My attempt to separate elemental sulfur from garden sulfur (video)
I'm still new here, I hope this is the right place to post this (if not please change it).
So I decided to separate some elemental sulfur from the brown garden mixture based on the method described in this thread, but instead of toluene I used xylene (couldn't find toluene pure enough at the time, just xylene).
So I made a video with this method:

A few notes:
-Yes, I know I shouldn't of used a heat source with an open flame when boiling solvents, but I don't have a hotplate (yet).
-The purified sulfur in the image shows some yellow-brown spots, that's because it started to melt when I tried to dry it, as the sulfur was still wet
from xylene, so when I saw that, I just let it in the Sun to dry.
