Abstract

Thorium dan uranium di Pulau Bangka terdapat di dalam mineral monasit. Secara geologi monasit terbentuk pada  granit tipe S, batupasir serta endapan aluvium.  Di daerah Bangka Barat terdapat beberapa granit tipe S dan aluvium hasil rombakannya sehingga wilayah ini dianggap sebagai wilayah potensial untuk terbentuk cebakan monasit tipe plaser. Granit tipe S dianggap sebagai sumber monasit sedangkan aluvium hasil rombakannya dianggap sebagai tempat berakumulasinya monasit. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui informasi geologi dan potensi sumber daya thorium dan uranium pada endapan aluvium di Bangka Barat. Metoda yang digunakan adalah pemetaan geologi, pengukuran kadar thorium dan uranium batuan, pengambilan sampel batuan granit untuk analisis petrografi, pengambilan sampel mineral berat pada aluvium untuk analisis butir. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa litologi di wilayah Bangka Barat tersusun oleh satuan sekis, satuan metabatupasir, terobosan granit, terobosan diabas, satuan batupasir dan aluvium. Monasit dijumpai pada terobosan granit, satuan batupasir dan aluvium. Sesar yang berkembang adalah sesar-sesar yang berarah relatif barat laut–tenggara, timur laut–barat daya dan barat–timur. Hasil analisis butiran mineral berat menunjukkan persentase monasit rata-rata dalam mineral berat adalah sebesar 6,34%. Mineral lain yang terdapat dalam cebakan plaser dan cukup potensial adalah zirkon 36,65 %, ilmenit 19,67%, dan kasiterit 14,75%.Kata kunci: endapan plaser, aluvium, thorium, uranium, granit, Bangka Barat

Abstract

Penelitian ini dilakukan berdasarkan adanya temuan indikasi mineral radioaktif berupa anomali laju dosis radiasi bernilai relatif tinggi. Hipotesis yang mendasari keberadaan laju dosis radiasi tinggi adalah pengendapan uranium yang berasal dari batuan basal Formasi Auwea, pengkayaan uranium yang berasal dari batugamping pada tanah permukaan, dan pengendapan uranium yang berasal dari penggunaan pupuk pertanian. Penelitian yang  dilakukan bertujuan untuk mendapatkan kesimpulan dari beberapa hipotesis tersebut. Metode penelitian yang diterapkan adalah pemetaan geologi, pengukuran radiometri, kadar uranium (U), thorium (Th), dan potassium (K) di lapangan dengan menggunakan RS 125 untuk mengetahui kadar unsur secara insitu, pengukuran radiometri pupuk tanaman, pengambilan contoh, dan analisis kadar unsur di laboratorium. Berdasarkan hasil analisis dan evaluasi data survei diketahui bahwa di daerah sekitar Maryendi, Darmapis, dan Denafi, terindikasi adanya zona anomali uranium (U) yang dicirikan oleh keberadaan tanah berwarna coklat tua – coklat kemerahan, dengan nilai dosis radiasi 1,9 sampai 4.032,3 nSv/jam dan kadar uranium (U) berkisar antara 20,27 – 325 ppm eU. Berdasarkan hasil analisis batuan sumber uranium, disimpulkan batugamping merupakan batuan sumber uranium di lokasi penelitian. Hasil pengamatan lapangan terhadap pupuk dan batuan basal Formasi Auwea tidak ditemukan anomali yang dapat mengindikasikan material/batuan tersebut bertindak sebagai sumber uranium.

Abstract

Monazite contains several rare earth elements (REE) along with radioactive elements, i.e., thorium (Th) and uranium (U). Thorium content in monazite is several times higher than uranium. Monazite contains around 12% thorium oxide, but the thorium content in this mineral varies depending on location. To determine the thorium content in monazite, an appropriate and validated analytical method is needed so that the reliability of the test results can be trusted. Apart from that, method validation is one of the clauses in SNI ISO/IEC 17025:2017 that must be fulfilled by the laboratory to be certified and produce reliable data. This research aims to validate analytical methods for non-standard and modified methods that are likely to be used outside the scope. In this research, the method used to digest and analyze thorium in mineral samples refers to the ASTM E2941-14 method with several modifications. Therefore, the analysis method needs to be validated. Validation of the analytical method is carried out by testing several parameters such as linearity and working range tests, accuracy, precision (repeatability), Limit of Detection (LOD), and Limit of Quantitation (LOQ). The results of linearity, accuracy, and repeatability tests that meet the acceptance requirements can be used as a method of validation evaluation. The results of the method validation parameter test met the acceptance requirements, with the linearity test showing a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.997, the accuracy test showing % a recovery value of 106.22%, and the precision (repeatability) test showing %RSD of 3.76% with LOD value is 0.650 mg/L, and LOQ is 0.724 mg/L. Based on the results of these parameter tests, the method for analyzing thorium in mineral samples was validated.

Abstract

The demand for minerals to meet technological developments is increasing, including minerals that contain rare earth elements (REE). The levels of REE in solids can be determined using conventional analysis methods (gravimetry) and instruments. Even though the instrument method provides more accurate results with a small amount of analyte, the cost is higher compared to the gravimetric method, which requires more analyte and provides good results. Therefore, the gravimetric method is a solution for areas with limited instruments and budgets. The study aims to validate the gravimetric method for determining REE oxides levels, evaluate its precision and accuracy, and assess its feasibility of use. In this study, two methods were used for REE analysis: the ASTM E2941-14 method with sample weight modification and the addition of acid to increase REE oxides recovery and a precipitation method using oxalic acid. The validation stages include sample dissolution, precipitation, filtration, and ash-making. The research results show that the RSD value is 0.3154, which is smaller than 2/3 of Horwitz's CV, namely 4.1727, which means it meets the precision acceptance requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017. The REE oxides recovery value, which indicates accuracy, also increased to 97.74%. Therefore, the gravimetric method can be used as an alternative for determining REE oxides levels.

Abstract

Thorium (Th) is a radioactive metal that can be formed along with uranumand rare earth metals (REM). Minerals contain radioactive elements are monazite ((Ce,La,Y,U/Th)PO4), thorianite ((Th,U)O2), and thorite (ThSiO4). Mamuju Area is containing radioactive minerals, thorite is one of them. To separate REM from radioactive elements can be conducted by exctracting thorium from thorite ore by acid digestion method using sulphuric acid (H2SO4), followed by leaching and thorium recovery in the form of thorium hydroxide by chemical precipitation using ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH). The experimental results showed that the optimum conditions of acid digestion that give the highest Th extraction percentage on solid to liquid ratio are obtained at 1:2 (g/mL) in 60 minutes with extraction percentages of Th, iron (Fe) and REM are 82.47%, 80.08%, and 83.31% respectively. The highest thorium precipitation percentage, as much as 95.47% , was obtained at pH 4.5 on room temperature (26 ± 1°C). At higher temperature (70°C), a lower percentage of thorium precipitation is obtained, as much as 83.69%. Pre-oxidation by using H2O2 solution with two times stoichiometry for 1.5 hours at room temperature is increasing Fe precipitation percentage from 93.08% to 99.93%.

Abstract

The thorium exploration in the last five years in the granite tin belt region is targeted at thorium availability in primary and secondary tin deposits. Singkep island is the part of granite tin belt which potential for thorium occurences either primer or secondary deposits. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of thorium availability in bauxite laterite deposits concerning thorium content and its relation to the availability of radioactive minerals and cerium (Ce), lanthanum (La), Yttrium (Y), and zircon (Zr) contents on the bauxite laterite deposit. The data obtained from this study will be used as an evaluation material for the development of thorium exploration in bauxite laterite deposits in Indonesia. The methods used are geological mapping, thorium concentration measurements, and sampling of pan concentrate for mineral grain analysis and analysis of Ce, La, Y, and Zr contens. The lithology of the study area was granite that had weathered and turned into bauxite laterite deposit with thorium content ranging from 25.9 to 177.8 ppm eTh. The concentrate of the repeating result is zircon-ilmenite concentrate with radioactive mineral content composed of zircon, monazite, and anatase. La concentration on zircon-ilmenite concentrate is 0–412 ppm, Ce is 0–80 ppm, Y is 27–82 ppm and zircon is 9,420–100,000 ppm. Avaibility of thorium at the bauxite laterite deposit on Singkep Island is closely related to the zircon, monazite, and anatase minerals. Characteristics of thorium availability in the bauxite laterite deposit are similar to the thorium characteristics of the primary and secondary tin deposits.

Abstract

Tin slag II is a by-product of the second stage of tin smelting. The tin slag II contains high economic value elements in the form of radioactive elements (uranium and thorium) and rare earth elements. These elements can be utilized if they are separated from each other. The process of separating radioactive elements and rare earth elements has been carried out by leaching sulfuric acid method. The results of this process are residue containing rare earth elements and filtrates containing radioactive elements in the form of uranium and thorium sulfate. Research related to the separation of uranium and thorium sulfate in tin slag processing is only slightly published. This paper aims to determine the effectiveness of the uranium and thorium separating process by the solvent extraction method using trioctylamine (TOA). The solvent extraction process is carried out by varying the concentration of TOA used, comparison of the aqueous and organic phase (A/O) and variations in extraction time. In this study, the optimum conditions for the process were obtained at 4% of TOA concentration, 1 : 1 of A/O ratio, and mixing time of aqueous and organic phase for 2 minutes. In this condition, uranium and thorium which extracted were 67% and 0.84% respectively.

Abstract

Ella Ilir administratively located in Melawi Regency, West Kalimantan. Regional geology of Ella Ilir area is composed of metamorphic rocks in Triassic–Carboniferous age which are intruded by Jurassic and Cretaceous granitic rocks. Radioactive minerals occurences in the area are indicated by magnetite veins radioactivities on Triassic to Carboniferous metamorphic rocks whose values range from 1,000 c/s to 15,000 c/s. Goal of the study is to determine the type of ore mineral deposits and to identify the presence of radioactive mineral in magnetite veins in Ella Ilir area. The methods used are geological mapping, radioactivity measurements, analysis on uranium grades, and mineragraphy analysis of severe magnetite veins samples. Lithologies of the study area are composed by biotite quartzite, metatuff, metasilt, metapellite, biotite granite, and ryolite. The east-west sinistral fault and the north-south dextral fault are the developed fault structures in this area. Mineral composition of magnetite veins are consists of iron ore, sulfide, and radioactive minerals. Iron ore mineral consists of magnetite, hematit, and goetite. Sulfide minerals consist of pyrite, pirhotite, and molybdenite, while radioactive minerals consist of uraninite and gummite. The occurences of magnetite veins are controlled by lithology and geological structures. The magnetite veins in metasilt are thick (1.5–5 m), filled the fractures in the fault zone. Meanwhile, the magnetite veins in metapellite are thinner (milimetric–centimetric), filled the fractures that are parallel to the schistocity. The ore deposits in the study area are iron ore deposits or magnetite ore deposits formed by magmatic hydrothermal processes.
