| sulphur | Not normally applied specifically as a fertiliser, as it is included in several other fertilisers which are commonly applied, e g ammonium sulphate Powdered elemental sulphur is sometimes applied to turf and soil to reduce the soil pH, however, great care needs to be taken during application to ensure an even spread is given and also any thatch which is present is not of too high a density otherwise the sulphur can become lodged within the thatch, producing excessive localised acidity which would be detrimental to the sward quality | en | en |
| sulphur | Generally regarded as an impurity in steel as it can have detrimental effects on strength, ductility and weldability as well as producing hot and cold shortness Its content in most steels is limited to a maximum of 0 050% Sulfur is beneficial to machining and is added to freecutting steels in amounts up to 0 35% with the manganese content increased to overcome any detrimental effects | en | en |

| sulfur | It is very reactive but occurs native in deposits, as well as combined in various ores (e.g., pyrite, galena, cinnabar); in coal, petroleum, and natural gas; and in the water in sulfur springs. Sulfur is the third most abundant constituent of minerals and one of the four most important basic chemical commodities. Pure sulfur, a tasteless, odourless, brittle yellow solid, occurs in several crystalline and amorphous allotropes, including brimstone and flowers of sulfur. It combines, with valence 2, 4, or 6, with nearly all other elements. Its most familiar compound is hydrogen sulfide, a poisonous gas that smells like rotten eggs. All metals except gold and platinum form sulfides, and many ores are sulfides. The oxides are sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide, which when dissolved in water make sulfurous acid and sulfuric acid, respectively. Several sulfur compounds with halogen elements are industrially important. Sodium sulfite (Na2SO3) is a reducing agent used to pulp paper and in photography. Organic compounds with sulfur include several amino acids, the sulfa drugs, and many insecticides, solvents, and substances used in making rubber and rayon. sulfur bacteria sulfur dioxide sulfur butterfly | en | en |

| sulfur | Sulfur has been used for centuries in winemaking to disinfect and to preserve wines by preventing oxidation The problem is that young Rieslings often show a significant level of sulfur dioxide gas in the nose, which is not really a pleasant odor These wines are meant for aging and, with time in the bottle, the smell will disappear as the sulfur binds with other compounds in the wine | en | en |
