Data on the solubility of sulfur in organic solvents were needed for the development of the University of California, Berkeley, Sulfur Recovery Process. Sulfur solubility was measured in a variety of poly(glycol ethers), in N,N-dimethylaniline and quinoline, and in mixtures of some of these solvents. Special techniques were developed for making these measurements. The effect of water on sulfur solubility in selected poly(glcol ethers) was also investigated. The results indicate that, of the poly(glycol ether) solvents tested, the best solvents for sulfur are the dimethyl ethers of di(and higher)ethylene glycol.
