  2. Hydrogen sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_sulfide

    The bisulfide anion is subsequently regenerated by heating of the amine sulfide solution. Hydrogen sulfide generated in this process is typically converted to elemental sulfur using the Claus Process. Process flow diagram of a typical amine treating process used in petroleum refineries, natural gas processing plants and other industrial facilities

  3. Sulfur compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_compounds

    Treatment of sulfur with hydrogen gives hydrogen sulfide.When dissolved in water, hydrogen sulfide is mildly acidic: [5] H 2 S ⇌ HS − + H +. Hydrogen sulfide gas and the hydrosulfide anion are extremely toxic to mammals, due to their inhibition of the oxygen-carrying capacity of hemoglobin and certain cytochromes in a manner analogous to cyanide and azide.

  4. Sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfide

    Sulfide (also sulphide in British English) [2] is an inorganic anion of sulfur with the chemical formula S 2− or a compound containing one or more S 2− ions. Solutions of sulfide salts are corrosive. Sulfide also refers to large families of inorganic and organic compounds, e.g. lead sulfide and dimethyl sulfide.

  5. Sulfur dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_dioxide

    Sulfur dioxide is a mild but useful reducing agent. It is oxidized by halogens to give the sulfuryl halides, such as sulfuryl chloride: SO 2 + Cl 2 → SO 2 Cl 2. Sulfur dioxide is the oxidising agent in the Claus process, which is conducted on a large scale in oil refineries. Here, sulfur dioxide is reduced by hydrogen sulfide to give ...

  6. Lime sulfur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_sulfur

    Lime sulfur reacts with strong acids (including stomach acid) to produce highly toxic hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg gas) and indeed usually has a distinct "rotten egg" odor to it. Lime sulfur is not flammable but can release highly irritating sulfur dioxide gas when in a fire. Safety goggles and impervious gloves must be worn while handling lime ...

  7. Polysulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysulfide

    The alkali metal polysulfides arise by treatment of a solution of the sulfide with elemental sulfur, e.g. sodium sulfide to sodium polysulfide: S 2− + n S → S 2− n+1. In some cases, these anions have been obtained as organic salts, which are soluble in organic solvents. [4]

  8. Sodium polysulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_polysulfide

    Sodium polysulfide can be produced by dissolving sulfur in a solution of sodium sulfide. [4] Alternatively they are produced by the redox reaction of aqueous sodium hydroxide with sulfur at elevated temperatures. [5] Finally they arise by the reduction of elemental sulfur with sodium, a reaction often conducted in anhydrous ammonia.

  9. Mustard gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustard_gas

    Mustard gas or sulfur mustard are names commonly used for the organosulfur chemical compound bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide, which has the chemical structure S(CH 2 CH 2 Cl) 2, as well as other species. In the wider sense, compounds with the substituents −SCH 2 CH 2 X or −N(CH 2 CH 2 X) 2 are known as sulfur mustards or nitrogen mustards ...
