The Sicilian method was replaced slowly after 1894 by the Frasch process, or American approach. Workers processed the sulfur in the ground by superheating steam through a pipe to melt the sulfur in the ground extracting as it came up. This process led to a much purer form of sulfur, using fewer workers and less waste.
The Anglo-Sicilian company continued to operate but ceased operations as a result of the spread of the new mining method, the Frasch process, that had spread to the United States, which, by drastically lowering the cost of extraction, made the mines of Sicily, to which the method was not applicable due to the different conformation and ...

Sulfur (m.p. 115 °C) melts and flows into the middle tube. Water pressure alone is unable to force the sulfur into the surface due to the molten sulfur's greater density, so hot air is introduced via the innermost tube to froth the sulfur, making it less dense, and pushing it to the surface. [1] The sulfur obtained can be very pure (99.7 - 99.8%).
