Thio refers to a chemical, commonly an ion, where an oxygen atom in the compound is replaced by a sulfur ion. All chemicals where an oxygen ion is replaced by sulfur ion are known as thiochemicals. A reaction in which oxygen is converted to sulfur is called as thiation or thionation. It includes thiourea, thiosulphate etc. It is used as polymerization agents and anti-cocking agents as well as for gas leakage detection, etc.  In oil & gas industry, thiochemicals, for ...
