Abstract

The Bandung bentonite deposit is located in Wonosegoro District, Boyolali Regence, Central Java. Characteristics of bentonite in this area are very important due to increase demand on bentonite in the industry. Several methods are used to characterize the bentonite in this area, such as PLM (polarizing light microscope), X-Ray Diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscope combined with EDX measurements. The montmorilonitic claystone belongs to Kerek Formation from Banyuurip Member. This deposit consists of mainly montmorilonitic claystone interbedded with tuffaceous sandstone. Petrographical analysis shows that montmorilonitic claystone consists of mostly clay minerals with small amount of calcite, volcanic glass, feldspar, quartz, and opaque minerals. The clay minerals are likely as alteration product of volcanic glass. The oriented XRD analyses show that the clay samples consist of Ca-montmorilonite, illite, and kaolinite. Physico-chemical analyses of montmorilonitic claystone display that the initial CEC (cation exchange capacity) is 20 mgrek.Na2O/200gr (54 mg.Na2O/100gr) and low swelling ability for about 2 times of its initial volume. Based on its mineralogical association, textures, and stratigraphic position, the montmorilonite is formed from devitivication of volcanic glass in a diagenetic environment with over 2 km thicks of overburden. Keywords: Bentonite, montmorillonitic claystone, devitrivication, diagenesis, montmorillonite

Abstract

Subduction of the Indo-Australian Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate formed at least seven magmatic arcs in Indonesia. One of the magmatic arcs is the Neogene Sunda-Banda arc hosts various style of gold mineralisation such as Cibaliung epithermal gold mineralisation. Major and trace element data for host volcanic rocks to the Cibaliung epithermal gold mineralisation is provided by this study to identify the magmatic arc system and the distribution of subduction components. Enriched LILE (Large Ion Lithopile Element) and LREE (Light Rare Earth Element) compositions for basaltic andesite – rhyodacitic samples from the Cibaliung district are characteristic of calc-alkaline arcs. In this typical volcanic arc, the subduction component can be shown to make a dominant contribution to its content of LILE such as Rb, K, Th, and Ba enriched (more than 88%) relative to the mantle and within plate inputs. The incompatible elements (Hf, Zr, and Nb) cannot be observed in the subduction component and thus assumed to be derived from trace element enriched sub-continental lithosphere. These incompatible elements are defined as conservative elements therefore it suggests that the magma occurrence is related to a hydrous slab component. Keywords: Subduction, Indo-Australian plate, magmatic arcs, volcanic rocks, Cibaliung, epithermal gold.

Abstract

Batur paleovolcano is located in Wediombo Beach area, Gunungkidul Regency, Yogyakarta and is being part of Wuni Formation. Several volcanic products including lava flow, autoclastic breccia and volcanic breccia can be found associated with diorite intrusions. This research is aimed to characterize geological, mineralogical andgeochemical variations of igneous rocks from Batur paleovolcano to understand its petrogenesis. Detailed geological mapping with scale of 1:12,500 is conducted to identify geological aspects and delineate igneous rocks distributions. Igneous rocks and selected wall rocks samples were prepared for laboratory analysis including 8 samples for petrography and 5 samples for ICP-AES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry) analysis. Several geochemical data from previous study are also added to investigate the geochemical variations. Geological condition of the research area consists of four rock units including colluvial deposit, limestone, andesite lava and diorite intrusion. Geological structures found are normal fault and shear joint where the main stress direction is north–south. Petrography analysis showed that igneous rocks in this research area consist of diorite intrusion and andesite lava with phorphyritic texture. Plagioclase become the most abundant minerals found both as phenocryst phase and groundmass. Hornblende only occur as phenocryst phase in minor amounts as accesory mineral. Major elementsgeochemistry analysis showed the rocks are characterized by intermediate silica with low alkali content. They are can be categorized as calc-alkaline series. However, some samples are fall into tholeiitic series. Major elements variation and textural study also indicate the magma is experienced differentiation process by fractional crystallization mechanism. This study suggests that igneous rocks from Batur paleovolcano is formed by two phases of formation. Earlier phase is the formation of andesite lava in island arc tholeiitic tectonic setting then at the later phase is formation of diorite intrusion in the calc-alkaline basalts tectonic setting.

Abstract

Using remote sensing data for hydrothermal alteration mapping beside saving time and reducing  cost leads to increased accuracy. In this study, the result of multispectral remote sensing tehcniques has been compare for manifesting hydrothermal alteration in Kokap, Kulon Progo. Three multispectral images, including ASTER, Landsat 8, and Sentinel-2, were compared in order to find the highest overall accuracy using principle component analysis (PCA) and directed component analysis (DPC). Several subsets band combinations were used as PCA and DPC input to targeting the key mineral of alteration. Multispectral classification with the maximum likelihood algorithm was performed to map the alteration types based on training and testing data and followed by accuracy evaluation. Two alteration zones were succeeded to be mapped: argillic zone and propylitic zone. Results of these image classification techniques were compared with known alteration zones from previous study. DPC combination of band ratio images of 5:2 and 6:7 of Landsat 8 imagery yielded a classification accuracy of 56.4%, which was 5.05% and 10.13% higher than those of the ASTER and Sentinel-2 imagery. The used of DEM together with multispectral images was increase the accuracy of hydrothermal alteration mapping in the study area.

Abstract

The construction of Meninting Dam is undertaken to resolve the water needs in Meninting Watershed, West Lombok, Province of West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Therefore, creating a diversion tunnel is imperative to avert the river flow as the dam project commences. Also, engineering geology work on the soil and rocks, including the classification of physical and mechanical properties were conducted in the intended tunnel site. These considerations were necessary because of the unavailability of rock identification data using the GSI (Geological Strength Index) method which used to design the portal slopes as a significant factor in tunnel safety. The results show the proposed area for diversion tunnel construction to be in the lithology of the polymict breccia and the lapilli tuff units, and the soil conditions were included in the SM category (silty sand). The level of surface rock weathering was divided into 3 units, including: highly weathered residual soil lapilli tuff, and highly, as well as moderately weathered polymict breccias. Meanwhile, 4 units were identified on the rock cores (subsurface) comprising highly weathered residual soil of lapilli tuff, and highly, moderately, and slightly weathered polymict breccias. Based on GSI (Geological Strength Index) of rock and surface data from the area of study, the rock quality was grouped as poor (GSI values: 21-40) to very poor (GSI values: 0-20). However, drilling data classified the mass quality subsurface rocks in fair (GSI values 41-55), poor (GSI values: 21-40), particularly in tunnels, and very poor (GSI values 0-20). Therefore, the rock mass quality is possibly used to design the slope of the tunnel portal as 45⁰-55⁰, in order to ensure safety.

Abstract

Gunung Patuk and Gunung Wungkal are part of the Godean Hills in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The Godean Hills are isolated hills consisting of a series of hills surrounded by the Young Merapi Volcanics Deposits. A previous study reported that Gunung Patuk and Gunung Wungkal are porphyry andesite – micro diorite intrusions. Both hills are igneous rock intrusion and are found almost perfect soil profiles from the source/parent rock to the A horizon. However, another previous study suggests that at Gunung Wungkal has occurred hydrothermal alteration process. There is still a debate over the genesis of clay in that area, therefore this research needs to be carried out to provide a comprehensive understanding of mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of the clays at that area. The results of petrographic identification on the source/parent rock sample indicate that the rock sample is classified as andesite rock. Meanwhile, the results of mineralogy identification using the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) method show that almost all types of soil profiles contain illite, kaolinite, and smectite. The calculation results of CIW (Chemical Index Weathering) and CIA (Chemical Index Alteration) values based on geochemical data show that CIW and CIA values increase steadily as they approach the ground surface. Based on the presence of illite (indicates a product relating to the relatively high temperatures) in horizon A with high values of CIW and CIA, therefore it can be interpreted that clay minerals at Gunung Patuk and Gunung Wungkal were the product of superimpose of hydrothermal alteration and weathering processes.
