Abstract

Currently, gold processing unit at Pongkor mine processes cyanide-containing waste at the end pipe or known as final process. Due to the increase of environmental awareness from the community, such a process needs to be re-evaluated. This relates to tight regulation regarding safe waste prior to releasing to the nature. Conflicts will arouse when population at surrounding area increases fast. To anticipate such conflicts, the gold processing unit of Pongkor mine proposes a scenario dealing with waste processing improvement from the end pipe process to the whole one. It includes reagent use optimization and waste minimization including its recycle. In situ cyanide detoxification is one of waste minimization processes conducted at Pongkor mine. In terms of comparing which one of the methods is the best in reducing cyanide within wastes, a series of cyanide reduction tests employed Inco’s and Degussa methods at a laboratory scale. To reduce high cyanide concentration of the wastes, the used reagents in Inco’s method include Na2 S2O5, CuSO4.5H2O and pressured by the air while Degussa method applied H2O2 and CuSO4.5H2O. The results from this experiment suggest that Inco’s technology is able to detoxify cyanidation effluents better than that of Degussa technology.

Abstract

Kaolin from Nagreg contains iron mineral particles approximately 0.58 % Fe that cause a grey color of the material . An effort to reduce iron content can be made by applying beneficiation test, using HGMS (High Gradient Magnetic Separator), so the kaolin may become white color and can reach the standard quality for paper industries. A HGMS beneficiation test was conducted at magnetic field strength of 5,000 Gauss. The experi- ments were carried out using variable flow rates of 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 3.5 liter per minute and slurry density of 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5 and 15 % solid. The results of experiments show that the optimum condition with flow rate of 2.5 liters/minute gave the quality of kaolin concentrate with iron content of 0.29 %Fe.

Abstract

The objective of this study is characterizing the zircon sand from Popay of Nanga Pinoh District, West Kalimantan as well as its performance when separated using physical method, i.e., tabling and magnetic separator in terms of obtaining zircon concentrate for making zircon flour. The satisfied requirement of zircon flour will be used for ceramics, refractory and foundry raw materials. Tabling followed by magnetic separator of Popay zircon sand increase zircon content from 43.54 to 65.50%. The content increases to 66.11% when reversing the process, namely started with magnetic separator and then tabling. Mineralogical analysis using optical microscope detected six minerals available within zircon sands. Those are zircon, ilmenite, magnetite, hematite, rutile and quartz while XRD analysis only identified five minerals. Hematite was not distinguished within Popay samples. Chemical analysis of the samples shows that the ZrO2 content within zircon flour is bigger than 65%. Such a figure is categorized as premium class for zircon flour to be used for refractory, ceramics and foundry.
