THE PRESENT INVENTION RELATES TO AN IMPROVED METHOD OF PRILLING SULFUR FOR TRANSPORTING IN A PIPELINE WITH A MINIMUM OF SULFUR PRECIPITATION AND ADHERENCE TO THE INTERNAL PARTS OF THE PIPELINE SYSTEM. THE IMPROVEMENT COMPRISES THE PRILLING OF SULFUR INTO A POLYHYDROXY COMPOUND OR AQUEOUS MIXTURES THEREOF TO FORM A PROTECTIVE COATING ON THE SURFACES THEREOF TO INHIBIT THE DEGRADATION CAUSED BY THE PHYSICAL TREATMENT GIVEN SAME BY THE MOVEMENT THROUGH THE PIPELINE AS WELL AS THE CHEMICAL ATTACK BY THE CARRIER FLUID.
