Abstract

ABSTRACTDetermination of element contents in fly ash from the coal power plant industry at Java Island has been performed by the method of Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA). Fly ash was sampled at Electrostatic Precipitator (EP) outlet by using isokinetic probe. Collected fly ash was mixed for 2 minutes and dried using oven at temperature of 105ºC for 2 hours. Fly ash and NIST Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1633b Coal Fly ash were put into polyethylene vials of 0.273 mL with various weights of 11.01-11.24 mg, 16.94-17.34 mg and 29.97-30,27 mg respectively according to the time of irradiation. The samples were put in polyethylene capsules and then irradiated at Rabbit System of Siwabessy Multipurpose Reactor of BATAN at the Power of 15 MW (flux of neutron was 1013 n.cm-2.s-1) for 1 minute (short irradiation), 15 minutes (middle), and 3 hours (long). The content of elements in these samples was then measured by using gamma spectrometer with HPGe detector of Canberra and was analyzed with Genie 2000 and Maestro shoftwares. The result showed that fly ash from coal power plant contained mayor elements : Mg, Al, Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Sr and Na with the concentrations of 5,572 - 20,636 mg/kg; 36,353 -140,972 mg/kg; 27,729 - 144,296 mg/kg; 3,680 - 7,325 mg/kg; 624 - 9,515 mg/kg; 62,454 - 114,325 mg/kg,  628.0 - 1.775 mg/kg and 995.0 - 12,640 mg/kg;  and minor elements detected were Se, Cs, Zn, V, Cr, Hg, Th, Sc, As, Sr, U, Co, Nd, Hf, Rb, Sb and La at the concentrations of 2.94-76.5 mg/kg.

Abstract

Coal-fired power plants not only generate electricity but also produce coal ash containing naturally occurring radionuclides, which may pose radiological hazards to workers and nearby residents. This study aimed to assess the radiological risks associated with natural radionuclides present in coal ash and surrounding soil near PT Sugar Labinta, Lampung. To achieve this, samples of fly ash, bottom ash, and soil were systematically collected, and the specific activities of radionuclides radium-226, thorium-232, and potassium-40 were measured using gamma-ray spectrometry with High-Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors. These measurements served as the basis for evaluating potential radiation hazards. The results showed that the gamma index values for fly ash (zero point seven seven seven), bottom ash (zero point three seven zero), and soil (zero point five one four) were all below the safety threshold (gamma index less than or equal to one), indicating low levels of gamma radiation and minimal radiological risk. Similarly, the external hazard index values ranged from zero point one two six to zero point six zero five, remaining under the recommended limit (external hazard index less than or equal to one). However, several samples, particularly fly ash (up to ninety-nine point zero two five nanogray per hour) and soil (up to sixty-five point five one one nanogray per hour), had absorbed dose rates exceeding the global average set by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR). While most soil samples had annual effective dose equivalents below the standard limit of zero point zero seven millisievert per year, fly ash exceeded this value, signaling the need for continued monitoring, especially in residential areas near the power plant chimney. These findings suggest that coal ash and soil around PT Sugar Labinta generally present a low radiological risk. However, ongoing monitoring is essential to detect and mitigate potential long-term exposures. The study contributes valuable data for environmental radiation assessments and supports the implementation of effective radiological protection strategies in coal-fired power plant areas.
