Abstract

Identification of acid mine drainage (AMD) can be predicted using a geochemical and mineralogy characterization approach to identify rocks forming and neutralizing acids. Geochemical characterization using static and kinetic tests. The static test is the first step to determining the potential for acid formation in rocks by comparing the potential for forming and neutralizing acids, which are characterized by uncertain behavior that causes predictions to be inaccurate. Kinetic tests were carried out to predict the long-term acid-producing potential better. Furthermore, mineralogical characterization is needed to assess the importance of sample mineral content in predicting AMD. Tests were conducted on rock samples from high sulfidation epithermal (HSE) deposits in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The samples represent the different geological domain conditions found in HSE deposits. The main acid-producing components are pyrite and secondary minerals (alunite) capable of buffering acidity. The results showed a lower change in leachate pH (from day 30 to 180) and were accompanied by the release of species (high dissolved metals).

Abstract

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is formed due to the oxidation of sulfide minerals in the presence of water and air. AMD already entering the environment can damage the aquatic ecosystem due to low pH and high dissolved metal concentrations. Efforts to prevent the formation of AMD are by regulating the stockpiling of materials containing sulfide or potential acid forming (PAF) with non-acid forming (NAF) to avoid oxidation reactions of sulfide minerals. The purpose of this study was to simulate the effect of adding fly ash ratio as a PAF rock coating material to the quality characteristics of leachate using the laboratory-scale free draining column leach test (FDCLT) method. Adding fly ash ratio as a layering material significantly affects the quality of the resulting leachate. This is due to the physical condition of the fly ash material, which cannot prevent the meeting of AMD-forming components.

Abstract

Open pit mining is an extensively-used method in Indonesian coal mining. This method is characterized by the formation of mine void at the end of life-of-mine (LOM) due to insufficient material to backfill the mine-out areas. Mine voids are legally accepted as one of mine closure options and categorized as “Reklamasi Bentuk Lain” - a miscellaneous reclamation option (Decree of Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources/KepMen ESDM No.1827, 2018), However, unmanageable voids will exert negative impacts. The identification and mapping of mine voids spatially are imperative to give stakeholders ample information to construct viable mine voids management and benefit all stakeholders. In this research, Sentinel 2 satellite image data is used for land monitoring so that void can be mapped based on land cover classification. The land cover classification was carried out based on the Object-based Image Analysis (OBIA) method. This method has a good level of accuracy, ranging from 86.1 to 96.4%. Based on the land cover classification, potential voids are analyzed based on their shape, where potential voids have elongation values of 0.2-1.0 and circularity of 0.1-0.8. In addition, potential voids are analyzed based on the location where they are found (referred to as the Mining License Area/WIUP data). In 2018 there were 40 potential voids inside WIUP and 5 potential voids outside WIUP, while in 2020, 62 potential voids inside WIUP and 8 potential voids outside WIUP were identified in the study area. The final result of potential mine void, i.e. mine void-1 could not further be distinguished between mine sumps, voids, or mine ponds without additional data and analysis. On the other hand, mine void-2 could not be further assigned as natural water bodies or mine void from illegal activities. Subsequent studies using more elaborated data, processes, and analysis are important, to enhance the accuracy of void mapping using satellite images.
