Abstract

Bentonite can be used as an additive in ceramics production. It can increase the thermal resistance and flexural strength of ceramics. Indonesia has a large amount of bentonite deposit. One of them is located in Karangnunggal, Tasikmalaya. The aim of this research is to study the effect of bentonite to increase the flexural strength of ceramic. The raw materials consisting of kaolin, feldspar, and quartz were used as raw materials in ceramics production. The weight percents of kaolin and quartz were fixed at 55 % and 20 %, whereas weight percents of feldspar and bentonite were varied at 25 %, 20 %, 15 %, 10 % and 0,5 %, 10 %, 15 %. The firing temperature was kept at 1,200 °C. Result of the experiment shows that the best composition to achieve the highest dry flexural strength at 254.70kg/cm2 is at 55 %kaolin, 20 % quartz, 15 % feldspar, and 10 % bentonite.

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

Indonesia has large amount of laterite deposits located in Southeast Sulawesi. The laterite contains significant amount of iron. The ore has been processed through high temperature. The high temperature consumes a lot of energy and releases a lot of carbon dioxide. The low temperature of the process is simple and needs less energy. Leaching the ore is the important stage in low temperature which determines the recovery of valuable metal from the ore. This work observes the kinetic aspect of iron dissolution in the process based on the shrinking core model. The data of iron dissolution at temperature 30, 50, 70 and 90°C are plotted into chemical reaction control and diffusion control equations. The result shows that at 30 and 50°C, the whole leaching process is controlled by the rate balance between chemical reaction and diffusion, whereas at 70 and 90 °C, the reaction is controlled by diffusion.

Abstract

Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a procedure to extract synthesis gas (syngas) from the insitu underground coal seams that could not be extracted by conventional mining methods. This is a clean technology as an alternative method for direct insitu coal conversion. This process involves some heavy equipment and complex operation. Hazards identification and risk assessment in the UCG Project involve identifying the environmental hazards that cover physical, chemical and biological environments to predict the process sequences, its frequency as well as consequences that lead to those hazards. The assignment of risk level is also conducted to design corrective action in minimizing the risk or eliminating the hazards. The environmental condition of the project plan is generally good with the fulfillment of the established environmental quality standards.

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 research location is in the PPSDM Geominerba field campus. The campus is located in Padalarang, West Java that is surrounded by the open-pit mining of limestone and marble. This limestone was formed in Oligo-Miocene of Rajamandala Formation. The research objective was to determine the condition of the slopes around the campus based on geomechanical characteristics. Based on field observations, the slope angle in the area is dominated by steep slopes. The rock hardness level is dominated by hard rock with a hardness ranging from 50-100 MPa. Rock Mass Rating shows that the area is dominated by good rocks. While the Slope Mass Rating calculation show that the maximum slope angle is between 52-75°. Level of deformation and intensive weathering process will reduce the strength of the rock in the future. Several rock fall occurrences on this research area support this assumption. Yet, some local open pit mining area activity near the toe hill of the area need to be concerned regarding the effect of the local rock fall occurrences.

Abstract

Based on the 2018, there a mining plan, two temporary sumps, namely the ABC and BCD sumps. They located in a mining sequence pattern. These sumps required a  mud loading process prior to mining the coal below the sequence. The mud loading process is loaded sequentialy. However, the problem occurs when the mud loading process in the ABC sump is delayed, and resulted only 42% of mud production. Such the delay resulted in hindering the mining sequence pattern which forced changes in plans, designs, and decrease of coal production. These condition led to study the cause, impact, and alternative solution of the delay during mud loading process. The method used in this study includes direct observations and data collection of working conditions, equipment capabilities, material properties, and operation timeline. In this study, the statistical analysis is used to determine the cause and effect of delayed mud loading process. A Minex Software is then used to simulate the alternative of redesign the mining sequence pattern. The study found that the delay in mud loading process is due to the external and internal factors, that result in underproduction of coal only 505,833 tons, and delayed of coal production around 64 days. An alternative that can be conducted is to change the direction progress to the area that has low stripping ratio.  Factors that can hinder the progress are need to be considered for anticipating the plan distraction at mid-term-plan.

Abstract

The degree of density and saturation in soil sample under constant specific gravity conditions are influenced by the addition of water content. To find out its effect, it is necessary to test the samples which include compaction, moisture content, specific gravity and density testing. By recognizing the soil properties through a testing and calculation; dry density, saturation density, dry soil volume, pore volume, degree of saturation, porosity, and void ratio can be evaluated. The test shows that the optimum moisture content and dry density are 53,25% and 1.08g/cm3 respectively. The tests were conducted to five samples that have a specific gravity of 2.67. The obtained saturation degree were S-01: 79.05%, S-02: 92.40%, S-03: 95.06%, S-04: 94.64% and S-05: 93.12%. The value of water content in the five samples was S-01: 48.87%, S-02: 51.04 %, S-03: 53.25 %, S-04: 55.32 %, S-05: 57.24%. The densities in five samples were S-01: 1.50 g/cm³, S-02: 1.63 g/cm³, S-03: 1.64 g/cm³, S-04: 1.62 g/cm³, S-0 5: 1.59 g/cm³. The saturation degree will increase along with the addition of the water content and the density. However, beyond the optimum addition of the moisture content, the saturation degree will decrease in line with the density even though if the water content increase. This occurred in the constant condition of the specific gravity.

Abstract

A direct reduced iron (DRI) was prepared using iron concentrate pellets and a coal as a reductant through three stages, namely, the first: iron concentrate pellets were dried by slow heating at 150°C to remove water content, the second: they were heated at 1,200°C to reduce magnetite into hematite which was treated in two different conditions, namely by oxygen and without oxygen injections; and the third: they were reduced in an atmosphere of CO/CO2 at various temperatures of 950-1,200°C. In this reduction process of iron oxide would be reduced by CO to metallic iron (Fe). The experimental results showed that the metallization without oxygen injection produced the best metallization at 1,100°C and the ratio of carbon/iron (FC/Fe) of 0.52 to result 84.54%, contained 74.68% Fe and 88.34% Fetotal. The metallization by oxygen injection produced the best metallization at 1,100°C, providing result of 96.81%, Femetal of 87.88% and 90.78% of Fetotal. The iron oxides on the DRI were relatively low, namely 2.9%. In this research, prior pellets preparation a magnetic oxidation process on iron ore concentrate was also conducted and changed the magnetite into hematite. The reduction process on its pellets produced 94.15% metallization at 1,100°C, and the DRI contained 97.85% of Fetotal, 85.32% of Femetal and 5.35% of Fe oxides. Furthermore, analyzing a remained carbon of the DRI using microscopy to seek the metal structure formed. The remained carbon was reported around 1-6% C. Next smelting process, it is suggested to have a high residual carbon concentration as there will be a carbon boil mechanism to reduce iron oxides that are still lagging on the DRI.

Abstract

The stability of slope, both on the slope of work and the final slope, is a very important aspect of slope stability, both on the slope of work and the final slope in open pit mining activities. The inconsistency of the slopes will result in the collapse of rocks around the excavation site. This happens because the condition of the rock when it has not been excavated is generally balanced. However, due to the discontinuous patterns that occur other than naturally and also due to the mining activities such as excavation, blasting and others, cause a reduction in the retaining force of the rock on the slope results in the equilibrium of the force tends to shift and is not balanced. Study of the stability of the open pit highwall slope at PIT 22 GN PT Kitadin Site Embalut, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan Province was carried out with the aim to know the rock characteristics, to calculate slope geometry stable safety factors, and to recognize the type of landslide using a bishop method. The results of the modeling consist of several heights and slopes, as well as angles that is formed. Section AA’ has a safety factor value of 1.387, section BB has a safety factor of 1.482, section BB' has a safety factor value of 1.390, section DD' has a safety factor value of 1.318, section EE has a safety factor value of 2,381, section FF' has a safety factor value of 2.426, section GG' has a safety factor value of 2.424, section HH 'has a safety factor value of 2.339.
