Abstract

Monazite is a mineral side product of tin processing, which mainly contains uranium (U), thorium (Th), rare earth elements (REE), and phosphate compounds (PO4). Besides these main elements, monazite also contains other metals such as aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), bismuth (Bi), gallium (Ga), and thallium (Tl). The elements in monazite must be separated to be used. This study aims to determine the effect of pH variations in the separation of components in monazite with multilevel precipitation and determine elements produced from each pH variation. The variation pH starts from pH 0,5 to 10 with a different pH of zero points five. The elements in monazite are separated gradually, beginning from the decomposition process using sodium hydroxide (NaOH), dissolving with hydrochloric acid (HCl), and graded deposition with ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH). The elements were analyzed using the instrument Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and UV-Visible Spectrophotometer. The effect of pH variations produced precipitated pH 3, pH 6, pH 6.5, and pH 7. The elements produced at each pH variation are uranium, thorium, rare earth elements, aluminum, iron, bismuth, gallium, and thallium. Uranium and thorium were mostly at pH 3 with the recovery of U 72.3% and Th 46.33% and rare earth elements at pH 6.5 with 41.87% recovery. The elements Fe and Bi mostly settle at pH 3 with levels of 37.9 ppm and 100.9 ppm. The elements Al, Ga, and Tl, precipitate most at pH 6.5 with grades of 30.2 ppm, 69.8 ppm, and 8 ppm respectively.

Abstract

This study was conducted based on the findings of radioactive minerals in the form of indication of relatively high radiation dose rate anomalies. The hypothesis underlying the existence of a high radiation dose rate is the deposition of uranium derived from basalt rock Auwea Formation, uranium enrichment derived from limestone to the soil surface, and the deposition of uranium resulted from the use of fertilizers in agriculture. Therefore the research aimed to obtain the conclusion of its hypotheses. Research methodology applied is geological mapping, radiometric measurement of uranium (U), thorium (Th), and potassium(K) in the field using RS 125 to determine in-situ grade of elements, radiometric measurements of plant fertilizer, sampling, and laboratory analysis of the element grade. Based on the analysis and evaluation of survey data it is known that in the area around Maryendi, Darmapis and Denafi, indicate the presence of anomalous zones which is characterized by the presence of uranium (U) dark brown soil – reddish brown, with the value of the radiation dose of 1.9 to 4,032.3 nSv/h and grade of uranium (U)has 20.27 to 325 ppm eU. Based on the analysis of source rock of uranium, it is concluded that limestone is the source rock of uranium in research area. The results of field observations of the fertilizer and basalt rock of Auwea Formation, it is found that no anomalies may indicate material/rock that acts as the source of uranium.

Abstract

Monazite is a by-product of tin processing containing phosphate, rare earth elements, and radioactive elements such as uranium and thorium. These elements can be utilized optimally if separated from one another through processing. Monazite processing includes decomposition, partial dissolution, and precipitation processes. The separation of rare earth elements from radioactive elements in monazite is carried out through a partial dissolution process, but the separation is not optimal so that further processes are needed to increase the recovery of these elements. In this study, the process was carried out using two methods, namely total dissolution with hydrochloric acid (HCl) which aims to dissolve all elements in the precipitate and precipitation with ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) which aims to separate radioactive elements and rare earth elements. Both methods were carried out under optimum process conditions with various variations in pH, temperature, and time. Based on observations, it was found that the optimum solubility of each element was 67.6% uranium, 15.3% thorium and 50.8% LTJ under the dissolving process conditions of pH 1, at 80°C for 2 hours. While in the deposition process, the precipitation recovery of each element is 57% uranium, 75.7% thorium, 4.8% rare earth metals at pH 6 conditions. Based on these data, it can be concluded that uranium, thorium, and rare earth elements can be dissolved at pH 1, at 80°C for 2 hours, and can be separated at pH 6 precipitation conditions.

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

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.
