Is sulfur a fossil fuel?
No, sulfur is a native element or mineral, not a fossil fuel.
Does using low sulfur fuel produce less sulfur dioxide?
Yes, of course
What fossil fuel releases no sulfur when burned?
Natural gas, methane, contains no sulfur.
Why do they put sulfur in explosives?
Sulfur is added to gun powder as a fuel; also adding sulfur the rate of ignition of the explosive is greater.
When fuels burn what element present in the impurities in a fossil fuel may produce sulfur dioxide?
Sulfur.
What is the disadvantage of low sulfur Diesel fuel for old diesel?
It has low sulfur, use additive
What is the purpose of sulfur in fuel?
Sulfur in fuel in an impurity. It does not directly produce energy.
Is sulfur a fossil fuel?
No, sulfur is a native element or mineral, not a fossil fuel.
How do you check for sulfur in fuel?
You burn an amount of fuel and capture the by-products (exhaust) and run them thru a spectrometer to see what the chemical components are. If sulfur is present there is sulfur in the fuel.
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.
What is a disadvantage of fuel?
You can run out, and you have to take it with you.

Sulfur.
What happens if petrol burns with small amounts of sulfur?
In the case of fuel burning in the presence of sulfur the combustion results in the formation of some sulfur dioxide.
What is DS2 Diesel Fuel?
DS2 fuel is ultra low sulfur fuel mainly found at airports. Although it reduces emissions, there is a loss in efficiency when it is used. The PPM (parts per million) content of the sulfur in DS2 fuel should not exceed 15ppm in the United States. Due to the low content of the sulfur in DS2 fuel, the cost of the fuel per gallon has increased up to 25 cents more per gallon.
