  • Sulfur Oxides
definition
  • Sulfur oxides (SOx) can occur naturally from such sources as volcanoes, sulfur springs and decaying organic matter, or from anthropogenic sources such as fossil fuel combustion, brickworks, and spontaneous combustion in coal mine spoil heaps. Sulfur oxides in the atmosphere are usually removed by acid rain.

Abstract from DBPedia
    Sulfur oxide refers to many types of sulfur and oxygen containing compounds such as SO, SO2, SO3, S7O2, S6O2, S2O2, etc. Sulfur oxide (SOx) refers to one or more of the following: * Lower sulfur oxides (SnO, S7O2 and S6O2) * Sulfur monoxide (SO) and its dimer, Disulfur dioxide (S2O2) * Sulfur dioxide (SO2) * Sulfur trioxide (SO3) * Higher sulfur oxides (SO3 and SO4 and polymeric condensates of them) * Disulfur monoxide (S2O)This set index page lists chemical compounds articles associated with the same name.

    硫黄酸化物（いおうさんかぶつ、英: sulfur oxide）は、硫黄の酸化物の総称。一酸化硫黄 (SO)、二酸化硫黄（亜硫酸ガス）(SO2)、三酸化硫黄 (SO3) などが含まれる。化学式から SOx （ソックス）と略称される。
