Sulphur Oxide

Sulfur oxide Sulfur oxides (SOx) are a group of chemical compounds formed by the combination of sulfur and oxygen. The most common SOx are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfur trioxide (SO3). SOx are produced naturally through volcanic activity and are also released into the atmosphere from human activities like burning fossil fuels and industrial processes. Sulfur oxide (SO_''x'') refers to one or more of the following: *

Lower sulfur oxides The lower sulfur oxides are a group of inorganic compounds with the formula , where 2''m'' > ''n''. These species are often unstable and thus rarely encountered in everyday life. They are significant intermediates in the combustion of elemental s ...
