⟩ What is the process for separating the components of gunpowder?

First introduce water and then filter the

particulates out. The liquid would be mostly potassium

nitrate since there will be a finite amount of solubility

of the other 2 compounds. Next introduce carbon disulfide

and filter the carbon away from the soluble sulfur. They

would be cleaned up sufficiently enough i would think.
