Abstract

The Asem-Asem Basin has cratonic and back-arc settings containing coal deposits that were formed in Tertiary sequences. The coals were deposited in fluvial to deltaic environments. Megascopically, the coals are dominated by bright-banded and banded lithotypes. Microscopically, vitrinite and liptinite are the dominant macerals in the Miocene coals. Inertinite is a minor component and mineral content is also low in most of the coals. There is significant relationship between megas- copic and microscopic observations; the brighter coal is in association with the vitrinite-rich coal, otherwise, the duller coal is in association with the inertinite-rich coal with relatively high mineral content. The differences in the coal type are due to the interaction of tectonic, geologic, palaeoclimate and plant evolutionary factors. The ranks of the Miocene coals ranging from brown coal to high volatile bituminous indicate a normal regional coalification. Most of the coals are suitable for feedstocks in combustion that is the most important present day use for coals.

Abstract

Coal resources in Indonesia mostly (65 %) are categorized as LRC (Low Rank Coal). Currently, the Indonesian Government is encouraging to use LRC as the main source of energy in the national energy mixed policy, including the acceleration program of constructing 10,000 MW Power Plant. With the advanced technologies, such as Upgraded Brown Coal (UBC) process, LRC can be used optimally, particularly for the power plant. Suralaya Generation Business Unit (SGBU), which is the largest coal power plant in Indonesia, recently has to use lignite coal or low rank coal because the price of medium and high rank coal is too expensive. This paper conducted to identify the problems faced by SGBU in using lignite coal and to evaluate the benefit of UBC process if used in SGBU to be blended with lignite. From the evaluation, it can be concluded that UBC process will give benefit to SGBU by reducing ash pollution and give economic benefit of Rp 507 billion per year maximum.

Abstract

The increasing of oil price forces the industries to alter their fuel from oil into a cheaper fuel. Undoubt- edly, coal is a promising energy alternative in Indonesia. To save the cost, altering the fuel oil into coal in industries may be accomplished just by altering the oil burner with coal burner, therefore the exist- ing equipment still can be used without much modification. The coal combustor employed should have nearly the same characteristic with the oil combustor, so that the performance of the kiln or other equipment served by the combustor is not change significantly. R & D Centre for Mineral and Coal Technology (TekMIRA) has developed cyclone combustor for coal with particle size of less than 30 mesh. The combustion is stable at the rate of 50 – 180 kg/hr coal with excess combustion air of 22 – 26%. The length of cyclones is ranged from 120 up to 220 cm, the internal diameter is 60 up to 80 cm and the combustion temperature is 1200 up to 1325°C. This combustor characteristics are nearly the same with oil combustor such as: the combustion flame may be directed; high intensity combustion, long flame; and it is not difficult to match the energy output of previous oil combustor. In this experiment the cyclone combustor was used to replace the oil combustor in a reverberatory furnace to refine aluminum from aluminum scrap by melting the material at 1000 – 1060°C. For 500 kg aluminum, the oil consumption was 47.5 litre for 2.5 hour or the average was 19 lt/hr and the energy efficiency was 29.2%. Using high ash bituminous coal with cyclone burner, the coal consumption was 129 kg for 1.8 hour or the average was 71.6 kg/hr and the energy efficiency was 17.9%. A higher efficiency was obtained by using low ash sub bituminous coal, that the coal consumption was 82 kg for 81 minutes or the average was 60 kg/hr and the energy efficiency was 29.0%. Therefore it is a good opportunity for coal to substitute fuel oil in this reverberatory furnace and many other oil fuelled processes such as in boiler, lime calcination, mineral drying etc.

Abstract

The Province of West Kalimantan has abundant source of industrial minerals such as kaolin, ball clay, quartz and zircon that can be utilized as ceramic raw materials. These materials are spread out in Regencies of Sambas, Singkawang, Bengkayang, Sanggau and Sintang. From various industrial minerals found in West Kalimantan, only clay and kaolin have been utilized by the ceramic industries in West Kalimantan, West Java, Central Java, East Java and Bali. The other industrial minerals such as bauxite, zircon, ilmenite, quartz still have not been utilized for ceramics commodity. Therefore to empower all industrial mineral types from these areas as ceramic raw materials, it is necessary to do a circumstantial and comprehensive study of those minerals based on the result of preliminary research related to ceramic raw materials, whether by using them directly for ceramic products or through processing beforehand. From this study, it is expected that the industrial minerals in West Kalimantan can be empowered to be optimally utilized for white or coloured ceramic bodies, glaze, refractory and other ceramic products.

Abstract

The loading of gold and copper from a pregnant gold thiosulfate leach solution onto ion exchange resin and the subsequent elution of these metals have been investigated. In this study, strong basic resins of Amberjet-4200 and IRA-400 were used and thiocyanate was used as eluent. It was found that on Amberjet-400, the gold loading reached about 2-3 kg/t, in correspondence to 0.4 ppm gold in the effluent.On IRA-400, the performance was almost exactly the same loading as on Amberjet- 4200 but with the effluent gold concentration being slightly higher. In leach solutions, copper is present in much higher concentrations than gold, since it is added as a catalyst for gold dissolution.  The maximum Cu loading obtained on Amberjet-400 was about 22 kg/t while it was about 24 kg/t on IRA-400. These results indicate that gold can be removed from thiosulfate solutions rapidly and loaded on resins to very high concentrations. Subsequent gold elution with thiocyanate ions was very efficient; the concentration of gold on resin was reduced from about 2-3 kg/L down to less than 10 ppm (99,9% elution) under ambient temperature in 2-4 hours.

Abstract

Indonesia has great iron mineral resources, comprising primary iron ore (17 %), iron sand (8 %) and lateritic iron ore (75 %). Nowadays, Indonesia’s primary iron (hematite, magnetite) has not been em- powered yet, due to the scattered area of the resources location. Meanwhile, national iron sand is commonly used for cement industries and its potency has not supported national steel industries yet because of low iron content (45-48 %). However there is an opportunity to be processed by using Ausmelt process technology. At present, lateritic iron ore is being used as coal liquefaction catalyst in the form of limonite, but hydrometallurgy would be a promising solution to beneficiate lateritic iron ore for steel industries.

Abstract

Kaolin from Nagreg contains iron mineral particles approximately 0.58 % Fe that cause a grey color of the material . An effort to reduce iron content can be made by applying beneficiation test, using HGMS (High Gradient Magnetic Separator), so the kaolin may become white color and can reach the standard quality for paper industries. A HGMS beneficiation test was conducted at magnetic field strength of 5,000 Gauss. The experi- ments were carried out using variable flow rates of 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 3.5 liter per minute and slurry density of 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5 and 15 % solid. The results of experiments show that the optimum condition with flow rate of 2.5 liters/minute gave the quality of kaolin concentrate with iron content of 0.29 %Fe.

Abstract

An appraisal of the marine magnetic anomalies over the Belitung water provides information on the distribution of the magnetic susceptibility values. The 0.001 to 0.003 cgs unit contour values charac- terize the zone of submerged Belitung granite coincides with the zone of less than 50 nT total mag- netic anomaly contour value. Susceptibilities distribution analyses reveal a strong correlation between magnetic susceptibility and type of granites. The nature of submerged Belitung intrusive is suggested to be granitic pluton of biotite-granite that is associated with cassiterite minerals.

Abstract

Indonesian coal has a potential to be a major future primary energy source due to its large resource, easy and low cost of exploitation, good quality and supported by appropriate infrastructure. However, more than 65% of the coal resources are categorized as LRC and this type of coal needs to be upgraded before it is used and transported for a long distance. One of the upgrading processes is UBC. Kerosene, LSWR and spray oils are used for UBC process as heating media, material for closing coal pores and oil for briquette machine, respectively. The specification and price of kerosene in Indonesia which is used for both household and industries are controlled by PT PERTAMINA. However in the case of LSWR, PT PERTAMINA does not control the quality and the price. Therefore in the market there are different of qualities and prices of LSWR. All oil refineries belong to PT PERTAMINA produces LSWR and kerosene. They guarantee the con- tinuity of oil supply to customer. They recommend to utilize a heavy aromatic for kerosene substitu- tion and asphalt and decant oil to substitute LSWR. The oil will be transported to the UBC plant from the nearest oil refinery using lorries or tankers transportation agency that is recommended by PT PERTAMINA.

Abstract

Geological setting of the Cigudeg and Bojongmanik areas gives rise to the coal characteristics, par- ticularly due to the depositional environment and stratigraphic aspect. Those characteristics include lithotype, type and rank of the coals. The coals formed under wet-swamp condition to result in brighter lithotype and vitrinite-rich coal. By contrast, the coals formed under dry-swamp condition to result in duller lithotype and inertinite-rich coal. The Cigudeg coals contain clay minerals and quartz, whilst the Bojongmanik coals contain pyrite and calcite. These minerals are beneficial to interpret depositional environment of the coals. Ranks of the Bojongmanik coals are somewhat higher (lignite-subbitumi- nous C-B) that those of the Cigudeg coals (lignite-subbituminous B) according to the ASTM classifi- cation. These higher ranks are due to the thicker overburden on the Bojongmanik coals in terms of stratigraphic aspect. Regarding those petrographic characteristics, both coals are suitable for fuel of direct combustion for the small-scale and home industries that are available in the surrounding areas. Therefore, the coals can economically cope with the demand of those industries.
