Abstract

Global critical minerals will highlight critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt, rare earth elements (REEs) and nickel that are critical in the clean energy transition. The analysis also covers the distribution of critical minerals in different regions of the world, including Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. It also discusses challenges in the extraction and processing of critical minerals and implications for sustainable exploration practices. The method used was a literature review of journals. The results show that countries such as Australia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and China have significant critical mineral reserves. However, the African continent also has great potential in providing critical minerals needed for the clean energy transition. Therefore, emphasizing the importance of securing a reliable supply of critical minerals to support industrial and technological ambitions. In conclusion, then, with Australia, China, and Africa as major providers of clean energy, the provision of critical minerals such as nickel, lithium, cobalt, and REEs is essential for the clean energy transition and to control processes and reduce production costs, improve geological data and laboratory facilities for analysis are required. Indonesia has significant reserves for the global transition to clean energy and technological advancement. Hence, it is strategically positioned in the global mineral market as it becomes a focal point for geopolitical competition, especially between major powers. The regulatory framework in Indonesia can be complex and can pose challenges for foreign investment to enter, so addressing these challenges through increased research and regulatory alignment will be critical to unlocking Indonesia's abundant REE resources and meeting global demand.

Abstract

Ultramafic rocks, as the main raw material for the formation of nickel laterite in nature, are important object to study and explore for their availability since nickel is very important mineral in producing batteries for electric cars which is expected to reduce carbon emissions in the future. Along with that, the storage of carbon dioxide in ultramafic rocks is considered as one of the safest storage method because carbon dioxide reacts naturally with magnesium-rich minerals contained in these rocks. The reaction between carbon dioxide and magnesium-rich minerals such as olivine, pyroxene, and serpentine will produce magnesite (MgCO3), which is more stable in nature. Ultramafic rocks have wide distribution in southeastern arm of Sulawesi Island, especially in Sorowako and the surrounding areas. The method used in this research is an observation method on outcrops and supported by laboratory analysis. Ultramafic rocks in Sorowako area have wide distribution and have varying degrees of serpentinization. The magnesium (Mg) element contained in the research area is widely spread as well as the development of geological structure allows the potential development of ultramafic rocks as carbon storage.

Abstract

As a low-rank coal, brown coal is characterized to have high water content. It is required a method to improve coal quality that can be used for effective coal utilization. One of the methods is to apply thermal dewatering technology which focuses on improving the quality of low-rank coal using water medium and autoclave. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of coal to water ratio (w/v) and the effect of particle size of a low rank-coal on water content and calorific value using the hydrothermal method. Coal was processed under hydrothermal conditions at 150 °C for 60 min. For a mixture of 100 g of 25 mesh coal and 50 mL of water, the calorific value and water content after the hydrothermal process reached 5,849 kcal/kg and 5.10% (adb), respectively. While for a mixture of 100 g of 40 mesh coal and 50 mL of water, the calorific value and water content after the hydrothermal process reached 5,789 kcal/kg and 4.94% (adb), respectively. The calorific value obtained increased from the initial value of 3,296 kcal/kg and the water content decreased from the initial value of 44.34% for the coal condition before hydrothermal process. It can be concluded that the hydrothermal process with heating without oxygen carried out by a hydrothermal reactor could increase the calorific value of low-rank coal and reduce water content.

Abstract

Rock slope stability analysis in a geotechnical study is an important issue in mining engineering. Kinematic analysis is a well-known method to determine potential failures of the rock slope based on structural orientations, but it sometimes disregards the structural properties information. Structural properties are often known as the highly interpreted domains in rock slope engineering; thus, simplification was made for the analysis. Simplification may lead to vague conditions of analysis and reduce its accuracy. Therefore, the aims of this research is to assess the effect of rock structure properties such as heterogeneity, discontinuity, and anisotropic properties of the rock mass. The assessment conducted using the limit-equilibrium method employed the Generalized Anisotropic (GA) material model were compared with finite element method (FEM) using the shear strength reduction (SSR) method employing the joint network rock mass model. The analysis results show that an actual rock slope with a generalized anisotropic material model in the LEM analysis and joint network material model in the FEM analysis is stable with Safety Factor > 1, and the maximum strain model is less than the minimum strain threshold (maximum strain < 0.1). Combining rock slope stability analysis methods aims to produce accurate and representative results regarding the rock mass' condition. This research improves the interpretation of rock slope stability analyses, resulting in a more accurate estimation of the factor of safety (FOS).

Abstract

Coal mining has positive impacts in the form of increasing the national economy and people's income. However, it also has negative impacts, including the decrease of environmental quality such as air, soil, and noise, as well as the potential for spontaneous combustion. The research was conducted to assess the technical and economic aspects of environmental management at coal stockpiles in the Tarahan Port Unit of PT Bukit Asam Tbk to support environmental sustainability. The technical assessment of stockpile environmental management was carried out by comparing observation results with the Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan Document (RKL/RPL) and Indonesia’s applicable Environmental Quality Standards. The economic assessment focused on the cost of environmental monitoring and management by observing the discrepancies between the planned and realization in the first and second quarters. The technical assessment results show that environmental management at the stockpile has been implemented effectively. Air quality parameters and noise levels remain below the established standards, soil quality is classified good as indicated by vegetation growth, and no spontaneous combustion occurred during the observation period. The economic assessment revealed a discrepancy of 2.02% between the planned cost of IDR 121,183,548 to the actual realization of IDR 123,641,668. This increase was attributed to the construction of a dust reduction system and an operational chimney for the 2X8 MW Steam Power Plant, through the use of Electrostatic Precipitators. The study recommends a detailed inventory of environmental cost plans and potential cost escalation to anticipate risk factors. It also highlights the need for regular maintenance of machines that are known to frequently produce emissions. These efforts are expected to reduce the emissions and lower the costs of environmental management and monitoring.

Abstract

Open pit mining involves excavation of soil and overburden, which requires a well-planned disposal area to maintain stockpile stability. This is achieved through an analysis of soil bearing capacity and slope stability. The research was conducted at the ASTIM In Pit Dump (IPD) using actual materials. Data were obtained from direct shear tests and physical properties tests, then statistically analyzed to determine the average value, standard deviation, and minimum and maximum relative values. These data were subsquetly input into geotechnical software to perform a slope stability analysis under pessimistic conditions, including water-saturated slopes with a horizontal seismicity coefficient of 0.045. The simulation results did not meet the stability criteria, yielding a safety factor of 0.647. Therefore, engineering design modifications were necessary, including widening the slope angle to 7.61°, consisting of six steps with a level height of 5 meters, a width of 30 meters, and a slope angle of 25°. This redesign resulted in a safety factor (SF) of 1.254 which meets slope stability criteria based on Bowles (1989) and a probability of failure (PoF) of 4.1%, in accordance with the Decree of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 1827 K/30/MEM/2018.

Abstract

This research investigates ore samples from Cihaur Village, Sukabumi District, West Java, which exhibit significant skarn alteration in limestone, is examined for its petrographic and mineragraphic features. Secondary minerals identified include pyroxene, garnet, calcite, and opaque minerals, while the primary ore minerals are chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), galena (PbS), and sphalerite (ZnS). Five samples were analyzed geochemical analysis using the ICP-MS method to assess the concentration of important elements including Pb, Zn, Cu, Ag, Sb, Bi, Cd, Mg, Al, Ca, Fe, and As. Element distribution patterns were examined using spider diagrams, providing insight into environmental gradients influencing mineral exploration. The study revealed a high positive correlation between Pb and Zn, suggesting co-deposition in sulfide mineralization. Pb also correlates strongly with Ag and Sb. This study confirms the considerable economic potential of the Sukabumi skarn deposits for Pb, Zn, Cu, and precious metals such as Ag. Exploration value is increased when essential minerals like Sb and Cd are present. Variations in geochemical conditions indicate the influence of magmatic intrusions and hydrothermal activity on element distribution. These results provide a solid foundation for further exploration to delineate mineralization zones in the region
