The ancients referred to hell as a place of fire and burning brimstone. Brimstone was their term for the rotten-egg-smelling gas of sulfur dioxide (SO2). Sulfur is also present in other, less odious forms owing to a series of transforming oxidation-reduction reactions, and in one form or another it is in constant flux between Earth and sky and back again to Earth. This is the sulfur cycle. Technically, the sulfur cycle describes the mineralization of organic sulfur to sulfide, its oxidation to sulfate, and the reduction of sulfate to sulfide, followed by microbial conversion into organic compounds.
