Burn it and collect the resultant soot?
sparky (~_~)

Oxidise it with radon tetroxide, and collect the carbon dioxide formed. Then reduce the carbon dioxide with francium metal.
OTC method that I just invented!

With the aid of experimentation and complex algebra, I have devised an alternate method.
Adding Sulfuric acid to Sugar will dehydrate it, leaving crude carbon. This method of MINE is pure genious 
.
Now I can make da boms from blackpouwder!!

'your' method (dehydrating) is something stone-old, nothing with algebra........

kazaa, he was sarcacstic about inventing charing sugar with H2SO4. Don't spoil the fun messing with kewls!
rogerf, collecting carbon from acetic acid is about as smart as buring pyridine to get nitrogen and nitrogen oxides!

If we would be exepensive, i think which one could heat a diamond to more than 3000°C to get graphite or standard carbon from it....

3500° i think, but at this temp ±500° is no big deal
