Question

Give description of extraction of sulphur by Frasch process with labelled diagram?

Answer 1

Extraction of sulphur by Frasch process:
Sulphur is melted underground (with the help of super-heated steam) and pumped upto the surface of the earth. Pumping is done by passing hot compressed air that produces foam of molten sulphur, which rises upwards and is collected in wooden tubs. Sulphur is then converted into solid blocks.
