What is Sulphur?

sulphur facts lumps:
The group 6A elements are listed in the Table on the side here. This goup of elements are intimately related to our lives. We need oxygen all the time through out our lives. Did you know that sulfur is also one of the essential elements of life. It is responsible for some of the protein structures in all living organisms. Many industries utilize sulfur, but emission of sulfur compounds is often seen more as a problem than the natural phenomenon. The matallic properties increase as the atomic number increases. The element polonium has no stable isotopes, and the isotope with mass number 209 has the longest half life of 103 years.

Properties of oxygen are very different from other elements of the group, but they all have 2 electons in the outer s orbital, and 4 electrons in the p orbitals, usually written as s2p4

The trends of their properties in this group are interesting. Knowing the trend allows us to predict their reactions with other elements. Most trends are true for all groups of elements, and the group trends are due mostly to the size of the atoms and number of electrons per atom.

The trends are described below:

The metallic properties increase in the order oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, or polonium. Polonium is essentially a metal. It was discovered by M. Curie, who name it after her native country Poland.
Electronegativity, ionization energy (or ionization potential IP), and electron affinity decrease for the group as atomic weight increases.

The atomic radii and melting point increase.
Oxygen differs from sulfur in chemical properties due to its small size. The differences between O and S are more than the differences between other members.

Sulphur is a pale yellow, odourless, brittle solid, which is insoluble in water but soluble in carbon disulphide. Sulphur is essential to life. It is a minor constituent of fats, body fluids, and skeletal minerals.

In 1839, Charles Goodyear accidentally dropped a mixture of rubber and Sulphur into a fire. Goodyear called his rubber materials "vulcanized" after Vulcan the Roman god of fire.

In the 1800s, mothers in Britain often gave their children a spoonful of Sulphur and molasses as a spring tonic. Today, Sulfa drugs fight the bacteria that cause meningitis. Sulphur ointments treat skin infections.

Sulphur dates back thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians made paints with it and bleached their linens with it (as SO2). Early Chinese first used it to make gunpowder. Ancient Greeks used it as a disinfectant and medicine.

Most of the sulfur that is produced is used in the manufacture of sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Large amounts of sulfuric acid, nearly 40 million tons, are used each year to make fertilizers, lead-acid batteries, and in many industrial processes. Smaller amounts of sulfur are used to vulcanize natural rubbers, as an insecticide (the Greek poet Homer mentioned "pest-averting sulphur" nearly 2,800 years ago!), in the manufacture of gun powder and as a dying agent.

In addition to sulfuric acid, sulfur forms other interesting compounds. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gas that smells like rotten eggs. Sulfur dioxide (SO2), formed by burning sulfur in air, is used as a bleaching agent, solvent, disinfectant and as a refrigerant. When combined with water (H2O), sulfur dioxide forms sulfurous acid (H2SO3), a weak acid that is a major component of acid rain.

The element Sulphur is a non-metal and will not dissolve in water. The pure element Sulphur has very little smell. The smell you might associate with Sulphur ­ bad eggs ­ is actually a compound of Sulphur, the gas known as hydrogen sulphide. Sulphur compounds are also responsible for the smell in garlic, mustard, onions and cabbage. A Sulphur compound even gives skunks their ferociously powerful and long-lasting smell. Indeed, Sulphur is a part of all living tissues. Sulphur is fixed into proteins in plants, and acquired by animals who eat the plant materials.

Definition Of Sulphur:
Sulfur or sulphur is a chemical element with symbol S and atomic number 16. It is abundant, multivalent, and nonmetallic. Under normal conditions, sulfur atoms form cyclic octatomic molecules with a chemical formula S8. Elemental sulfur is a bright yellow, crystalline solid at room temperature.

Sulfur seems to have antibacterial effects against the bacteria that cause acne.

It also might help promote the loosening and shedding of skin.

This is believed to help treat skin conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis or acne.

Sulfur is the tenth most common element by mass in the universe, and the fifth most common on Earth. Though sometimes found in pure, native form, sulfur on Earth usually occurs as sulfide and sulfate minerals. Being abundant in native form, sulfur was known in ancient times, being mentioned for its uses in ancient India, ancient Greece, China, and Egypt. In the Bible, sulfur is called brimstone, which means “burning stone.

Today, almost all elemental sulfur is produced as a byproduct of removing sulfur-containing contaminants from natural gas and petroleum. The greatest commercial use of the element is the production of sulfuric acid for sulfate and phosphate fertilizers, and other chemical processes. The element sulfur is used in matches, insecticides, and fungicides. Many sulfur compounds are odoriferous, and the smells of odorized natural gas, skunk scent, grapefruit, and garlic are due to organosulfur compounds. Hydrogen sulfide gives the characteristic odor to rotting eggs and other biological processes.

Sulfur is an essential element for all life, but almost always in the form of organosulfur compounds or metal sulfides. Three amino acids (cysteine, cystine, and methionine) and two vitamins (biotin and thiamine) are organosulfur compounds. Many cofactors also contain sulfur including glutathione and thioredoxin and iron–sulfur proteins. Disulfides, S–S bonds, confer mechanical strength and insolubility of the protein keratin, found in outer skin, hair, and feathers. Sulfur is one of the core chemical elements needed for biochemical functioning and is an elemental macronutrient for all living organisms.

Three groups of sulfur are produced:
Sulfur powder:

Getting sulfur powder is typically at least a two-step process that starts with elemental, or mineral, sulfur; once this has been identified, it must be refined and ground down into a fine dust. Sulfur can be found in nature, and has traditionally been mined from volcanoes and salt domes.

In modern times the element is more readily collected as a residue or by product of petroleum mining and oil refining, though. The latter is sometimes strictly considered “natural” while the former called “synthetic,” but either will make a powder when processed.

Granules Sulphur:

The sulfur granules of actinomycosis and actinobacillosis were studied histologically and ultra-structurally. The sulfur granule of actinomycosis was large, and oval or horsehoe-shaped.In it, there were a number of gram-positive, filamentous or short rod-like hyphae beneath clubs.

Ultra structurally, the center of the sulfur granule was composed of a cluster of hyphae, and the periphery was surrounded by clubs arranged radially. The clubs were made of electron-dense fine granules and had a degenerated hypha at the center.

These granules varied in amount from small to large. As for the host reaction, neutrophil infiltration appeared first around the sulfur granule. Then epithelioid cells proliferated and phagocytized hyphae.

Application of Sulfur:
Sulfur is used in the vulcanisation of black rubber, as a fungicide and in black gunpowder. Most sulfur is, however, used in the production of sulfuric acid, which is perhaps the most important chemical manufactured by western civilisations. The most important of sulfuric acid’s many uses is in the manufacture of phosphoric acid, to make phosphates for fertilisers.

Mercaptans are a family of organosulfur compounds. Some are added to natural gas supplies because of their distinctive smell, so that gas leaks can be detected easily. Others are used in silver polish, and in the production of pesticides and herbicides.

Sulfites are used to bleach paper and as preservatives for many foodstuffs. Many surfactants and detergents are sulfate derivatives. Calcium sulfate (gypsum) is mined on the scale of 100 million tonnes each year for use in cement and plaster.

Sulfur need to produce sulfuric acid. Phosphate fertilizers,rubber. Sulfur is used in produce fireworks, used in produce firecracker, fungicide. Sulfur used as a bleaching agent, disinfectant and refrigerant.

Elemental Sulphur
Sulphur is one of the 17 essential plant nutrients. It is essential for the growth and development of all crops, without exception. Sulphur is a constituent of three S-containing amino acids (cysteine, cystine and methionine), which are the building blocks of protein.

Sulphur is a critical plant nutrient which often gets forgotten by our narrow emphasis on NPK. Many Irish soils are deficient in Sulphur yet having adequate amounts is important for nitrogen use efficiency and will have a big impact on yield and quality. Plants which have a high sulphur requirement include oilseed rape, brassicas, onions, leeks as well as grassland. The main symptom of S deficiency is a leaf yellowing similar to that of N deficiency but with younger leaves suffering more.

Adding larger amounts of sulphur is also one of the most effective ways to lower soil pH. The pH is lowered as a result of soil bacteria converting the Sulphur into Sulphuric acid. This is a slow biological process and not a rapid chemical reaction. It takes places when the bacteria are active which is when the soil is moist and warm. The soil temperature needs to be above 13C° so a Spring application and incorporation work best. Elemental sulphur is approved for use on organic holdings.

Granular Elemental Sulphur
90% Sulphur/10% Bentonite
Sulphur is an essential plant nutrient necessary for plant growth and improves the use efficiency of other essential plant nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus.
Lowers pH in alkaline soils.

Also useful as a soil amendment around acid loving plants such as blueberries, azaleas and rhododendrons.
Granulated form is easier to handle and provides a less leachable source for a continuous supply of sulphur.
Can be applied with a spreader.

Applying Elemental Sulphur
Soil tests are an unreliable indication of sulphur as most of the S in soils is bound up in organic matter.
Base application on the crops demands rather than trying to build up soil levels of sulphur.

Sandy soils which are free draining are most susceptible to S deficiency.
Do NOT exceed more than two applications per year.
Do not apply at temperatures 24° C or higher.
Keep away from flames or sparks.
Sulphur may irritate nasal passages, skin and eyes - always wear protective clothing when handling sulphur.
General Application Rates:

Silage - 25kg/ha per cut
Grazing - 25kg/ha per season
Vegetables - 50kg/ha applied in Spring
Potatoes - 25-40kg/ha
Using Sulphur to Adjust pH:

Much larger quantities are required if sulphur is being used to lower pH. Changes in soil pH occur slowly so it may take a couple of months or longer to see a difference. The amount of sulphur required is dependent on soil texture. Clay and organic matter act as a buffer, absorbing and releasing mineral ions. Relatively little sulphur is needed on sands, whereas soils high in clay or organic matter require much more. It is important to apply and incorporate sulphur at least a year before planting. This allows the sulphur time to react and lower the soil pH before planting.

As a rule of thumb, to lower pH by one point broadcast approximately 5kg per 100 m2 and work into the soil. (We recommend a soil test to determine actual rates). Surface-applied sulphur provides the same pH reduction as incorporated material but takes longer. Check soil pH again before planting and apply additional sulphur if needed. When large amounts are needed spread the application out over several years.
