Sulphur, also spelled as “sulfur” is a nonmetallic element that exists in nature and can be found in soil, plants, foods, and water, having the Periodic Table atomic symbol of “S”. Sulfur is the tenth most abundant element in the universe. Sulphur may appear as a gas, liquid, or solid. As a mineral, sulphur appears as a pale yellow, tasteless, odorless and brittle material that is non-toxic. Some proteins contain sulfur in the form of amino acids. Sulfur is one of the few elements that is found in its elemental form in nature. Typical sulfur deposits occur in sedimentary limestone/gypsum formations, in limestone/anhydrite formations associated with salt domes, or in volcanic rock.
Sulfur is solid at room temperature, but melts easily at a temperature of only 239-degree Fahrenheit (depending on crystalline form) to a transparent light yellow liquid, becoming deep orange as the temperature is increased. Sulphur becomes progressively lighter in color at lower temperatures and is almost white at the temperature of liquid air. Sulfur does not dissolve in water (insoluble) and forms stable compounds with all elements except the noble gases.
In nature sulfur can primarily be found occurring in three forms 1) elemental sulfur, 2) sulfides, and 3) sulfates. Together these three forms of sulfur constitute about 0.05 percent of the Earth’s crust. After oxygen and silicon, sulfur is the most abundant constituent of minerals. Elemental sulfur is a natural component of the environment found in soil nearly everywhere in the world. There are geological areas where elemental sulfur occurs as massive sedimentary deposits. Examples of this occur in areas near hot springs and volcanic regions. In areas of heavy deposits, sulfur is extracted from the ground using a process called the Frasch process. Because the boiling point of sulfur is low, the Frasch process involves pumping down superheated steam down into the deposits, causing the sulfur to liquefy. The liquefied or molten sulfur is then removed by pumping air down into the deposits, causing it to rise to the surface. Once on the surface, the molten sulfur once again solidifies. The Frasch process produces sulfur of a very high purity of 99%.
On the way from gaseous, liquid or solid feedstocks to petrol, heating oil or petrochemical products, the feedstocks need to be purified of sulfuric compounds. Crude oil and coal contain a variety of complex sulphur-containing organic species. These sulphur compounds are removed from the liquid fuels by treatment with hydrogen to convert the sulfur to hydrogen sulfide, which is taken off in the gas stream. The recovery of sulfur values from sour fuels for environmental reasons is the largest source of sulphur today.
