Answer / hemant patel
You could first introduce water and then filter the
particulates out. The liquid would be mostly potassium
nitrate since there will be a finite amount of solubility
of the other 2 compounds. Next introduce carbon disulfide
and filter the carbon away from the soluble sulfur. They
would be cleaned up sufficiently enough i would think.
