Guest guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Hi, You might consider using " Wikipedia.org " . The abbreviation/chemical element name for Sulfur (Sulphur) is S Unlike sulfur, bitumen appears to be of organic origin, rather than inorganic. It is a category of organic liquids which are thick, black, and sticky, including but not limited to asphalt and tar two of the most common forms. ..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitumen " Bitumen in the form of asphalt is obtained by fractional distillation of crude oil. Bitumen being the heaviest and being the fraction with the highest boiling point, it appears as the bottommost fraction. " Bitumen in the form of tar is obtained by the destructive distillation of organic matter, usually coal. " Most geoligists agree the naturally occurring deposits of bitumen formed from the remains of ancient, microscopic algae and other once-living things. Some geologists believe that bitumen and other hydrocarbons heavier than methane originally derive from deep inside the mantle of the earth rather than biological sources.
