Sulfur melts at a much lower temperature than sand. That might be useful. Also, there are solvents which will dissolve sulfur but not silicon dioxide. Finally, there's always the magnifying glass and tweezers method.

How do you separate a mixture of sand and iron filings?

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.

Can fractional distillation best separate a mixture of sand and sulfur?

Fractional distillation is not the best separation method for a sand and sulfur mix. It's a very poor choice as it won't work. Use a solvent for the sulfur like dimethyl ether of, say, diethylene glycol. It will take the sulfur into solution and you can wash the solution out of the sand.


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.
