Abstract

Experiments of gold and silver elution were conducted using several parameters, either fixed or varying parameters. Ethanol volume, temperature and percent solid belonged to varying parameters while loaded carbon, stirring rate, concentrations of NaOH and NaCN served as fixed parameters. The experiment results showed that the optimum condition for such a process included 20% of ethanol volume, 80°C of temperature and solid fraction of 25%. Using such condition, the experiment was conducted for 10-hour contact time and yielded the highest desorption percentages for gold and silver, namely 80.10 and 70.73% respectively. The derived contents of gold and silver were 295.16 and 159.38 ppm while their achieved weights were 56.080 and 30.601 µ g. The fact that the achieved contents of gold and silver was close to the requirements for electrowinning process, it is suggested that the next process using a semi-continue one in terms of gaining a result that satisfies the requirement for electrowinning.

Abstract

Pyrometallurgical process still dominates the extraction of galena concentrates. The process used to extract the lead includes reduction smelting in a blast furnace, air flash smelting (Boliden process), oxygen flash smelting (Kivcet, Boliden Kaldo, Outokumpu), air-slag bath smelting (Isasmelt) and oxygen-slag bath smelting (QSL). However, those generate dust, SO2 gas and volatile Pb liquid. As a result, such processes are ineffective to treat the complex sulfides and low-grade flotation con concentrates. Referring to the lack of high-grade lead ore the lead pyrometallurgical is a problem in the future. In addition, the environmental regulation becomes very strict lately. Those pushes the metallurgist to seek the alternative process that are environmentally friendly and able to treat the low-grade concentrates. Lead extraction through hydrometallurgical process is considered to be safer as the process do not produce dust, SO2 gas and lead vapor.Researches for lead extraction through hydrometallurgical routes have been performed using various leaching agents such as acetic acid, ferric methanesulfonate, ferric chloride, ferric fluorosilicate and nitric acid with hydrogen peroxide and ferric ion as the oxidants. So far, no lead plant operates hydrometallurgically in an industrial scale. Fluorosilicic acid has a potential to be used as the leaching reagent for concentrating the lead because of high lead solubility in this solution and cheaper price of the reagent in compared to sulfamate and fluoroborate solutions. This research used galena concentrates from a mining area in Bogor, Indonesia, fluorosilicic acid and hydrogen peroxide as the oxidants. The highest Pb extraction percentage of 99.26% was achieved from the leaching experiment using 3.44 M of H2SiF6 and 9.79 M of H2O2, at 97oC and concentrate particle size distribution of -100+150 mesh after 135 minutes. The XRD analysis of the leaching residue with no oxidant showed the presence of galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite, while the residue of the leaching with oxidant showed anglesite (PbSO4), galena, sphalerite, sulphur and pyrite. Lead extractions were increased by the increase of temperature and concentration of fluorosilicic acid. The best solid percentage that gave the highest lead extraction percentage was 12%. Variations of rotation speeds at the range of 300-700 rpm did not significantly influence lead extraction percentage. However, the particle size distribution that resulted in the best extraction percentage of lead is 100+150#, at which the finer particle size of the concentrate give a lower extraction percentage of the lead due to PbSO4precipitation.

Abstract

Chemical manganese dioxide has not yet commercially developed in Indonesia. It is supplied by import sector. The fact that Indonesia has manganese resources as many as 60,893,820 tons is inconsistent with above condition. Research on CMD making employed pyrolusite as the raw material with size of - 100+150 mesh. The material was then reacted with sulfuric acid 6% and various concentration of molasses as reductant from 10, 20, 30, 50 and 100 %. The manganese sulfate leachate was then purified using sodium hydroxide and then filtered to have a nonferrous manganese sulfate. The Mn was precipitated from manganese sulfate using sodium bicarbonate. The precipitated manganese carbonate was then calcined at 600°C by injecting the air at various flow rates (100, 200, 300, 400 cc/minute) and different calcination time (2, 3, 4 hours) to get manganese dioxide. The best extracted Mn reached 97.58% using 50% of molasses as a reductant. The precipitation of manganese carbonate had produced sodium carbonate as an impurity. The calcination had not yet changed the manganese carbonate into manganese dioxide due to extremely high calcination temperature.

Abstract

The sample used for this study was a sulfide flotation concentrate that came from PT Lumbung Mineral Sentosa.The phase changes that occur in the particles of zinc sulfide concentrate during roasting in a muffle furnace were investigated using light microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) while its chemical composition was analyzed using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) methods. Characterization also employed DTA-TGA instrument to provide data on the transformations that have occurred while the TGA data presents information about physical and chemical phenomena. Mineral composition of the sample included sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, and pyrite. Sphalerite was the most dominant one. Roasting sphalerite samples was intended to release the sulfur from its sulfide, Such a release was made easier for further treatment of the zinc such as a leaching process. Roasting temperature varied from 200 - 1,100 °C. Sphalerite starts to change when the temperature was raised to 650 °C performing the formation of zincite, franklinite, quartz and sphalerite as well. This composition did not change although the temperature increased to 1,100 °C. The Zn content within the original sample was 59.00% and then increased with the increasing of temperature but the improved in line with the increased temperature. The highest Zn was 78.98% achieved at 1,100 °C.

Abstract

Compared to main iron ore minerals, either hematite or magnetite, Indonesian goethite is relatively abundant. However, this is not common to be used as feed material in iron making industries. Limitation in Indonesian high quality iron ore resources, the iron making industries have to seek another iron source such as the low grade iron ore of goethitic ore. Evaluation using thermogravimetric method was employed for analyzing behavior of goethitic composite pellet during reduction. The data show that reduction of goethitic iron ore is started by transforming goethite to hematite and then followed by iron reduction. The reduction was started by Fe3O4 formation at 442 °C and Fe at 910 °C. At those temperatures the composite pellet lost its weight. Identifying the FeO is hardly difficult due to the short range of phase existence.

Abstract

Research and development regarding coal gasification at a pilot scale in Palimanan has been conducted since 2008. Besides the gas product, attention on chemical element identification within the bottom ash is also necessary. The aim is to implement the research and development activities in integrating coal utilization processes by zero waste. The most important content within the coal ash is the precious metal elements, namely the rare earth elements. Characterization on the fixed bed gasification coal ash from Palimanan pilot plant shows that the ash contains the rare earth elements (REE) such as cerium, lanthanum, samarium, neodymium, praseodymium, euporium, gadolinium, dysprosium, and yttrium. Its bearing minerals include zircon silicate minerals (ZrSiO4) and monazite-Ce (CePO4). The total content of the rare earth elements is 77.85 ppm. In this work, the rare earth elements concentration successfully increased using shaking table and magnetic separator methods. It reached up to 217 ppm. However, the shaking table was more effective to increase the concentration. Approximately two times concentrates were achieved, while no significant results derived from the magnetic separator process.

Abstract

Hydrothermal dewatering process has been made to produce dry-processed coals, which are comparable to bituminous coal. Two types of coals, i.e. low rank and high-rank coals. The low-rank coal came from West Papua while the high one was from Central Kalimantan. The behaviour of raw and processed coals were observed using thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry techniques The change in chemical properties that are based on proximate, ultimate, calorific value and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analyses are studied. Those are closely related to some combustion problems. This process was conducted in a laboratory scale using an autoclave with 5,000 ml/batch in capacity at the temperature of 300 and 330°C for one hour. The results indicate that the processed coals generally have a better combustion behaviour than that of the raw coals. The processed coals have a lower reactivity than that of raw ones, due to the higher ignition temperature (Tig), char burnout temperature (Tbo) as the end of combustion and maximum combustion rate (Rmax) of processed coals. The processing temperature of the process was a slight effect on combustion behaviour. The process is very effective to improve the quality of low-rank coal, nonetheless to high-rank coal, which has low moisture content and high calorific value, and the combustion behaviour of processed coals was not significantly changed.

Abstract

Based on variations in calcination temperature, gamma alumina has successfully been made using a simple sol-gel method for Pomalaa magnesium-laterite adsorption from the South East of Sulawesi. The laterite leached by sulfuric acid was then precipitated by ammonia, to make the magnesium was separated from its main impurities (Si, Fe and Al). Temperature variations at 500, 650, 800 and 950 °C in gamma alumina making formed the gamma alumina phase while the alpha alumina phase was formed at 1100 °C. The higher calcination temperature the lower the specific surface area respectively from 196.385, 156.239, 105.725, 96.134 and 15.396 (m2/g). This results in decreasing the magnesium of the laterite 9.04, 8.70, 8.09, 6.39 and 0.29 (mg/L) respectively. The 800 °C-calcination gamma alumina has the highest volume of the pore, namely 0.3265 mL/g and the radius of 61.76 Å. The gamma alumina isotherm curve is type IV. The SEM-EDS test shows an aggregation spherical shape. Gamma alumina was detected to adsorb Mg laterite. The X-ray mapping of SEM-EDS test shows even distribution between gamma alumina, magnesium and nickel. The highest adsorption is retained by GA-800/3 sample, namely 81.31 %.

Abstract

The energy needs in Indonesia are continuing to increase, however, the production of oil and gas declines.This problem can be minimized by developing alternative energy such as underground coal gasification (UCG) by utilizing deep seated coal at 200 to 1.000 m below surface. The objective of this studyis to evaluate coal characteristic in the basins for UCG purpose depends on several coal properties such as its rank (below bituminous), thickness (5m), depth (up to 200m), and ash content plus total moisture (below 60%). Based on coal analysis of 11 coal basins from previous exploration drilling, there were several coal layers in four selected basins to be applied for the UCG project, namely 7 coal layers in South Sumatra Basin, 7 coal layers in Barito Basin, 2 coal layers inAsam-asam Basin and 5 coal layers in Kutai Basin. Based on the SNI No. 5015-2011, the coal resources was calculated and converted into a gas by a simulation procedure. Total UCG coal in South Sumatera Basin is 801 million tons, meanwhile, the Barito Basin has 436 million tons, Asam-asam 136 million tons, and Kutai 289.7 million tons. The total hypothetical syngas is 8.38 TSCF. The UCG facilities in South Sumatra Basin should be designed to produce the syngas as the natural gas within this area is in deficit condition and the basic cost for electricity supply belongs to low situation, however, the UCG plants in Kalimantan should produce electricity as its cost ratio of electricity is high and this area retains surplus natural gas supply.
