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.

What is the carbon content of kerosene?
Kerosene is comprised of multiple types of alkane (hydrocarbon) chains. These chains can vary between 6 to 18 carbons long. Cycloalkanes and aromatics (benzenes) are among kerosene's hydrocarbon constituents.
How many BTUs are there in a gallon of Kerosene?
1 gallon for #1 Kerosene produces 135,000 BTUs. #1 Kerosene is closely related to #1 Diesel and JP8 (Jet Fuel) - they differ chiefly in additives. Likewise, #2 Kerosene, Diesel #2, and Furnace Oil are similar to one another. #2 oils have higher sulfur content, which leads to more eye and lung irritation from the emissions. However, they are also comprised of longer hydrocarbon chains, and therefore weigh more per gallon and also have somewhat higher energy content.
How do you differentiate between sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide?
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).
Is kerosene miscible with carbon tetrachloride?
Yes. kerosene is miscible in CCl4.
What is the solvent for sulphur?
Ammoniac and carbone sulphur CS2.
What is the word equation for the oxidation reaction of kerosene?
Kerosene reacts with an ample supply of oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide from all the carbon content of kerosene and water from all the hydrogen content of kerosene.
Do cigarettes have kerosene rings that keep them lit?
Small amounts of sulphur are added to keep cigarettes lit.
What is the content of sulphur in diesel?
As compared to other fuels, Diesel has much more quantity of sulphur and the quantity of sulphur ranges from 50 ppm - 85 ppm.
What is cracked fuel?
Cracked Fuel Oil is an end product obtained by blending oil residues from conversion, atmospheric or vacuum distillation processes with cutterstocks like Kerosene, Light Cycle Oil or Gasoil to adjust properties like viscosity or sulphur content.
Fossil fuel with lowest sulfur content?
Sweet natural as has essentially no sulphur.
What is the carbon content of kerosene?
Kerosene is comprised of multiple types of alkane (hydrocarbon) chains. These chains can vary between 6 to 18 carbons long. Cycloalkanes and aromatics (benzenes) are among kerosene's hydrocarbon constituents.
What is the quality of petroleum determined by?
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.
Why do you analyze sulfur in coal?
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.
What is sulphide?
sulphide is a compound of sulphur and one other element
What causes acid rain to increase?
Further use of fossil fuels especially those with a high sulphur content.
How is sulphur content reduce in mustard oil?
to increase the temp. in process above 120 deg. centi. Pradeep Patil
Why sulphur and carbon tests are done?
These tests are performed to determine the carbon-sulfur content of some metals. Certain metals comply to a specific standard due to the levels of its carbon-sulfur content.
