The influence of the temperature regimes of the granulation 
of sulfur in an aqueous medium on the qualitative characteristics 
of the granules obtained has been experimentally investigated. The 
admissible range of change in the operating parameters of an apparatus 
for granulation of sulfur with the use of water has been determined 
and a dimensionless quantity defining this range has been derived. 
The influence of the heat-transfer regimes on the formation of the 
internal structure of sulfur granules has been numerically investigated 
and the reasons for the dependence of the qualitative characteristics 
of the granules on the temperature conditions of their production 
have been revealed.
