Dear Wissem,

You can wash the material with CS2 (Carbon Disulfide) which is inert to other materials but dissolves out Sulphur. That will remove Sulphur as impurity from your parent material.

Hope this helps!

Thanks dear Sayan

Thanks dear Sayan.

What is the best concentration that can totally dissolve the sulfur and also the heated temperature.

The CS2 is very toxic, there are others product less harmful and dissolve the S.

Kind regards

Dear Wissem,

You can try out some organic solvents that can dissolve sulphur like Benzene and Toluene. These are less toxic but will be required more in amount. Sulphur is readily soluble in CS2 but is comparatively less soluble in Benzene and Toluene. Nevertheless, you can dissolve out Sulphur in Benzene and Toluene. For the concentration, you need to perform volumetric (molar) calculation. It depends on the strength of the CS2 solution (whether the solvent is diluted with water or used raw) and accordingly you need to calculate the volume of solution required to dissolve the Sulphur based on the amount of Sulphur content in your material.

Hope this will help you.

Dear Sayan,

Does Carbon Tetrachloride and Sulfur Dioxide can dissolve sulfur.
