What fossil fuels would contain sulfur?

All fossil fuels contain sulphur, at least to some extent. Oil that has a high level of sulphur is called 'sour' crude, as opposed to 'sweet' crude which has a low sulphur level. Natural gas can also be 'sweet' or 'sour'. Sulphur in natural gas is usually present as the poisonous gas hydrogen sulphide, and it is usually removed from natural gas as it emerges from the ground. In remote regions like northern Canada or Kazakhstan its storage can be a problem. On the other hand, oil is processed at refineries, often a long way from the source of the oil, and the sulphur is used in various industrial processes. High sulphur concentrations are also found in oil or tar sands such as are found in northern Canada and Venezuela. Coal also contains sulphur, but being a solid it is difficult to extract using conventional technologies. High-sulphur coal used to produce a lot of sulphur dioxide when it was burned, which formed sulphuric acid in the air, leading to acid rain, but nowadays the waste gases are 'scrubbed' of sulphur using a limestone wash, and the mineral gypsum is formed, which is used in plasterboard and other building materials.


Is sulfur trioxide a primary or secondary pollutant?

Coal and oli contain sulphur. When either one burns, it produces sulphur dioxide. The sulphur dioxide gradually turns into sulphur trioxide which mixes with rain and becomes acid rain. It is easy to remove the sulphur in refineries or power plants.


Do celecoxib capsules contain sulfur?

Is sulfur dioxide given off by burning petroleum?

Some petroleum fuels such as Bunker C or heavy diesel contain significant amounts of sulphidic compounds and some natural fuel gases are known as sour when they contain hydrogen sulfide. In both of these cases when the fuels are burned they will produce sulphur dioxide. In automotive diesel there is a small amount of sulphur. This, because of the combustion conditions, is not released as sulpur dioxide, but as solid sulfate particulate. Fuels which contain no sulphur (refined and treaterd by sulphur removal) do not give off sulphur dioxide.

Does whiskey contain sulphur dioxide?

Sulphur dioxide is not intentionally added to whiskey as an ingredient. However, during the fermentation and aging process, small amounts of sulphur compounds may be naturally produced. Some distilleries may also use sulphur candles to sanitize barrels, which can lead to traces of sulphur dioxide in the final product.
