among the magmatic gas release, dissolving rocks, deposition, the
formation of new material, and dissolving back substances - are formed. resulting in lake water is very acidic and contains dissolved material with a very high concentration.In addition, other phenomena resulting crater is certainly sublimate sulfur. Sulfur
resulting from the sublimation gas - sulfur gases contained in sulfur acid temperature of about 200 degrees Celsius, with a
capacity of 8 tons of sulfur per day. Here tourists will meet the sulfur miners who perform daily activities to collect and print sulfur. which turned out to have advantages able to treat skin diseases, as

with pipe sections in order to flush the hot gas decreases and sulfur
sublimes process faster, and take the sulfur that has been frozen with
traditional tools "crowbar", then collected to be transported by the
carrier sulfur usually called bearers.The

sulfur up to 100 kg. the bearer in one day can take up to twice the sulfur.Sulfur which has been transported to the weighing brought in two
places first "cottage Bunder" and the last post "Paltuding", the sulfur
miners traveled from the crater to the last post 3 km.The process of sulfurSulfur
that has been transported and assembled into one in the post Paltuding
then transported by truck to the village Blambangan to do the sorting. This process by heating the whole of sulfur in a large furnace with burning coals. Liquid sulfur will be filtered to separate dirt form of pebbles and shards of wood.Sulfur that is clean in print in accordance with market demand, the mold can be shaped plates or small spheres.
