Abstract

Reverse flotation was adopted for Indonesian iron-rich laterite ore from Pomalaa to float siliceous minerals in the separation of iron mineral. Nickel siliceous mineral such as garnierite is one of the silicate minerals containing in laterite ore that are undesirable and must be eliminated from the ore before used as raw material for iron making industry. Calcine laterite product was obtained from reduction process in rotary kiln for 3 hours at 900 °C by transforming limonite/goethite to magnetite containing Fe 45.6 % and Ni 1.16 %. The reverse flotation tests were focused on the separation of iron mineral from nickel mineral using amine complex, ARMAC-C, a commercially available amine thioacetate as collector. Influences of pulp pH, dosages of collector amine complex and frother, and also solid percent of pulp on the reverse flotation of calcine laterite ore were investigated. The optimal condition was obtained at pH 10, collector 1000 g/t and frother 25 g/t at solid percent of 30%. The test results show that after one-stage rough reverse flotation the concentrate had Fe and Ni grades of 77.5% and 0.5% with recoveries of 57.3% and 33.7%, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to use iron-rich lateritic ore to produce magnetic concentrates by using magnetizing roasting followed by reverse iron flotation.

Abstract

The chemical composition of West Kalimantan bauxite is 45 pct Al2O3 and 16 pct Fe2O3 that has been extracted to produce alumina and bauxite residue (red mud). The residues contains Al2O3 20 pct and Fe2O3 about 37 pct, wich was furthermore processed by roasting or lime-soda sinterization at temperature of 800- 1100°C. The sintered product was leached with sodium carbonate solution to produce soluble sodium aluminate (2NaAlO2). The solution obtained was then precipitated to produce hydrated alumina (Al(OH)3. Hydrated alumina was then sulfateized by adding ammonium hydroxide, and followed by crystallization to produce high purity of ammonium aluminum sulfate crystals (alums). In addition, hydrated alumina was also chlorinated in stoichiometric amount at mol ratio of OH/Al = 0.5 – 1.5 to form polyaluminum chloride (PAC). The residue obtained from leaching was concentrated by 1000 gauss of magnetic separator to produce iron concentrate as a by product. As the results, sulfatation of hydrated alumina with addition of ammonium hydroxide results high grade of ammonium aluminum sulfate (NH4Al(SO4)2 .12H2O) crystals. Chlorination of hydrated alumina in stoichiometric amount at mol ratio of OH/Al = 1.0 results polyaluminum chloride (PAC) that quality is adjacent to the first type of PAC. Through the soda-lime sinter process, it can also produce iron concentrate having grade of 66 % Fe2O3 with 40 % of recovery

Abstract

Commercial biodiesel production nowadays still uses sodium hydroxide solution as homogenous catalyst. This catalyst has some weaknesses, which cannot be reused and difficult on its separation from the product (methyl esther). Therefore, alternative catalyst is necessary to be sought to solve the problem and solid catalyst from clay has a possibility to be applied. Montmorilonite clay is widespread mineral in Indonesia and its layer structure is potential to be used as solid catalyst. The alteration processes consist of upgrading montmorillonite content followed by activation and esterification to review its performance. Previous activa- tion was carried out using aqueous sulphuric acid of 0.05; 0.5; 5 and 10 M and settled in each solution for two weeks. To obtain shorten activation time, modified method has been done with similar acid strength range but using preheating 60°C for 6 hours and settled within a week. Clay’s performance was observed by esterification reaction using Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) of fried oil production waste as raw material. Its initial and final acid number were then reviewed. The conversion of PFAD to esther was measured from deviation of initial of final acid number. Previous method’s result of 2 weeks settlement showed maximum conversion of 91.6% at 5M acid strength of activation, while modified method reached maximum conversion only 67.63% at similar acid strength of activation. Both results were not yet resemble the 5M sulphuric acid solution as homogenous catalyst which is able to convert PFAD to esther as much as 98.73%. However, the method of 2 weeks settlement could be developed further to gain the optimum conversion.
