Use a magnet to filter it out. Put the magnet in a plastic bag so the powder does not stick to the magnet directly. Put the powder into some water and the iron with sink and then you can get the sulphur first and then the iron.
Added:
The other possibility is to dissolve sulphur powder in Carbon disulphide ( CS2 ).
The only disadvantage is, that this water immiscible fluid is rather stinky (rotten cauliflower) and highly flammable.

∙ 11y agoI would use an electromagnet. Spread the mixture out on something, turn on the magnet and move it over the mixture to pick up the iron. Then hold the magnet over a container, turn it off, and the iron will fall into the container.

∙ 13y agobring a magnet close to the mixture and iron will stick to it. It is a pain to get off of the magnet so it may be better to do through a sheet of paper

Iron (along with cobalt and nickel but no other elements) is magnetic and will be attracted to the magnet. The sulfur will be left behind.

What liquid can be used to separate mixture of iron filings and sulfur?
Carbon disulfide can be used to separate a mixture of iron filings and sulfur. This is because carbon disulfide can be used to dissolve sulfur, thus leaving you with the iron filings.
How could you separate iron and sulfur?
If it is a simple mixture of Fe and S you can use a magnet to separate iron. Of course, the method is not valid for an iron sulphide.
If a mixture of iron filings and sulfur will make the iron and sulfur atoms combined checically what would that be?
Iron sulfide
Describe how to separate a mixture of iron and sulfur?
Iron powder is attracted by a magnet (so it can be 'drawn' away),Sulfur is dissolved in carbon disulfide (so it can be filtered through, leaving iron behind),But be careful: it is explosive, toxic and stinks (rotten cauliflower)
Is unheated sulfur and iron filings is substance or mixture?
Sulfur and iron filings together are a mixture.
What liquid can be used to separate mixture of iron filings and sulfur?
Carbon disulfide can be used to separate a mixture of iron filings and sulfur. This is because carbon disulfide can be used to dissolve sulfur, thus leaving you with the iron filings.
Why is it easier to separate a mixture of iron and sulfur than to separate a compound of iron and sulfur?
because a mixture is physically combine while a compound is chemically combine thus make is eaiser for the mixture to separate using the technique magnetic separation.
Can Iron filings be separated from a mixture with sulfur by using a magnet?
Yes, a magnet is one way that can be used to separate a mixture of iron filings and sulfur.
Is it possible to separate iron and sulfur after being heated?
No, heating would not separate iron and sulfur.
Which device is used to separate iron dust and sulfur?
magnet is used to seperate iron dust and sulfur dust mixture
What substance can be used to separate a mixture of iron fillings and powdered sulfur?
a magnet
How could you separate iron and sulfur?
If it is a simple mixture of Fe and S you can use a magnet to separate iron. Of course, the method is not valid for an iron sulphide.
How could you separate a mixture of iron fillings and sulfur powder?
Use a magnet to lift out the iron filings.
If a mixture of iron filings and sulfur will make the iron and sulfur atoms combined checically what would that be?
Iron sulfide
What thing can separate sulfur from iron filings except from magnets?
If the mixture is powdered sulfur and iron filings, use a strong electrostatic field. The sulfur will jump to the opposite charge leaving the conductive iron behind. ***************************** Or, you could add carbon disulfide which would dissolve the sulfur.
A mixture of iron filling and sulfur can be easily separated by?
I assume "iron filling" is supposed to mean iron filings? In this case, I would use a magnet to separate the two. The iron filings will stick to the magnet, leaving the sulfur behind.
