Abstract: A process for producing solid, irregular shaped sulfur nuggets from molten sulfur. The process includes the steps of: gravity flowing molten sulfur at a temperature preferably in the range of about 240.degree.-270.degree. F. to a distributor head positioned closely above or below the surface of a cooling liquid; discharging the molten sulfur from the distributor head in ribbon-shaped streams into a cooling liquid, preferably water, having a temperature in the range of about 170.degree.-190.degree. F.; passing the molten sulfur streams through the cooling liquid until the streams are subdivided and thereafter solidified into nuggets of irregular shape and size; and removing the solid sulfur nuggets from the cooling liquid.
