Abstract

Coal is a heterogeneous substance with organic and inorganic and associated with a number of mineral matters that can reduce coal quality. Coal combustion will convert mineral matters into ash content that can affect furnace performance. Coal beneficiation is the process of improving coal quality with a number of methods to reduce ash content and increase coal calorific value. One of the coal beneficiation method is flotation which involves a solid phase in the form of coal particles, a liquid phase in the form of water, and a gas phase in the form of air bubbles as factors that affect the flotation process. This study aims to determine the coal quality, and to analyze the effect variables on ash content and calorific value. The methods used in this study were microscopic optical and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis for coal mineralogy and proximate analysis and calorific value analysis for coal quality. The column flotation method using flotation time, grain size, and collector dosage as research variables. The results of coal mineralogy analysis showed the coal sample contained of quartz, pyrite, moganite, and graphite with 5.07% of ash and 5,207 cal/g of calorific value. Results of the flotation experiment reveal that the lowest ash content were 2.83% which was found with the grain size of 60 mesh, a flotation time of 10 minutes, and 20 mL of collector dose. The highest calorific value analysis results were 5,835 cal/g which obtained at a grain size of 100 mesh, flotation time of 15 minutes, and a collector dose of 20 mL.

Abstract

The Center for Mineral and Coal Testing is an institution that works in the field of research services on mining and mineral processing. In the mineral processing research currently being carried out there is a research project related to increasing the efficiency of the leaching process using the Aachen Reactor. The samples used in this research were refractory gold samples. The problem of reducing the effectiveness of gold leaching is that there are minerals that are still included in the associated minerals, therefore a pre-treatment process is needed to remove these associated minerals. The Aachen reactor will help increase the efficiency of the leaching process by increasing Dissolve Oxygen levels to 30 ppm. In this study, two samples were used for comparison, namely the Pre-Ox sample and the Aachen Assisted Leaching (AAL) sample.

Abstract

Retreatment is conducted to obtain tin that remains in the monazite tailings (2-3% Sn)  from the processing that has been carried out by PT. Timah. The purpose of this study is to analyse the presence of tin in monazite as well as the effect of magnetic intensity and opening feed on recovery and tin grade by employing a quantitative method of experimentation with three disc magnetic separator. In this study, magnetic intensity was used with disc 1, 2, and 3 respectively is 1.1 T, 1.3 T, 1.5 T (A); 1.3 T, 1.5 T, 1.7 T (B); and 1.5 T, 1.7 T, 1.9 T (C) with opening feed 0.4 cm and 0.8 cm. Based on the experiment, the highest tin grade is 7.33% with the largest combination of magnetic intensity, variation C, and opening feed 0.4 cm. Meanwhile, the highest recovery of 73.64% was obtained at the lowest magnetic intensity, variation A, with the same opening feed. It can be seen that by increasing the magnetic intensity, the tin content will be higher. Meanwhile based on some related experiment, the larger the opening feed, the higher the recovery. However, it should be noted that the opening feed used must not exceed 0.8 cm. If the opening feed used is equal or wider than 0.8 cm, it requires a strong magnetic intensity or the grade and recovery produced will not change significantly.

Abstract

The pyrometallurgical process which produces a product in the form of matte nickel is a nickel product that contains high sulfur so it is necessary to carry out a calcination process with the addition of sulfur and coal in the process using a reduction kiln. In order to increase the effectiveness of the process, PT Vale Indonesia Tbk's reduction kiln operations underwent several improvisations regarding the parameters used in the reduction kiln to adapt to the ore and changes to the equipment. This research aims to obtain optimal conditions for the reduction and sulfidation process to produce nickel in a reduction kiln with low fuel consumption. This research stage was carried out by making direct observations in the field as material for assessing actual conditions, then carrying out simulations using Factage software to obtain ideal conditions. Factage simulation results show an optimal calcine composition with 1.95% Ni; 25.86% Fe; 5.03%C; 63.28% Mg2Si2O6; and 3.03% Mg2SiO4 with a good calcine temperature of 717oC and federate at a kiln reduction of 767 DMT and the maximum sulfur fixation value obtained was 1.3 because sulfur and coal were added at the ideal dose, namely 9 kg/t and 35 kg/t.

Abstract

Bottle Roll Test (BRT) is a leaching testing method on a laboratory scale used in this test. The sample tested was low grade gold ore (< 1 ppm Au) from Poboya, Palu, Central Sulawesi at PT Citra Palu Minerals. Leaching was carried out for 24 hours with samples taken at 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours. The parameters tested were particle size (-125 +100 µm, -100 +75 µm, and -75 µm), and pH (10-11, 11-12, and 12-13). The parameters set are 48% solid percent, 300 ppm cyanide concentration, dissolved oxygen using free air, 50 RPM agitation speed, and 24 hours leaching residence time. The research results showed that the highest gold recovery was obtained in samples with particle size of -75 µm and a pH of 10-11. The highest gold recovery is 91,5%.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of cyanide concentration and ore grinding on the extraction of gold and silver. The tests were conducted on three different samples, including samples without grinding and samples with grinding sized untill 75 µm. The results of the Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) test showed that gold content decreased in all samples, while silver content tended to increase. For the Grinding Time test used to achieve a P80 particle size (where 80% of particles pass through a sieve at certain size), it was found that the optimal time to reach 75 µm was 18 minutes and 65 seconds. Silver extraction increased with the addition of cyanide concentration up to 1000 ppm and grinding untill 75 µm, while gold extraction remained insignificant (0%). This is likely due to the short duration of the test, which only for 2 hours using the bottle roller test method. For future tests, it is recommended to use a stir leach or magnetic stirrer with longer duration of stirring time and better control of oxygen and pH levels. The test results showed that the percentage of silver extraction was 0,82%, 3,23%, and 3,28%, respectively, while the percentage of gold extraction was 0%. The AAS test revealed that gold content ranged from 0,001 g/t to 0,003 g/t, while silver content ranged from 0,322 g/t to 0,559 g/t. The most influential parameters for increasing silver extraction were ore size reduction and the addition of cyanide concentration.

Abstract

According to Law No. 4 of 2009, mineral processing in Indonesia must be carried out domestically. Cyanide (NaCN) remains the primary reagent in gold extraction due to its efficiency, but its negative environmental impact has driven the development of more environmentally friendly alternative reagents, such as thiosulfate and thiocyanate. This study aims to compare three types of reagents, namely NaCN, EG, and LW, in the gold and silver leaching process using the Bottle Roll Test method. The results show that LW achieved the highest gold extraction rate of 94%, followed by NaCN at 92% and EG at 88%. The best reaction kinetics were observed with LW, which reached maximum extraction within 8 hours. In terms of cost, NaCN was the most economical at 11.29 USD/ton of ore, lower than EG at 12.89 USD/ton and LW at 222.82 USD/ton. This study provides guidance for the gold mining industry in selecting the optimal leaching reagent based on extraction efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
