extraction of sulphur frasch process

Principle - Sulphur has a low melting point of about 112 o C - 115 o..

In Louisiana (USA) and Gulf of Mexico large sulphur deposits occur at a depth of about 300-400 metres below the earth's surface. Layers of soft sand, clay and rocks over these sulphur beds make it practically impossible to extract sulphur from the deposits. ..

Large deposits of natural sulphur are found is Sicily and Louisiana. It is extracted by two processes. (i) Sicilian process (ii) Frasch process..

Sulphur is extracted from underground deposits by pumping superheated steam (-440 K) down the beds to melt the element and then blowing out the molten sulphur with compressed air. This process is known as Frasch process..

Silver is extracted from the ore-argentite (Ag 2 S). The process of extraction of silver is called as cyanide process as sodium cyanide solution is used. The ore is crushed, concentrated and then treated with sodium cyanide solution. This reaction forms sodi..

The aqueous solution of the compound (to be extracted) is taken in a separating funnel. A small quantity of a suitable organic solvent is added to this. The separating funnel is stoppered and the contents are shaken for some time. The funnel is then allowed to stand undisturbed on a trip..
