Abstract

The increasing need of magnesium sulfate heptahidrat by various industries and the limited availabil- ity of this material in nature are two reasons to produce MgSO4.7H2O synthetically. Basically, such a material can be produced from dolomite. A laboratory scale of dolomite-based epsomite making which employed two crystallization processes was conducted. Those were stirring and non-stirring methods and the results showed that stirring one yielded 98.2312 to 98.7244 % MgSO4.7H2O salt. The non-stirring method produced salts of 97.5929 – 99.0378%. Yet prior to salt processing, magne- sium sulfate solution was evaporated at 100 – 110°C to get solution densities around 1.35, 1.38 and1.4 g/ml. The bigger the density the bigger the MgO and SO3 contents

Abstract

Dealcalization of southern Cianjur bentonite has been done to improve bentonite quality by reducing the alkali element (Na and Ca) content as impurities. The experiment used ammonium hydroxide and citric acid. The reaction parameters such as particle size, solution concentration, percent solid, time and contact temperature were optimized. Results of dealcalization using ammonium hydroxide ob- tained the optimum condition at particle size of -200+325 mesh, concentration of 4 N, percent solid of 10%, contact time of 36 hours and temperature of 100oC with recovery as much as 32.55% for Na and 29.14% for Ca. Meanwhile, dealcalization using citric acid, got optimum condition at particle size of - 325 mesh, concentration of 2N, percent solid of 10%, contact time of 24 hours, temperature of 100oC with recovery as much as 33.01% for Na and 30.07% for Ca. The results also showed that both solutions gave better recovery for Na rather than for Ca. In conclusion, experiment using citric acid was better than using ammonium hydroxide as demonstrated by its higher recovery of alkali elements. However, results of this work have not met the standards of bentonite for catalyst hydrocarbon crac- king.

Abstract

Based on grain size analyses as well as microscopic and megascopic observations, coastal and seafloor sediments of northern Lombok Island are subdivided into 6 units : slightly gravely sand, slightly gravelly muddy sand, sand, gravelly sand, silty sand and slightly gravelly sandy mud. The slightly gravelly sand, sand and gravelly sand are of interest for its potentiality for construction material due to its widespread distribution and its low content of muddy and silty materials. Some offshore sediments are possibly landslide in origin as observed from factors such as steep seabottom slope of northern Lombok, graphic presentations of bimodal - polymodal histogram presentations as well as poorly sorted character of frequency curve diagrams and evidence from analog seismic record which demonstrates slumping of seabottom sediments.

Abstract

An accident occurred in bauxite-carrying barge at Kijang Island that caused the death of 3 workers urged Mining Business Unit for Bauxite of PT Aneka Tambang to ask RDCMCT to conduct a series research on the barge. Observation on the site sampled gas and water. Results presented that NO2, SO2 and CO contents were still the threshold value as stated in a circular of Minister of Manpower no. SE.01/MEN/1997. Seawater analyses showed that all elements were still below the allowed figures except for nitrogen-ammonia (N-NH3) that exceeded the threshold value (0.213-0.47 mg/l). Based on observation on the site and laboratory analyses, oxygen deficiency within compartment was the caused of the worker death.

Abstract

Recently, the use of coal briquette has already been socialized to substitute the role of oil and firewood in the household and small industries. In general the use of coal briquette burning stoves for household and small industries purposes is often conducted indoors, with inadequate ventilation. Yet knowledge of emissions from coal briquette burning stoves and how to evaluate emission and expo- sure levels are very limited and need to be developed. Study of indoor air pollution was undertaken to evaluate SO2, CO and NOx concentrations and its exposure potentials coming from the utilization of coal briquette for household and small industries purposes. Its results were compared to the charcoal burning process. To estimate the indoor concentration and exposure potential, the single-compart- ment mass balance model was used. Results show that the total amounts of hourly emitted SO2, CO and NOx for 1 kg coal briquette burning vary from 5.32-14.71 mg kg-1; 2.76-12.54 mg kg-1 and 112- 288 mg kg-1, respectively. While those emitted from charcoal burning are 0 mg kg-1, 6.79 mg kg-1 and 201 mg kg-1. The air exchange rate gives an effect to concentration level, peak indoor concentration and duration after the burning process. The hourly average concentrations of SO2, CO and NOx in the unventilated room are 22, 42 and 10 times, respectively higher than the used standards. While for charcoal burning, those were 0, 17 and 6 times, respectively.

Abstract

Bauxite residue emerges as the major waste material during production of alumina from bauxite by the Bayer’s process. An alumina refinery built in Tayan, West Kalimantan has a production capacity of 300 thousand tons per year. It means that it will produce red mud or bauxite residue approximately 300 – 350 thousand tons per year and washing residue around 200 thousand tons per year. Right now, it is stored in a nearby disposal area. This paper focuses on the characteristic study of the bauxite residue to evaluate the potential pollution risk to the surrounding environment. This experimental-based study is conducted to get appraisal and description of the residue regarding its utilization. Some characterization tests were conducted in the laboratory to find the properties of bauxite residue coupled with the previous study. It is found from the study that  bauxite residue shows radioactivity elements. It comprises of oxides of iron, titanium, aluminum and silica along with some other minor constituents in the form of heavy metals and rare earth elements. Hazardous elements such as As, Pb, Cr and Hg were found in bauxite residue samples. But, the toxicity test showed that bauxite residue samples were not classified as hazardous material. Some rare earth elements such as Ga, Ce, Sc, Pr, Gd, Tb etc., were also detected in the samples.

Abstract

Neodymium (Nd) is one of the rare-earth elements (REEs) found in significant amount within monazite and bastnasite minerals. Nd is a ferromagnetic metal that is often used as a material to produce magnet, commonly known as a permanent magnet. Neodymium is alloyed with other metals such as iron and boron to form one of the strongest types of permanent magnet. This research aim is to study the reduction process of Nd-oxide into Nd-metal through the metallothermic process. The Nd metal product is expected to fulfill the material specification for a permanent magnet. Thermodynamics simulation of Nd reduction into its metal was conducted using ITB’s licensed Factsage software. A validation experiment was conducted only to the Nd metal resulting simulation. The simulations involved some parameters, i.e. temperatures (600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100 and 1200 °C), types of fluxes  (CaCl2and Ca(OH)2), composition of the reducing agent (1x, 2x dan 3x of the stoichiometric calculations), types of the reducing agents (Ca and Mg), and types of feeds used (Nd-oxide and Nd-chloride). The thermodynamic simulation shows that Nd metal was produced in a condition where the temperature should be1100-1200 °C using Ca as the reducing agent and CaCl2 as the flux, while the amount of reducing agent has no effect on the resulted product. Validation result of the simulations shows that the Nd metal is formed up to 49% metal in a non-oxidative condition.

Abstract

Multi-array Electrical Resistivity Tomography survey was conducted in coal mining concession of PT. Bukit Baiduri Energi at the Marandai pit, Loa Janan District, Kutai Kartanegara-East Kalimantan. Data acquisition has been done using the MAE-X612 unit with 48 electrodes and 5 meters interval and the maximum length of the survey was 235 meters. The aim of the survey is to analyze resistivity images from three different electrodes configurations for interpreting coal seams and other lithologies. We deployed three configurations, including Wenner-Schlumberger, Dipole-Dipole, and Pole-Dipole in one traverse. The resistivity images analyses were constrained using geological and geophysical logging.  The result shows that the Wenner-Schlumberger array is the reliable result comparing to the dipole-dipole and pole-dipole arrays. This technique will apply for further assessment to provide the reliable result in this coal mining concession. Electrical Resistivity Tomography offers rapid mapping for shallow mine working up to 45-meter depth. This method can be applied to one or two hour’s measurements with 48 electrodes with maximum 5-meter electrodes interval. This method offers the possible saving of drilling cost by using resistivity profile for coal seam correlation instead of conducting more drilling.

Abstract

Due to increasing technological advancements, the demand for pure niobium products emanated from columbite ore processing has led to the wide array of its application in capacitors, nuclear uses, superconducting RF cavities, an electromagnetic radiation detector, medical devices, and aerospace among others. Therefore, this paper focuses on the kinetics of dissolution of a Nigerian Columbite mineral in sulphuric acid solution for improved industrial applications. The effects of acid concentration, reaction temperature and particle size on the ore dissolution rate were examined. Experimental results showed that the ore dissolution increases with increasing acid concentration and temperature and decreases with increasing particle size fraction. With 2 mol/L H2SO4 solution, 60.2% of the ore dissolved within 120 minutes using <90µm particle size at a temperature of 75°C with moderate stirring (300 rpm). The unleached products were analyzed and found to contain siliceous compounds applicable as industrial by-products. The calculated activation energy (Ea) deduced to be 30.3 kJ/mol supported the proposed diffusion reaction mechanism for the first order dissolution process with a collision factor of 0.12 per minute. Hence, the dissolution data obtained in this study is an indication of thermodynamic feasibility for Nigeria Columbite ore fitness in improving science and technology for economic growth and development.
