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.
I'm not sure that it's a regularly used method, but since iron is magnetic and sulfur isn't, you could use a magnet to pick up the iron filings.
One way is to use a magnet
You could use a magnet - if you have one!
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.
Use a magnet to lift out the iron filings.

Use a magnet to extract the iron from the sulfur.
you use a magent
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 and sulfur can be separated using a magnet- the iron will be attracted to the magnet, sulfur will not. Not the that the iron could be coated with sulfur powder so an extra step is required to remove it.

Because it works extremely well.
Magnetism - the filing would be attracted to a magnet, the sulfur would not. You could also use melting point. Sulfur will melt at 115.21 °C, (239.38 °F) while iron won't melt until 1538 °C (​2800 °F). Of course once it melts you wouldn't have powdered sulfur any more - you'd have liquid 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.
Yes you can. Since the iron filings are magnetic, but sulphur is not - you can use a magnet to separate the two elements.
