To retrieve the iron just use a magnet. To retrieve the sulphur just put the remaining mixture in water and dissolve it. Then using a filter paper filter the solution, the sulphur which is not soluble will remain on the filter paper and to retreive the sugar from the solution just re-crystallize it.

1. Extract iron with an electromagnet or magnet.
2. Put the mixture of sulfur and sugar in water and stir. Sulfur is not soluble.
3. Filter the suspension.
4. Sulfur remain on the filter.
5. Slowly heat the solution up to the evaporation of all water to obtain crystallized sugar.

How do you separate sulfur sand iron filings?

Iron fillings has the property of being magnetic, so you could pass it through a magnetic drum to remove it leaving sulfur and sand. Since sulfur is a solute it will dissolve in water leaving sand and forming a solution. You can then pass that through a filter separating the sand and the solution containing water and sulfur. Now you can put the solution in an evaporating basin to evaporate the water leaving the sulfur.
