Abstract

This study investigated the carbonation potential of peridotite from the Kolaka Ultramafic Complex in Sulawesi, Indonesia, for carbon capture and storage (CCS) applications. Peridotites, particularly those enriched in magnesium, are known for their high reactivity with CO?, forming stable mineral carbonates. However, the Kolaka region’s peridotites have not been thoroughly assessed for their carbonation prospects. This research addresses this gap by examining the petrology, geochemistry, and physical-magnetic properties of peridotite, focusing on its serpentinization and carbonation characteristics. An integrated approach applying petrographic analysis, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Schmidt hammer, and magnetic susceptibility tests, was used to determine the mineral composition, specifically the carbonation minerals, and the changes in the physical properties of the rocks during carbonation. The results showed that the peridotites, particularly serpentinized lherzolites, exhibit high carbonation potential characterized by the abundance of magnesium-rich olivine-pyroxene minerals. Carbonation reactions are characterized by the presence of magnesite and brucite, leading to significant changes in rock strength and magnetic susceptibility. Carbonation occurs by an advanced serpentinization process, which increased mineral reactivity and leads to reducing uniaxial compressive strength (UCS). Additionally, magnetic susceptibility exhibits positive correlation with serpentinization, accompanied by magnetite formation. These findings suggest that Kolaka's serpentinized peridotite, as mining waste, is a viable candidate for CO? storage. The ex-situ carbonation mechanism allows Kolaka's fine-grained peridotite to capture CO?, while also improving nickel ore recovery, minimizing dust, neutralizing acid mine drainage, and enhancing soil quality.

Abstract

This community service program aims to enhance the understanding of Geology Engineering students at Universitas Sulawesi Tenggara regarding environmentally sustainable mining practices. The education was delivered through lectures, interactive discussions, and local case studies relevant to mining activities in Southeast Sulawesi. These methods were chosen to encourage active participation and ensure the materials were contextually relevant to the students’ local environment and future professional field. The results indicate that students gained new insights into the implementation of good mining practice, post-mining reclamation, and mining and environmental regulations, which fostered greater awareness of the environmental and social impacts of mining. In addition, the program facilitated critical thinking and encouraged students to analyze real-world mining problems from a sustainability perspective. Consequently, this program not only improved students’ environmental literacy but also developed a sense of responsibility and commitment to supporting sustainable mining practices. It is expected that the knowledge gained will influence their future decisions as professionals in the mining sector, promoting a more sustainable and responsible industry.

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman mahasiswa Teknik Geologi Universitas Sulawesi Tenggara mengenai pertambangan berwawasan lingkungan. Edukasi diberikan melalui penyuluhan, diskusi interaktif, dan studi kasus lokal yang relevan dengan kondisi pertambangan di Sulawesi Tenggara. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa memperoleh wawasan baru terkait penerapan good mining practice, reklamasi pascatambang, serta regulasi pertambangan dan lingkungan, sehingga kesadaran kritis mereka terhadap dampak lingkungan dan sosial dari pertambangan semakin meningkat. Dengan demikian, kegiatan ini tidak hanya menambah literasi lingkungan mahasiswa, tetapi juga membentuk sikap peduli dan tanggung jawab dalam mendukung praktik pertambangan yang berkelanjutan.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of bedrock on nickel (Ni) content in laterite deposits in the Lameruru Region, Langgikima District, North Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The research area is dominated by ultramafic rocks, which are potential sources of laterite nickel. The study employs literature review, field surveys for lithological data collection and representative sampling, petrographic analysis to determine mineral composition and rock types, and geochemical analysis using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) to determine nickel content in the rocks. The results show that the bedrock in the study area consists of harzburgite and olivine pyroxenite. Harzburgite, occupying approximately 72.72% of the area, is composed of 54-78% olivine, 15-45% orthopyroxene, 6% clinopyroxene, and accessory minerals, while olivine pyroxenite, occupying about 27.28% of the area, is composed of 27% olivine, 49% orthopyroxene, 17% serpentine, and 7% spinel. Geochemical analysis reveals that harzburgite has higher Ni content (0.10-0.16%) compared to olivine pyroxenite (0.03-0.10%). The distribution of Ni in the bedrock and saprolite is directly proportional, with higher Ni content in harzburgite in both zones. The study concludes that the type of bedrock greatly influences the nickel content in laterite deposits, with harzburgite having a higher Ni content due to its higher percentage of olivine minerals, which are the main hosts of nickel in ultramafic rocks.
