Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of magnetic concentration techniques for the beneficiation of borehole samples of Arasuko - West Sumatera iron ore. It is a low-grade type of ore sample (±35% Fe) with high silica and calcium content (±36%). Based on the fact, that there are appreciable differences in magnetic susceptibility between the desired iron minerals and the gangue minerals, hence, it was suggested that multi-stages magnetic separation may be useful to concentrate this type of ore. Because of the fine dissemination of the iron minerals and the most abundant gangue mineral, the particles size of ore was set at 80% passing 150 meshes. Rougher tests of magnetic separation produced concentrates with iron content of about 58.2% Fe; the tailing of rougher stage was then scavenged using higher magnetic intensity. Further, the rough and scavenged concentrates were mixed and fed into a cleaner stage with low magnetic intensity. Results indicate that the final iron concen- trate assaying of 68.1% Fe at a recovery of about 80% is achieved and reckoned as an iron premium-grade concentrate.

Abstract

Phosphorus is an essential element that regulates soil fertility. Its deficiency is replenished by chemical fertilizer made from phosphate rock. An environmentally friendly and economically alternative to chemical processing of phosphate rock is the use of phosphate solubilizing microorganisms. In this research, a potential phosphate solubilizing fungi were successfully isolated from the surface of Cijulang phosphate rock and identified as close relative of Penicillium sp. The phosphate biosolubilization capability of the fungus was tested and the influence of leaching parameters such as particle size of mineral, ore concentration (pulp density), and initial pH of medium was investigated using a shake flask study to characterize the solubilization of phosphorus by Penicillium sp. The x-ray diffraction data indicated the presence of hydroxyl apatite Ca5(PO4,CO3)3OH as the main source of phosphorus.The fungal strains of Penicillium sp produced oxalic and citric acids during fermentation of glucose which resulted in a drop pH of the growth medium. The results also indicated a potential relationship between the phosphorus biosolubilization and the production of organic acids by the fungus. In addition, particle size, ore concentration and initial pH were also shown to have significant effects on the solubilization of phosphorus from the phosphate rock. The optimal speed of attack was obtained for a surface area of substrate of .-200 mesh. A concentration of 5% solid gave the highest speed of P biosolubilization. The optimum range of initial pH was 6-7 and initial pH began to show an inhibiting effect at 4. The maximum percentage of soluble phosphorus released of 42.8% was attained using -200 mesh particle size, 5% pulp density and initial pH 6 after 16 days of process.

Abstract

There are two types of REE-bearing mineral in Indonesia, namely monazite and xenotime. Those minerals have not been further processed to obtain pure REEs or to obtain its oxides. The objective of this study is to study the performances of the REE extracted from monazite in acid method. The results show that the highest REE-extraction (28.41%) is achieved when the comparison between of sulfuric acid and water (v/v) is 1:2 with leaching temperature 220°C and leaching time 150 minutes. The process employed hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizer. Pregnant solution was then precipitated using sodium hydroxide and then was calcined at 900°C for 3 hours to produce RE-oxide. Characteristic of the RE-oxide contains such elements of Ce, Gd, Y, Nd, La, Dy and Sm within 29.10, 1.54, 1.53, 11.53, 14.02, 0.489 and 1.85%, respectively.

Abstract

Three types of base metal occurrences discovered along the Barisan Range, Sumatera are skarn, sedex and hydrothermal styles. The skarn styles include Lokop, Latong and Tuboh, while Dairi and Tanjung Balit belong to sedex and hydrothermal deposits, respectively. The Lokop deposit is dominated by galena with minor pyrite and is hosted within interbedded meta-sandstone, slate, phyllite, hornfels and quartzite of the Kluet Forma- tion. The Skarn Latong deposit consists of galena with minor sphalerite and chalcopyrite with skarn minerals of magnetite, garnet and calcite. It is hosted within the meta-limestone of the Kuantan Formation. The Skarn Tuboh deposit is dominated by sphalerite with minor galena, pyrite, manganese, hematite and magnetite. It is hosted within interbedded meta-sandstone and meta-limestone of the Rawas Formation. The Dairi deposit belongs to the sedimentary exhalative (sedex) type. It is hosted within the sedimentary sequence of the Kluet Formation. Two ore types known are Julu and Jehe mineralization. The Julu mineralization referring to as sediment exhalative (sedex), was formed syngenetically with carbonaceous shale. Ore mineralogies consist of galena, sphalerite and pyrite. The deposit was formed within the temperature range of 236-375°C with salinity ranges from 9,3-23% wt.NaCl. The Jehe mineralization which belongs to the Mississippi Valley-Type, is hosted within dolostone of the Jehe Member. Ores comprise galena, sphalerite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite and tenantite. The deposit was formed at temperature range from 193-400°C with salinity up to 38.2% wt.NaCl. The Tanjung Balit deposit belongs to the hydrothermal mineralization. The deposit is hosted within the sedimentary sequence of the Silungkang Formation. Ores consist of chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite with minor gold and silver. Hydrothermal minerals such as silica, illite, montmorillonite, pyropilite, muskovite, siderite, diaspor, dickite, magnesite, chlorite, carbonate, rhodochrosite, analcime, alunite, smectite, ankrite, calcite, dolomite, sericite and zeolite are common found. The Tanjung Balit mineralization is formed at the temperature range from 185-350°C and belongs to meso-epithermal type.

Abstract

Risk assessment of open pit slope stability is an important aspect to be considered in a decision making of slope design. The risk of slope failure that occurred on the slopes of the mine affect two factors namely the failure probability (FP), and consequences (C) of slope failure. FP is obtained from the collection of the value of Safety Factor (SF) < 1 compared to the total value of SF, while the consequences is estimated from the sectional area multiplied by the width of slope failure. Physical and mechanical properties of sandstone was collected from PT Adaro Indonesia, and tested by “Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S)” fitting method to obtain an assumed theoretical distribution that be sued with the character of the original distribution data. “Monte Carlo (MC)” and “Latin Hy- percube (LH)” sampling method is used as a tool to generate sample data, and both methods were compared. Finally Validation is conducted in order to propose an acceptable criteria of FP for single slope of sandstone.

Abstract

The commercial value of silica sand significantly affected by the presence and content of iron, aluminium and other metal impurities that can have detrimental effects on the manufactured product. A leaching technology on Sambiroto silica sand had been studied using chemical (HCl and H2SO4) and biological (Aspergillus niger’s metabolite) methods to remove undesired metal impurities and obtain a high purity silica. The rates and extent of chemical leaching and bioleaching were different depending on the leaching agents used and their concen- trations. The results showed that the laboratory experiments improved the silica sand sample to a high grade purity. The major and minor impurities of Fe, Al, Ca, Cr, Ti, Zr and Cu were reduced significantly by acid leaching with HCl and H2SO4 4M at 90°C, 30% pulp density for 4-hours process. The chemical composition of the silica sand improved with the SiO2 content increased from 97.24 to 98.77%, on the other hand, the sum of impurities decreased from 1.148 to 0.237 %. These changes bring the beneficiated product very close to a feedstock of metallurgical grade silicon for advanced materials. Among the tested methods, chemical leaching is the most efficient in terms of both increasing percentage of SiO2 and metal impurities removal compared to biological leaching. Nevertheless, bioleaching process is sufficient to produce silica sand with a desired minimum value of Fe and Al contents for high quality glass industries. Both process characteristics could facilitate their industrial applications.

Abstract

Based on mineralogy, physical and chemical analyses, character of gold-processing tailings from Pongkor showed relatively complex condition. Gold particles were normally included by either sulfide (pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, arsenopyrite, sphalerite etc.) or silicate minerals (mainly quartz). The inclusion structure performed single, double or multiple forms. Single inclusion meant that gold particle(s) was encased by one mineral phase while double and multi inclusions implied that the gold was sheathed by two or more phases. Gold was distributed along the micro-cracks of either similar or different phase. Chemical analyses showed that Pongkor tailings were characterized by several elements that might be ineffective for gold leaching by cyanide. Preg-robbing solution might be occurred.

Abstract

Experimental research and a fundamental study of carbonization of coal have been done by adding steam. The coal sample used in this study was obtained from Bayah, Banten, where the coal was mined by a small-scale underground mining. The study was carried out on a laboratory-scale of adjustable tube furnace reactor. The processes could give carbonized coal with a high calorific value (about 7,600 kcal/kg) and a high fixed carbon content (about 87 wt%). Specific surface area of carbonized products was also interesting as having for 160.5 m2/g. Specific surface area and pore distribution determined by BET techniques and also scanning electron microscope analyses were used to test for the pore and physical properties in the coal. In addition, changes in carbon functional groups and their properties were determined by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Raman Spectroscopy analysis of the products, upgrading process and maturation analyses.

Abstract

Due to the occurrence of slope failure at Pit A, on both side-wall and low-wall geotechnical study had been con- ducted to evaluate the slope stability whether the mining can be continued through the end of mine life or not. Slope stability modeling using Limit Equilibrium method shows that coal mining is feasible to reach the depth of ± 50m as stated in a previous plan. The previous design for sidewall has the overall slope of 400. This is not a stable condition with Safety Factor (SF) =1.050. As a result, evaluation of slope design must be conducted. The simulation shows that the slope must be changed to 300 in terms of reaching stable condition with SF=1.539. Previous design of the low wall that has the overall slope of 300 is stable with the SF=1.359 however, as the area is near settlements and Mahakam River, the pit slope must be reduced to 250 with SF=1,523. Slope stabil- ity simulation at the high-wall shows that the previous design with the overall slope 450 is stable for SF=2.418. It is not necessary to change previous design. However, to guaranty safety condition along mining area, it is recommended to make safety-berm to prevent the rocks enter the area.
