Not according to Webster:

sul.fate \"s?l-'fÀt\ n : a salt or ester of sulfuric acid

When something is covered with sulfate as in the plates of a lead/acid
battery it is called sulfation.
You and Larry are mixing it up with sulphur! Doh! Note how the acid,
itself, is spelled.

Please don't argue with an expert.

I asked President Bush about this, and you're all wrong. It's
"sulpherizationating."
