sulphurated

Infused with brimstone

Sulphurated means treated, combined, or impregnated with sulphur.

The term appears in chemistry and older pharmaceutical contexts: sulphurated hydrogen, sulphurated potash.

This is the British spelling; American English uses sulfurated.

Both are somewhat dated, with modern usage favoring compounds like "sulfur-containing" or specific chemical names.
