Abstract

This paper is a new concept to increase the safety and mining conservation on PT-X and PT-Y with no boundary gap between the two areas. To optimize coal recovery as a basis of supporting conservation, the two companies needed to adjust coal production in terms of avoiding technical problems at the mining time process due to the rock structure and coal seam at the border were the same. PT-X plans to produce 2 million tons of coal, but the government only approved 1 million tons, while PT-Y still approved 2 million tons. This paper discusses the instability of mining in border locations due to the differences of coal production. The applied methodology is conducting geotechnical modeling by considering statistical aspects of data distribution and the probability of failure. Based on the results of geotechnical modeling by numerical methods on the basis of 2D and 3D for the difference in the production level of 1 million tons in all cross-sections, the FK value is 0.992 - 1.248 with a probability of failure (PI) of 5.40 - 48.00%. Results of modeling analysis show that both single and overall slopes are at a critical level and are not safe. If this difference is narrowed by increasing PT-X's coal production by 1.5 million tons, the border location's mining conditions will stabilize. Therefore, it is necessary to propose to the government for PT-X's coal production to be added by at least 500.000 tons so that the production process of each company runs safely.

Abstract

The prevailing mining climate is highly characterized by unstable consumables pricing systems, a volatile economy and skyrocketing operational costs, and exacerbated by a steady decline and intermittence in the availability of electricity. Zimbabwean mines need to extensively capitalize on the opportunity to improve productivity by emphasizing variables they can control, predominantly operational efficiency to avoid resizing of operations or facilitating downsizing by relatively insignificant factors. In this study, cycle times, rig penetration, utilization, availability and payloads were used to evaluate the mining cycles, operator costs and the information was compared against the life of mine plans with block models. Shifts were restructured to be concordant to the schedule provided by the utility company to save fuel that was being used to power metallurgical plant. Several challenges have been identified as the principal reasons behind discrepancies between the theoretical capabilities of equipment were proven to be achievable by a trial schedule which reduced the 7 days/month to less than 2 days a month. The new schedule reflects a theoretical improvement of close to 25% and significantly lower operational costs. The current mining fleet is capable of meeting the stipulated targets and even achieving more even within tough working environments characterized by harsh load shedding schedules and volatile inflation rates; however, this requires stringent monitoring and evaluation of unit process. By adopting the recommended short term production plans will avoid resizing of operations as it automatically reduces the operational costs by US $3 million annually whilst coercing both operators and management to improve their operational efficiency.

Abstract

Illegal gold mining caused various environmental damages in the world. Indonesia is one of the countries with abundant mineral reserves, especially Jambi Province. Jambi has much of natural resources, such as coal and gold. Unfortunately, the management of these natural resources has not been appropriately managed, which has resulted in much illegal gold mining. Illegal mining activities have caused environmental damage, mainly decreased water quality and changed landscapes. This paper explains the illegal mining activities at Jambi Province, including its history, socio-economic and environmental impacts, as well as recent technologies to reduce the environmental damage. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used in this research, including interviews, questionnaires, and laboratory measurements. The results showed that the people of Sarolangun, Bungo, and Tebo were aware that their illegal gold mining activities caused environmental damage. However, economic conditions and insufficient employment opportunities made unlawful gold miners have no other choice. Illegal gold mining activities have also shifted people's livelihoods who previously worked as farmers.

Abstract

Upgrading the coal is a process that increases the calorific value of low-rank coal through decreasing the moisture content of the coal. This method usually uses mixed heavy oil to close the opened pores after coal upgrading. The additives have a molecule structure like heavy oil. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of additives on the moisture content and calorific value after coal upgrading process. Coal upgrading in this study applies several variations i.e., coal particle size and coal mass mixed with an additive which is a mixture of vacuum residue and petroleum benzine with a ratio of  0.005 g: 1 mL as a coater. Before upgrading process, the moisture content and calorific value of the coal is 13.39 %adb and 6,663 cal/g db. After the process, the lowest moisture content of the coal in the ratio of coal (b/v) and additives was 4:3 with 21.75% ad. The highest calorific value of the coal was shown in the ratio of coal (b/v) and additives 1:1 with 7,189 kcal/kg. The lowest moisture content is indicated by the particle size of -120 mesh. The highest calorific value of coal is shown by the particle size of -120 mesh.

Abstract

With the development of technology lately, the technology for making lightweight materials is also growing, where the goal is to reduce the total weight of the material without reducing its mechanical strength. Several parameters that influence the manufacture of lightweight materials are the number of pores, materials weight, and physical resistance. One commonly used method is mixing ceramic glass with a foaming agent. In this study, basalt rock from East Lampung, Indonesia, and lime glass was used as a ceramic glass material mixed with CaCO3, which melted down at a temperature of 1200 0C. Variations in composition were carried out by mass comparison between basalt and lime glass, namely A sample (100:0), B sample (70:30), C sample (50:50), and D sample (30:70) with 50%wt CaCO3 added for each sample and heated up to 1200 0C. Treatment variations (annealed and normalized) are also applied to see the phenomena occur. Based on the characterization results, the best sample obtained is in B sample with normalized treatment, whose has porosity value of 53.2% and density value of 1.08 gr/cm3. Based on the results of the SEM test, the pores with a size ≤ 0.5µm are 95%, and ≥ 0.5µm are 5%, where the crystals formed are pyroxene and calcite with the compositions of CaO and SiO2, respectively 39.46% and 41.90%.

Abstract

Technology development is growing fast, such as satellite imagery and GIS for various applications, one of them is mining technology. Several regulations for the mining sector regarding the mandatory use of satellite imagery have been stated in some regulations to be implemented in mining sectors. Some mine environmental studies showed that the remote sensing and the GIS analysis could detect the small changes in its environment area with effective cost as the coverage of the sensory images is quite broad. The purpose is to monitor land alteration by observing the changes at the taking place, in either the number of voids or their area, using the 2019 and 2020 SPOT 6/7 image data. The algorithm change detection analyzes the number and void changing, mainly to provide a visual description of the void image trend and other applications. The trend of void numbers and its area can be predictable and correlated with the coal mine activities yearly. The results of 2019 SPOT 6/7 image showed that the total area of coal mine pit increased from 2% of the total area of the IUP to 2.53% in 2020. But, its allegation of environmental changes due to the mining activities will be strengthened by a ground check survey that cannot be conducted now.

Abstract

Blasting geometry and blasting material filling are closely related to the rock mass characteristics and the geological conditions to obtain ideal fragmentation. Blastability Index analysis, including Description of Rock Mass, Combined Plane Spacing, Combined Plane Orientation, Specific Gravity Influencey, and Hardness, are the alternative geometry experiment conducted to overcome the problem of rock fragmentation so that the speed of excavation equipment can increase according to the productivity of Komatsu PC2000 plan at PT. BUMA Jobsite BINSUA. Furthermore, the actual rock values obtained from blasting location and alternative geometry recommendations using R.L.Ash theory combined with Vertical Energy Distribution theory. In the C2 layer with a rock factor value of 5.95, the recommended load is 7.2 m, space is 8.3 m, and the VED explosive power is 48%. In layer D2 the rock factor value is 6.89 with a load of 7.5 m, space of 8.3 m, and 55% VED explosive charge. While in the DU layer, the rock factor value is 6.39 with a load of 7.3 m, 8.4 m space, and 51% VED filling of explosives. Prediction of blasting fragmentation analysis using Kuz-ram theory obtained fragmentation > 100 cm, namely 14.99% for the C2 layer, 14.84% for the D2 layer, and 14.82% for the DU layer.

Abstract

Rare earth elements are strategic materials. The elements have critical roles in meeting the needs of raw material for producing the modern industrial products. Most of the REE minerals is available in the form of associated minerals. One of them is coal. In terms of obtaining an overview regarding the possibility of coal to be a source of REEs, a research was carried out by beneficiating the bottom ash of the coal using a shaking table and a magnetic separator, and was followed by extracting the REEs using the alkaline fusion and leaching them using the nitric acid. The results showed that the bottom ash of gasified coal from the Palimanan pilot plant contained cerium, lanthanum, samarium, neodymium, praseodymium, europium, gadolinium, dysprosium, and yttrium, with a total content of 77.85 ppm. Concentrating the REEs using the shaking table and the magnetic separator result in a recovery of 32.96% and 50.5%, respectively. Extracting the REEs by alkaline fusion using NaOH as flux was not promising  while leaching with nitric acid was able to extract the REEs with various percentage extraction values, and the highest extraction for Neodymium was 73.46% under conditions of 2M nitric acid leaching and heated at 80°C.

Abstract

Nickel ore is found in two types sulfide and laterite. The sulfide is a nickel ore that has high nickel content and low reserves of natural resources than of the zinc laterite. In contrast, the laterite is a rock mineral that contains the iron-nickel oxide compounds. There are two methods of processing nickel laterite, namely hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy. The former is a method that uses leaching by a chemical solution or solid such as acid, as a reducing agent. The alkaline leaching (ammonia) is the most optimal method to obtain a nickel grade with the highest recovery but it needs more modification. Pyrometallurgical method uses high heat up to 1800°C, so it requires a lot of energy and needs improvement to decrease the carbon usage. The rotary kiln-electric furnace method is the optimal method for developing the nickel laterite. These methods generate products that can be applied to various fields. For example, the pyrometallurgy method produces nickel pig iron and ferronickel as raw materials for stainless steel and steel alloys. The hydrometallurgy method produces nickel sulfate and nickel oxide with a purity of 99% by weight as raw materials for magnets, sensors, and batteries. Hence, the hydrometallurgy method still needs improvements for the environmentally friendly reagent. Therefore, bioleaching will be a nickel laterite leaching process in the future by using bacteria as the reducing agent.
