Sulphur-bearing solvent passes via conduit 16 to crystalliser 20 from which sulphur is conveyed via vaporising unit 20c to hopper 24. Solvent reutilisation is effected by recovery from 12c, 20c and 20a, and passage via conduits 13b, 15 and 25 to conduits 27, 16 which feed solvent to sections 12b, 20b.
