No, a mixture of sulfur (which dissolves in water) and water would not be considered a suspension. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture where particles are suspended in a liquid but not dissolved, leading to visible particles that settle over time. In this case, the sulfur would dissolve in water rather than form a suspension.
If you are talking the element sulfur, it is not soluble in water so you can just filter it off. A coffee filter would work. If you are talking the sulfide ion, S-2, you treat it withferric chloride to form the solid Fe2S3, which can then be filtered.
Yes, it is possible to separate iron and sulfur after being heated. One common method is using a magnet to separate the iron, as it is magnetic, while the sulfur remains in its powdered form. Another method is to dissolve the mixture in a solvent, filter out the solid sulfur, and then evaporate the solvent to recover the separated components.
When gunpowder is mixed with water and carbon disulfide, the potassium nitrate (KNO3) dissolves in water, sulfur (S) dissolves in carbon disulfide, and charcoal (C) remains insoluble. This separation process can help in analyzing the composition of gunpowder.
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.

First allow the sand to settle by leaving it undisturbed for some time. then filter the water by separating it into a different container. To separate the other finer suspended impurities, load the water with alum and again repeat the above process.

Magnets would remove the iron. sugar is water soluble now you have sulfur and sand mixed. Apply heat sulfur will burn before the sand.
Interesting question, since sulfur will not dissolve or react with water. But if it did, one gallon of a 1/2% (by weight) solution of "sulfur water" would weigh 8.3817 pounds. (There would be about 2/3rds of an ounce of sulfur "dissolved" in the water.)
To separate iron fillings from sulfur, you can use a magnet to attract the iron fillings as they are magnetic and can be easily picked up. Sulfur does not respond to magnets, so the iron fillings can be separated by simply utilizing the magnet.
You can separate the substances through filtering, evaporation, and distillation. For example, if you have salt, powdered sulfur and water combined and you want to separate everything, you would mix it all together. Then put filter paper of a cone tube and pour the mixture over it and into a cup. The sulfur granules would stay on top of the filter paper, while the salt dissolves with the water and is poured through with the water. Boil the water until it evaporates, and all that you are left with is salt.
A "mixture" is a group of several chemicals that have been mixed together in such a way they can be easily separated, usually without altering the state of matter of any of the chemicals. Iron filings and sulfur powder would be a mixture; you can separate the two with just a magnet. Similarly, sand and sulfur powder would be a mixture. Just put it in water; the sulfur will float and the sand will sink.
I would not advise it.
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.
