Sulphur is used as vulcanising agent in the production of rubber. It cross links the polyisoprene found in the latex from the rubber tree. the process is to mix the latex with sulfur and other additives e.g. carbon black, and then heat. The characteristics of the rubber produced depend on what and how much is added to the latex and how long it is heated for.
The releasing agent reacts perferentially with the anion forming stable compound andreleasing the analyte.

relationship between oxidation and oxidising agent in a redox reaction
yes it is a bleaching agent
Sulphur dioxide is a reducing agent and is used for bleaching and as a fumigant and food preservative. Large quantities of sulphur dioxide are used in the contact process for the manufacture of sulphuric acid. Sulphur dioxide is used in bleaching wool or straw, and as a disinfectant. Liquid sulphur dioxide has been used in purifying petroleum products
bentonite's specific end uses were as a foundry sand-bonding agent (25.4 percent), as a clumping agent in pet waste litter (22.7 percent), as a drilling mud (20.6 percent), and in iron ore pelletizing (15.1 percent).
Sulphur is a yellow non-metallic element which is solid at room temperature and insoluble in water. Sulphur will burn in air with a blue flame and the release of a pungent choking gas called Sulphur Dioxide. Sulphur will melt at around 115 degrees Celsius and boil at around 445 degrees Celsius. When heated to melting point, Sulphur initially becomes a red liquid but this changes to a black color with prolonged heating. Chemically, Sulphur may act as an oxidizing agent or a reducing agent.

S+O2->SO2 Oxidation no. of sulphur changes from 0 to +4. Due to presence of d-orbitals(vacant) sulphur can extend its covalency & show oxidation states till +6, which is stable in sulphur (eg: SF6). Hence it acts as a reducing agent. Te+O2->TeO2 Oxidation no. of Te changes from 0 to +4. Unlike sulphur Te cannot show +6 oxidation state as it is highly unstable due to inert pair effect. Therefore there can only be a decrease in it oxidation state (it can decrease to -2, +2). Hence it acts as an oxidising agent.

Antagonist is a process or agent that works against another.
