sulfuration
Adding brimstone chemically
Sulfuration is the process of treating or combining something with sulfur.
The term appears in industrial and chemical contexts: vulcanizing rubber, preserving wine, or bleaching textiles.
The sulfuration of the wine prevents oxidation.
Also spelled sulphuration in British English.
