can you seperate sulfur from a concentrate?

[knubs]

well guys I messed up. I sprayed with bonide sulfur spray at week 2 in flower. The crop is done and I blasted the trim only to find that after purging the product taste badly like sulfur. Now I am wondering if I can winterize with a buchner funnel or something to save it? I just got a buchner in the mail, but I wanted some input. This was suppose to be my personal shatter and I just want it to be safe to smoke... I never used the sulfur spray before and I already threw it away now

thank you for any and all input.

Sulfur is polar and can be removed with chromatography beads

I looked up chromatography and did a little reading on it. Do you think it would be cost effective to do this at home for 4 oz of oil? If so what type of solvent would you use with it?

I'm just curious, but if sulfur is polar why couldn't I remove any of it by water curing the trim before blasting? I had a stash of fresh frozen trim that I was saving for ice wax, but I ended up thawing and water curing that and then blasting it, but the sulfur is still there.

It's insoluble in water, but soluble in most other things. Sulfur has low solubility in cold hexane - winterization in that might help, but I wouldn't count on it.

Sulfur reacts with bases, and THCA dissolves in them - THC usually does not - so after trying the hexane winterizing precipitation, personally I'd try decarboxylation then dissolving in hexane, shaking with a concentrated - hazardous - solution of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide in water, discarding the water, repeating, shaking with clean water several times until it's no longer alkaline and discarding those washes, then evaporating the hexane. Won't be shatter though.

We used hexane.
