Abstract

At Selo Gajah Hill, Jari Village, Gondang Sub-district, Bojonegoro Regency, East Java there are limestone intruded by porphyritic andesite. The intrusion produces contact metamorphisms in the wall rocks. It is very interesting to study the protolith rock, facies of metamorphism and the zonation of contact metamorphism aureole. This research uses field observation method and laboratory analysis i.e. petrographic analysis. Field observation is conducted by doing geological mapping in the Bukit Selo Gajah area and rock sampling for petrographic analysis. Petrographic analysis aims to describe the texture of the rocks and the percentage of minerals, which will be used to determine the protolith rock, metamorphism facies and the determination of contact metamorphism zone. The lithology found in Mount Selo Gajah from oldest to youngest are clastic limestone with intercalation of marl, marl with intercalation of sandstone, porphyritic andesite intrusions, hornfels, and pyroclastic breccia. Metamorphic rocks on Selo Gajah Hill is the product of contact metamorphism of carbonate rock which was intruded by porphyritic andesite intrusion. The metamorphism facies found in the research area are hornblende hornfels and pyroxene hornfels with the protolith rock is carbonate rocks. Metamorphism zone in Selo Gajah Hill is divided into two zones: The zone closest to the intrusion body is vesuvianite zone or idiocrase zone with a radius of 40-140 m from the outer part of the intrusion body and the monticellite zone with radius ranging from 25 to 75 m from the outside of the vesuvianite zone.

Abstract

The use of cement materials in construction continues to increase every year, consumes lots of raw material and emits CO2 from clinker production. To eliminate this negative effect, alternative materials are needed. Trass is natural pozzolan which is formed from silica-alumina rich volcanic rocks. As supplementary cementitious material, trass is sufficiently durable and reduce clinker proportion in cement mixture, thus more environmentally friendly. This research aims to determine characteristics and composition of Kedondong trass and Bobos trass, Cirebon, West Java as raw material for pozzolan cement. The study was conducted using petrography and XRD analysis to determine mineralogy of rocks. XRF analysis was carried out to determine chemical composition as well as other tests to determine trass quality. Kedondong trass is originated from andesite intrusion and andesitic breccia, while Bobos trass is formed from hypersthene-andesite intrusion. Based on mineralogy analysis, trasses have similar mineral composition consist of plagioclase, quartz, pyroxene, hornblende, and sanidine. XRD analysis shows abundance of cristobalite and tridymite from each samples. This mineralogy is confirmed by geochemistry result, which is the samples contain more than 70% SiO2 + Al2O3 and less than 4% SO3. Other chemical characteristics that have been tested are moisture content, ignition loss, and clay content in which all of those parameters meet the industrial standard for cement material.
