Method of producing micron sized sulphur granules

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method of producing micron sized sulphur granules involving the following described steps. Firstly heating, sulphur until the sulphur becomes molten. Secondly heating, water and inducing movement of the heated water at velocity. Thirdly injecting an unbroken stream of the molten sulphur under pressures in excess of 500 p.s.i. into the heated water moving at velocity. An explosive dispersion of the molten sulphur into fine sulphur granules occurs enhanced by shear, forces exerted by the movement of the heated water at velocity. The described method is capable of producing spherical sulphur granules of less than 45 microns. In the preferred ranges spherical sulphur granules of less than 10 …
