Now that I have overcome my fear of sulfur dioxide and tested if it would pass through my respirator I noticed that it doesn't, so I decided to
generate lots of it. That's no problem, I've got lots of sulfur to burn, but I don't know how to route the gasses anywhere with what I currently have.
I have:
- lots of hosing
- graphite crucible I could use to burn the sulfur
- plastic cups and containers, all larger than the crucible
- a metal can, larger than the crucible
- a funnel
- lots of many forms of tape
I'm not sure how to make any tight construction, though. For the gas to go into the tubing, I of course have to ensure that, though, so that's my main
problem.
Does anyone have an idea?
Edit: Forgot to mention that I hate damaging containers, so if it would be possible I'd like a method that avoids editing the containers all that
much.

Before I got my distillation set I needed to boil some IPA and wanted to recollect it. What I did was invert the funnel and tape it to the top of my
beaker, ensuring a tight seal. I then attached a tube to the stem of the funnel and led it into a bottle. That may work, I realize this will be a
hassle when it comes time to add more sulfur but it's a thought.

I would think you could draw air and sulfur dioxide through an apparatus with an aspirator.
I have never tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

- Metal can for burning it
- Air pump for feeding air
- Hosing
- Trash bag for collecting it
- Use gash washing flasks in the middle or after if necessary
Depending on what you are gonna use the SO2. I find it easier to figure out a solution to a need than a need for a solution.

if you use an air pump to push air through the system then you will need good seals everywhere,
if you use an air pump to suck air through the system then small air leaks will not allow SO2 to escape.
one consideration is that you need to scrub/capture/fully use the SO2 before it reaches your pump.
or have an SO2-proof pump,
or
consider the pump as a consumable item.
pvc and silicone rubber are compatible with SO2 so you should be able to find a cheap pump that may last quite a long time.
