Le soufre présent dans les carburants affecte les performances et la durabilité de nombreux dispositifs de traitement des gaz d'échappement et systèmes embarqués de diagnostic montés sur les véhicules à essence ou diesels, qu'il s'agisse de voitures ou de camions. L'abaissement de la teneur en soufre contribue à réduire les émissions d'oxyde d'azote, d'hydrocarbures, de particules et de monoxyde de carbone produites par tous les véhicules. Les émissions de particules ultra-fines et en particulier de benzène, préoccupantes pour la santé, sont étroitement liées à la teneur en soufre des carburants. 3, record 11, French, - carburant%20%C3%A0%20basse%20teneur%20en%20soufre

... Gulf Canada Resources Inc. has pioneered the way toward industry acceptance of a process-sulphur prilling... The prilling process forms sulphur into beads, two to three mm in diameter, by spraying molten sulphur downward from the top of a tower into a countercurrent stream of cool air. As the sulphur cools it forms pellets which resist dusting and, because of their small size but high density, are easy to handle and ship. 1, record 17, English, - sulphur%20prilling
