Sulfur is one of the most abundant elements in the universe. If you peer into a diffuse interstellar cloud, you find loads of it—about the amount expected based on fusion patterns in the stars it was ...

The search for cost-effective stationary energy storage systems has led to a surge of reports on novel post-Li-ion batteries composed entirely of earth-abundant chemical elements. Among the plethora ...

Researchers at Tampere University have discovered that sulfur trioxide can form products other than sulfuric acid in the atmosphere by interacting with organic and inorganic acids. These previously ...

As electric vehicles continue to grow in popularity, scientists see great potential in lithium-sulfur batteries as a more environmentally friendly way to power them. This is because they don't rely on ...

Coal often contains significant quantities of sulphur in mineral and organic forms, which on combustion yield sulphur dioxide and other pollutants linked to acid rain and respiratory illness.

Sulfur dioxide (SO 2) is a pungent, toxic gas that is the primary product of burning elemental sulfur. It exists widely in nature, mostly from volcanic activity and burning fossil fuels. It is found ...

The conventional route to producing sulfuric acid is via the contact process. The first step in this process is sulfur combustion which yields 12% SO 2 in air, resulting in larger downstream reactors ...

Researchers in China have developed a method to convert polystyrene plastic waste into valuable chemicals using solar energy and sulfur, tackling both pollution and resource recovery in a single ...
