Abstract
The economic evaluation of the exploration sulfur well depends mainly on the elemental sulfur content
and its associationother factors, so a sample of sulfur rocks extracted by a special excavator for one of
the exploratory wells was studied and in the form of a bore hole rock. The elemental sulfur ratio
reached 12.8% an important ratio in estimating the explored sulfur reservesand through XRD,the
predominant crystalline composition is calcite mineral with hexagonal crystalline form and with a
lesser percentage in orthorhombic crystal sulfur this supports one of the theories that explained the
formation of sulfur.
Also, the mineMishraqsulfur extracted by the underground melting method (known as the Frasch
process) was studied chemically, and the elemental sulfur ratio reached 98.58% and the bituminous
material 1.157%. Also, the SEM scanning electron microscope showed the presence of nanotubes of
size (20-44 nm) belonging to the carb-sulfur compounds in the SEM, which are observed for the first
timein this form.
