Abstract

The Palaeogene coal deposits occur in three coalfields in the Banten Province, which are distributed in Bayah, Cihideung and Cimandiri. The Bayah coals (Eocene Bayah Formation) mainly comprise vitrinite and subordinate inertinite and are of sub-bituminous A to high volatile bituminous A ranks (0.60-0.79%). The Cihideung coals (Eocene Bayah Formation) are of sub-bituminous A to medium volatile bituminous ranks (0.53-1.23%) and composed mainly of vitrinite. The Cimandiri coals (Oligocene Cijengkol Formation) are composed of variable proportions of vitrinite in the main and inertinite in very minor amounts. The rank of the coals is sub-bituminous A and high volatile bituminous A varying between 0.64% and 0.83% in vitrinite reflectance. Evaluation of these coals indicates that they tend to have similar coal petrographic properties and were formed in a littoral-neritic environment. Some of the coals, especially the Cihideung coals, show the highest vitrinite content and higher rank (0.99-1.23%), which is high A-medium volatile bituminous, due to an intrusive activity. Most of the coals have high contents of mineral matter (pyrite), mainly in the Bayah coals (2-13%), and this indicates that the coals were influenced by marine incursion during their deposition.

Abstract

Type and rank variations of Lebak coals were derived from twenty-eight samples of Palaeogene coalfield (Bayah, Cimandiri and Cihideung) and Neogene coalfields (Bojongmanik) using petrographic analy- ses. The Lebak coals are dominated by vitrinite, liptinite and minor inertinite and mineral matter as well. The coal type, in terms of maceral and mineral compositions, reflects climatic influences and differences in peat conditions. Higher vitrinite reflectance of Palaeogene coals, compared to Neogene ones, is a result of higher regional coalification level in the basin, associated with greater cover and local effect of igneous intrusion. The Palaeogene coals have better quality than the Neogenes and is also supported by higher specific energy. The coals that are vitrinite-rich, liptinite and inertinite-poor are suitable for direct combustion.

Abstract

Low rank coal (LRC) that constitutes more than 65% of the national coal resources has to be utilized optimally in order to achieve the security of domestic energy supply and an optimum mix of primary energy consumption by the year 2025. The LRC can be upgraded to higher rank coal, both for export and domestic use, particularly for existing industries. Upgraded Brown Coal (UBC) process is one of the best upgrading technologies that can be implemented. Moreover, the low cost production of LRC and the availability of infrastructures would be the more attractive for UBC commercialization. Based on the coal quality specification recommended in this paper, the total moisture of the LRC varies from25.33 to 57.89% (typical 35 - 40%, as received/ar) and its calorific value ranges from 2,504 to 4,900 kcal/kg (typical 3,000 - 4,000 kcal/kg, ar). The ash content of the recommended LRC is less than 10% (typical <5%, dry basis/db) and the sulphur content is typical <0.5% (db). The LRC located in East and South Kalimantan is more attractive for UBC commercialization compared to LRC located in South Sumatera. Most of the LRC in South Sumatera is located far inland that makes the transporta- tion cost for UBC equipment and product become expensive.

Abstract

Type and rank variation within Tertiary Barito coals of Tanjung Formation were analyzed by petro- graphic examination of ten coal samples. Vitrinite, common liptinite and rare inertinite and mi-neral matter dominate all the coals. Vitrinite macerals are dominated by detrovitrinite and telovitrinite. Resinite, cutinite and sporinite are the dominant liptinite macerals in the coals. Inertinite macerals in the coals comprise semifusinite, sclerotinite and inertodetrinite. Mineral matter consists mainly of clay and pyrite. Liptinite and inertinite contents within coals are systematically related to vitrinite content. The liptinite and inertinite contents decrease with increase of vitrinite content. The liptinite content is not related to the inertinite content. Vitrinite reflectance of Palaeogene coals ranges from 0.53% to 0.64% or sub-bituminous to high-volatile bituminous ranks, respectively, as classified by the Australian standards, and of the Neogene ones varies between 0.30% and 0.47%, classified as brown coal and sub-bituminous ranks, respectively. The slight change in vitrinite reflectance from the top to the base of the sequence is due to the thicker cover/overburden on the high rank coals. Similarities and differ- ences in the type and rank of the coals reflect their geological setting.
