I definitely went into a blind spot while doing this since I already have lab-grade sulfur, should have been more thoughtful when I was doing it, considering amateur may not have access to lab-grade chemicals.
oh yes, I subscribed without even thinking, video very well made. I have to go to building store for xylenes, and purify further my sulfur which is already 99,9% pure... hehe
Wonderful video. The editing is amazing, and the cinematography throughout the video is great. I loved the memes throughout the video. It is also refreshing to see the references in the description.
Hello! I don't know what you're up to, but I think you have a lot of potential to become a good chemtuber if you keep up the good work. I understand that setting the light in a studio is not at all the same as setting the light in a fume hood when you are filming Dangerous reactions. But I would really like to see it.🔥 I subscribed and will follow.
The lighting setup inside a fumehood is definitely much more challenging, the glass reflection is especially hard to deal with. I watched a lot of your videos, I always have that one question in my mind, how do you gain access to that many exotic chemicals and filming equipment? The slow-mo shots in the vodka video were phenomenal!
The only problem k have with this process is what to do with the contaminated xylene. You can attempt to recover as much xylene as you can through distillation, but sulphur likes to distill over with it. So I'm not sure what to do with it as waste. Also,of you lack a proper lab refrigerator, you can use a camping cooler with ice.
I usually prefer to reuse the xylene for another batch of recrystallization as I often do this. I never tried distilling the xylene to recover though because it is fairly cheap, I will definitely want to try this procedure though, probably when I gather enough xylene. I don't think sulfur will likely distill together though with xylene, as they have significantly different b.p., do you by any chance have sources describing this issue? Btw, good suggestions for using a camping cooler as a refrigerator replacement!
@@DangerousLab my experience with sulphur carrying over is in trying to precipitate sulphates in aqueous solution, then distilling the water. You don't get much but there's always a faint sulphur or sulphide smell in the distillate. The concentration is low enough to safely pour down the sink, but it's not zero. I haven't tried the smell test with xylene because, it's xylene. I don't have any references because...well I'm not educated as a chemist.
I did not check the melting point after the recrystallization as the original source was already lab grade, this experiment is more the demonstration side of the recrystallization techniques and the difference between alpha and beta sulfur. I usually only check for melting point for synthesized compounds with questionable purity.
Good video, but it would have been more impressive if you had given Doug of Doug's Lab credit in your video for doing this exact same demonstration eight years ago.
I did include Doug's video and Thoisoi2's video in the description as they did similar experiment, however since my main emphasis is on the solubility of sulfur in different solvents and the choice of solvents, so I decided to included those papers as main focus instead and videos as reference only.
I made it with 10mm carbon fibre rods and clamps, aluminium rods should work as well. Alternatively, you can search for "Lab lattice" online, there are many variants out there, but I haven't tried any of those so I am not sure about their quality.
😂 I was taught to spell "Sulphur" in the past, but it is for non-scientific context only, "Sulfur" is however standardized for across all scientific journal nowadays. PS. You can see that I am still using "Aluminium" since it is not yet standardized.

This is so good! its so nice to see a chemistry channel that actually explains what they are doing and why
Thanks for your comment! Glad my editing and explaining style was helpful.
Umm have you seen more chemtubers? All of them explain everything...
Even the timelaps at start is a real masterpiece, well done Sir!
Appreciated for your comment!
I will publish the extended version of timelapse this weekend, feel free to check it out if you are interested.
Yay! I found a new chemistry channel .. Wish you a lot of success.
Welcome aboard!
This is very good quality like incredible quality, you have great editing skills too remember me when you're up in the millions
Thanks! Will do!
I agree with you. I Subscribed to this channel while watching this video. I don’t know his stock of chemicals and ideas, but it looks very promising!
@ChemicalForce Oh, hey, chem force subbed to you too
I want to see you do this with impure sulfur. I've seen ~92% pure hardware sulfur try to be dissolved in hot xylene and it was a huge mess.
I definitely went into a blind spot while doing this since I already have lab-grade sulfur, should have been more thoughtful when I was doing it, considering amateur may not have access to lab-grade chemicals.
The production, explanation, and overall presentation is impeccable. ❤
Thank you for your comment!

Thanks for subscribing! I often do experiments simply because they are just fun to watch too!
Wonderful video. The editing is amazing, and the cinematography throughout the video is great. I loved the memes throughout the video. It is also refreshing to see the references in the description.
Thanks, I include reference as much as possible to save people some time in case they need those information themselves.
I like this video. The editing is awesome. This is a good way to provide some infographics or tips during the video.
I appreciate that!
Great videography! I apprectiate your pragmatic information showcasing, looking forward to new uploads
I totally recognize that scale. I think we all have the same type!

Well, filming equipment is easy to buy, unlike chemicals.🥲
Very nice editing! Subscribed, can't wait for the next video
Thanks for the sub!
Just when I think about doing this, a video pops up. It's great stuff!
Glad it helps!
hello yes I have subscribed love your videos cant wait for more :3
Thanks for subbing!
This really looks amazing, information and editing is top notch
Glad you liked it!
Please continue, you are very good. Can't wait to see more videos about purification of elements on your channel!
Thanks! There will be more to come, although they are probably more generic chemistry video and not just purification of elements.
Still, I can't wait@@DangerousLab

@@nunyabisnass1141 I will note this down and check it back next time I distill it, thanks.
@@DangerousLab thank you, I'm interested in seeing the results as well.
Probably the safest thing to do with the leftover xylene is to burn it outside.
Really good video! Love the editing!
Glad you enjoyed!
I like the style of your presentation.
Thanks!
masterpiece
Thanks!
Is it already pure? how's the melting point after purification?
I did not check the melting point after the recrystallization as the original source was already lab grade, this experiment is more the demonstration side of the recrystallization techniques and the difference between alpha and beta sulfur.
I usually only check for melting point for synthesized compounds with questionable purity.
Beautiful
Thank you!

What impurities are you purging in the filtrate?
For my run, there's nothing to filter, but for most garden sulfur, there will be insoluble impurities including some binders or clay etc.
Good video, but it would have been more impressive if you had given Doug of Doug's Lab credit in your video for doing this exact same demonstration eight years ago.

♥️
Wow sheesh your editing really puts mine to shame. What program do you use for editing?
Please don't be shameful at all, your videos are very entertaining and informative as well!
I use Davinci Resolve for all the editing.
@@DangerousLab huh i use DaVinci resolve too... ill have to learn how to do that stuff with text. your video gives me alot of ideas thanks.
Nummer 100 :D
Nice!
I want a lab rack like yours, where did you get it

It's spelt SULPHUR!!!

@@DangerousLabdon't let the yanks take over! 😂
@@BooksAndShitButNotLiterallyhey hey hey now! Merica! You're welcome.... lol
