difference between sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide is that there are 2 molecules of oxygen present in sulphur dioxide (SO2) and there are 3 molecules of oxygen are present in sulphur trioxide (SO3).
They both have at least one sulphur atom
It's the amount of Sulphur in kerosene. It is measured in ppm or un %m/m. Sulphur content is important due to it's relation with SOx emissions, an important contaminant that cause health impacts on humans and ecological impacts. Also, it causes acid rain.
Sweet natural as has essentially no sulphur.
I think the answer to the question is the sulphur content. Sulphur combine with oxygen to form sulphur dioxide which is a pollutant. So petroleum with low sulphur content is of a high quality. Sulphur content, and how light the oil is = measured in API. Or what they call GOR (gas/oil ratio), the lighter the oil gets, the less refining it needs, the higher the quality and price.
Lake Valley, Oklahoma is halfway between Denver & Sulphur
Oxygen is a gas, sulphur is a solid. Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons, sulphur has 16 of each.
The halfway point between Pearland, TX and Sulphur, Louisiana is Hamshire, TX.
The amount of sulphur in coal is directly related to the amount of sulphur dioxide it would produce on burning and hence it becomes necessary to check sulphur content since there are emission limits on amount of sulphur dioxides that can come out since it is an air pollutant. To remove sulphur one might consider adding carbonates as it would help convert sulphur dioxide to sulphates which can be removed along with the ash.
sulphide is a compound of sulphur and one other element
Further use of fossil fuels especially those with a high sulphur content.
