Sulfur Element Facts

Sulfur Element Facts The Sanskrit possibility is appealing, because it carries a message about people’s knowledge of chemistry from long ago: sulfur actually does react easily with many metals, including copper. (Sanskrit is one of the oldest Indo-European languages – over 3000 years old. Despite this, it is the human language most compatible with artificial intelligence.  ) Most health benefits from onions and garlic come from sulfur compounds. Cave bacteria, which digest hydrogen sulfide, produce snottites (think of slimy stalactites) in caves. These snottites drip sulfuric acid with a pH as low as zero – that’s enough to burn holes in your clothes if you stand underneath them. Snottite bacteria thrive in areas where there are sulfur deposits or sulfur-containing minerals or hydrocarbons. The sulfuric acid they excrete carves out new cave systems underground by dissolving rocks.

How Coal Works

How Coal Forms Coal is a sedimentary organic rock that contains a lot of carbon -- between 40 and 90 percent carbon by weight. Coal is formed by ancient plants and animals accumulating in moist peat bogs. As plants die off in a wet area, they pile up into peat. It takes between 4,000 and 100,000 years for one meter of peat to accumulate. This process happens best in river deltas or coastal plains. Over time, these peat seams are compressed by further deposits and the carbon content of the coal is concentrated. The older the coal gets, generally, the harder and blacker it gets. There are four "ranks" of coal: lignite, subbituminous, bituminous, and anthracite, from lowest to highest. Rank is determined by energy content and chemical composition. The ranks are really on a continuum from low carbon/low energy content to high carbon/high energy content. The youngest coal is not even coal yet --  peat . Peat is a traditional fuel in parts of the world, like Ireland, where ...

Liquid Soap Making Technique

Liquid Soap Making Technique ADVANCED LIQUID SOAP MAKING Liquid soap making  will provide you with  liquid hand soap  you can use at your washbasin, in the kitchen, and a  body wash  to use in your shower.

Contrary to  commercially-produced liquid soaps , your soap will only contain the environment and skin friendly ingredients you have chosen. Liquid soap making is more challenging than making bar soap in many ways. The main differences are: -  potassium hydroxide  is used instead of  sodium hydroxide - potassium hydroxide comes as little flakes and usually contains around 10% remaining water and some impurities - the process is a  hot process  instead of the  cold pr...
