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.
Sulfur and iron filings together are a mixture.
No, the mixture of powdered sulfur and iron filling are not a homogenous mixture, they are a heterogenous mixture.

Iron sulfide
One way is to use a magnet
Yes, a magnet is one way that can be used to separate a mixture of iron filings and sulfur.
Sulfur and iron filings together are a mixture.
Use a magnet to lift out the iron filings.
First, place the sulfur, sand and iron filings in a plastic container. Next, use a magnet to remove the iron filings from the sulfur-sand mixture and surely,the iron filings will connect to the magnet, leaving the sulfur and sand behind.
By using a magnet to separate the iron filings, you'd be left with the sulfur and sand mix. Selecting a solvent for the sulfur will allow you to dissolve the sulfur, and then all you have to do is put the sand in a filter and wash the sulfur through with the solvent.
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.
No, the mixture of powdered sulfur and iron filling are not a homogenous mixture, they are a heterogenous mixture.
Use a magnet to extract the iron from the sulfur.
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.

- Put the mixture in water. - Sodium chloride is soluble, sulfur not. - Filter the liquid. - Sulfur remain on the filter.
