    • The three dimensional Ellingham diagram for the S-H-O system is apparently look like to those diagram for H-O system. The species of O2(g), H2O(g) and H2(g) are the dominant species in addition to the H2O(l) stable state.
    • Stable sulfur containing species are displayed as polyhedron inside the shown polyhedron consisting of O2(g), H2O(g) and H2(g).
    • In order to look into the sulfur containing species, it is necessary to make those polygons of O2(g), H2O(g) and H2(g) transparent.
    • Diagram (c) can be regarded as the Ellingham diagram for sulfur. Here, the borderline btween the dominant species are displayed.
    • The stable region of those dominat species are strongly influenced by the partial pressure of gaseous species.

    • Similar diagrams to above figures can be set up for the C-S-O system. In the oxidative side, similar chemical species become dominant, whereas in the reducing atmosphere, some different features appears.
    • In the C-S-O system, COS and CS2 are the major gaseous species.

      • CHD starts to do the first task of "Malt Direct." in a similar manner.
      • A different point is to change the sequence of the diagram axes.
      • The second (Y) axis of dG(S) should be replaced with dG(C) which appears in the Z axis.
