Sulfur (Sanskrit, sulvari; Latin, sulfur or sulpur) was known in ancient times, and is referred to in the Biblical Pentateuch (Genesis). The word itself probably is from the Arabic sufra meaning yellow, from the bright color of the naturally occurring form, although the Sanskrit name for sulfur, sulvari could also be interpreted as meaning "enemy of copper".





English translations of the Bible commonly refer to sulfur as "brimstone", giving rise to the name of "Fire and Brimstone" sermons, in which listeners are reminded of the fate of eternal damnation that awaits the nonbelieving and unrepented. It is from this part of the Bible that Hell is implied to "smell of sulfur", although sulfur is in fact odorless. Other than Sulfuric Acid, H2SO4, perhaps the most familiar compound of sulfur in the chemistry lab is the foul-smelling Hydrogen Sulfide gas, H2S, e.g. from rotten eggs also associated with burnt matches.





Homer mentioned "pest-averting sulfur" in the 8th century BC and in 424 BC, the tribe of Boeotia destroyed the walls of a city by burning a mixture of coal, sulfur, and tar under them. Sometime in the 12th century, the Chinese invented gun powder which is a mixture of Potassium Nitrate (KNO3), Carbon, and Sulfur. Early alchemists gave sulfur its own alchemical symbol which was a triangle at the top of a cross. In the late 1770s, Antoine Lavoisier helped convince the scientific community that sulfur was an element and not a compound. In 1867, sulfur was discovered in underground deposits in Louisiana and Texas. The overlying layer of earth was quicksand, prohibiting ordinary mining operations. Therefore the Frasch process was utilized.
