Abstract

As an agricultural country Indonesia requires NPK fertilizer up to 2.6 million tons per year. However, such a number is mostly fulfilled by imports, particularly potassium (K) fertilizer. Almost a 100% of K-fertilizer comes from Canada and Russia in the form of KCl (sylvite) salt. Indonesia does not have sylvite mineral, but retains some K-bearing minerals such as K-feldspar and leucite. Both are different in characteristics from sylvite. K-feldspar and leucite are the alumino-silicate minerals. They require special treatment to process them into K-fertilizer. Several techniques can be applied to process both minerals, such as by mechano-chemistry, leaching, alkali fusion and bioleaching. Research on the utilization of K-source minerals as a raw material for K fertilizer is rela- tively rare. The opportunity to conduct such a research is widely open, as currently conducted by the Research and Development Centre for Mineral and Coal Technology.

Abstract

Mining companies as the stakeholder of the community should implement community development (CD) as a translation of corporate social responsibility (CSR). In other words, they should involve business activities for developing humankind. The application of CSR in the general mining in Indonesia is expected to encourage min- ing company to allocate its profit for developing the local people who live around mining area. The quantitative models for evaluating the CD impact include net social gains (NSG) and net gain coefficient (NGC). The NGC shows that the value between 1 to 23% of the companies’ revenue has satisfied the local people. The values could be increased in the future to make beneficial for the regional sustainable development.

Abstract

Efforts of Indonesian Government in diversifying the available fuels from domestic coal in the forms of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels open the pissibility to overcome the depleted domestic oil reserves. Within the coming few years, Indonesia will be a net oil consumer after being the net oil importer in 2003. In the last forty years, Indonesian energy consumption was heavily depended on oil fuel. To meet the increase domestic energy demand, a large quantity of domestic coal reserves should be diversified into briquette, synthetic oil and gas as well as other non-fuel or chemical products. All these diversified products are expected to be economically competitive as well as environmental friendly using clean coal technology. This article is an evaluation on study results compilation of Indonesian coal utilization and diversification in the last 15 years

Abstract

Reformation in Indonesia has resulted in a new policy, which is widely known as regional autonomy. In imple- menting this decentralisation concept, provinces, regencies and cities as governmental units are being given huge authorities and wider opportunities in terms of managing and developing their areas. This policy, however, could not be interpreted that the central government is transferring an absolute authority. It has to be viewed and be functioned properly as an instrument to accelerate regional developments and to contribute comprehensively to national development as well. In West Papua, natural resources management including mining sector has been a crucial part affecting the implementation of decentralisation. Managerial aspects that consist of planning, organising, monitoring and evaluating seem to be more complicated in practical actions. Therefore, a question usually appearing to be answered is that has West Papua been prepared and capable to face this policy with considering that this long-term policy might have numerous external and internal factors constraining its success. To determine the level of regional capability in facing mining sector autonomy, data regarding mining resources, human resources and regional income of mining activities had been collected from four samples of regencies, namely Fak-Fak, Sorong, Raja Ampat and Teluk Bintuni. These date were then evaluated using factor analysis to be rated and interpreted. The results show that the capability level of Teluk Bintuni is low. Sorong and Fak-Fak have medium levels, and  Raja Ampat is in high level.

Abstract

Biomass and coal blend combustion or co-firing is a promising combustion technology. However, significant development work is required before large-scale implementation can be realized. Issues related to successful implementation of coal biomass co-firing mainly for power generation should be identified. This paper presents the results of the study on blended coal-biomass characterisation, particularly the ash chemical composition and ash fusion temperature to predict the slagging and fouling propensity in a coal fired boiler. The coal used in this research has a calorific value of 5,067 cal/g and the ash fusion temperature of softening temperature in oxidation condition (softening temperature-ox) is 1,228ºC, while the biomass used was baggase, straw and rice husk with the calorific value of 4,144; 3,545; 3,301 cal/g and the softening temperature-ox of 1,303; 1,420 and >1,500ºC, respectively. Experimental results for some varieties of fuel blends indicate that the proportion of 95%-5% of coal and baggase has the highest softening temperature-ox of 1,225ºC. The blend of coal and straw resulted in the highest softening temperature-ox of 1,240ºC at 95%-5%, while the blend of coal and rice husk, the highest softening temperature-ox of 1,235ºC was reached at the proportion of coal and rice husk at 90%-10%. According to the slagging and fouling index, blended coal and straw shows the best performance compared to that of blended coal either with baggase or rice husk

Abstract

Kedondong gold ores seem promising to be processed. Referring to its mineralogy characters, the ores can be treated by gravity concentration method that include Knelson concentrator, shaking table, jig and sluice box as well. Processing the gold sample coded A from Kedondong, South Lampung by Knelson concentrator increased the Au grade from 21.87 to 399.76 g/t. Its recovery was 91.57 %. The silver grade also improved from 287.83 to 3,427.12 g/t performing recovery of 49.65 %. Re-processing Knelson concentrator concentrates using shaking table enlarged the Au and silver grades to 1,199.28 and 5,430.80 g/t respectively. Both Au and Ag recoveries were around 89.84% and 47.45% respectively. Another sample, coded B, provided grade 165.80 g/t Au (from 8.93 g/t) and 3,275.05 g/t Ag (from 172.73 g/t) when processed by Knelson concentrator. A shaking table process for such a B-Knelson concentrate yielded the Au and Ag grades to 710,05 and 13.800,80 g/t respectively and also improved the Au and Ag recoveries to 85.56 and 85.17%. Concentrate Sample A has satisfied the requirement for final processing using smelting method, however, Sample B still needs more shaking table process in order to get satisfied condition for smelting process, namely the grade of gold >1,000 g/t.

Abstract

Tin-based fuel catalyst, if dipped into a gasoline-containing tank will increase fuel efficiency. The catalyst has been used since 60 years ago. Its usage will save the fuel and increase the use of tin as expected by tin-producers. Though the mechanism of catalytic reaction has not been clearly understood, several research regarding catalyst performance have been conducted. Moreover some companies have already produced such a catalyst. The tin alloy catalyst was made by melting tin and other metals at specific compositions in a burner and casted into dif- ferent shapes. In term of evaluating the contact between the fuel and the catalyst as well as assessing the alloy catalytic mechanism, the samples were dipped in gasoline and stirred for 3 days. The gasoline with and without catalyst were analyzed using infrared and showed that the spectra appeared at 875, 835, 538, 343 and 229 cm-1 after 3-day dipped. The peaks resulted for catalytic interaction between Sn and gasoline. Fuel efficiency was measured through static and dynamic tests. The former was conducted using a genset and lawn mower by running the diesel-containing engines in empty load condition. The result showed that efficiency of catalyst-containing diesel consumption was still low, ranged between 0.6 - 5%. Other static tests were performed at LEMIGAS using Toyota and Isuzu car engines. Using gasoline and diesel respectively. Effect of catalyst on the car with gasoline improves engine capacity to 8.79%, and increases fuel consumption to 1.03%. The catalyst applied the car with diesel enhances the capacity to 11.38 % and increases fuel consumption to 9.39%. Dynamic tests conducted to motor bikes and cars show the efficiency of fuel consumption around 5-17.5%. It means that tin-alloys based catalyst for efficiency of fuel use is prospective. Such a catalyst is easy to be made and utilized.

Abstract

Excessive vibration that causes damage to model the medium such as mine slope can physically and numeri- cally be modelled. The slope of this study simply represents the actual view of the slopes that has a smaller size than the actual one, while the numerical model is relates to a mathematical form of slope condition that based on physical and mechanical data of the medium. The slope failure has experimentally been built several variations. Effect of vibration is echieved by connecting the models into the vibration instrument with bearing that can horizontally move free in line within the determined track. The instrument is attached to a spring that can pull the model to side out. The spring is placed in an iron frame. Proviously, the slope has been formed in critical condition one (angle of 30°). Physical model and laboratory test results were used as an input for numerical modelling of the slope failure. Based on the numerical analysis, the SRF was 0.47 for D equal to 2 cm g around 0.0025. If the g’s were around 0.0057 and 0.0088, the obtained SRF for both g’s were 0.44 and0.41 respectively. While the D of 4 cm and g of 0.0024 came the SRF of 0.54, the g of 0.0064 derived the SRF of 0.48, and the g of 0.0106 obtained the SRF of 0.44. For D equal to 2 cm and g 0.0024, 0.0106; the obtained SRF was 0.54, 0.48 and 0.44 respectively. Increasing the D to 6 cm within variation of g from 0.0025, 0.0062 and 0.0106, the SRF was 0.51, 0.48 and 0.44 respectively. It is assumed that there is a correlation between the thickness of quartz sand layer and the decrease of SRF value. The correlation also occurs between the increase in vibration (g value) and the SRF.

Abstract

Indonesian government regulation No 85 year 1999 regarding management of hazardous material states that in order to identify and to define coal ash as hazardous material or non hazardous material, the coal ash should be evaluated by characteristic and toxicity tests. In this study, the properties of coal ash sample from Bukit Asam power plant were evaluated using chemical analyses and bioassay of Lethal Concentration (LC50-96 hour) and Lethal Dose (LD50-96 hour). The chemical analyses shows that the main chemical compositions of Bukit Asam coal ash were SiO2 (60.6 %) and Al2O3 (22.8%). Bukit Asam coal ash was categorized as non toxic criteria as its LC50-96 hour value exceeded 100,000 ppm. Meanwhile, the result of LD50-96 hour shows that mortality of mice was not found in every dose given (500; 5,000; 15,000; 30,000; 50,000 mg/kg BW) for 0-96 hours of observation so it can be classified as a non hazardous material based on the Indonesian government regula- tion. The results of TCLP test reveal that the concentrations of all the heavy metals were invariably well below the permissible limits for discharge of effluents according to Indonesia regulation and US. EPA standard. Thus, it was also categorized as non hazardous material. Radiation dose of Bukit Asam coal ash was 0.41 mSv/year and it was under standard limits for human being (1 mSv/year). The mean heavy metal contents in Brassica chinensis tissues with three times cultivation were above the WHO limits level. However, the addition of 17.5% coal ash in growth media drastically decreased heavy metals content (Cu: 25.6; Pb: 66.6; Cd: 48.8 dan Cr: 8.29%) into the lowest content. The results generated from this study indicated that Bukit Asam coal ash has a vast potential for reclamation of degraded coal mining land.

Abstract

This paper provides an analysis on the effect of combustible content in coal ash refuse the efficiency towards combustion and heat thermal oil heater system in a coal furnace that had been studied. The study investigated the discrepancy of the actual performance of the heater compared to that as stated in the design specification. The study assumed that coal type and operational problem were the cause of deviation. Both affect combustion efficiency and the amount of reactive materials within coal ash refuse. Combustible content within the coal ash refuse was the used as the source data. Using indirect method, the amount of losses can be determined from the amount of combustibles in the coal ash refuse. The work involved measuring the temperature of oil and flue gas, analyzing the ash content and calculating the losses based on two sets of operational data. System efficiency and heat exchanger rating were calculated by reducing the amount of total losses from the full design capacity. If the reactive composition within the coal ash in combustible content, the amount of coal consumption is higher in order to attain the heat desired capacity for heating. Such a contition is caused by decreasing the energy capacity and reducing the furnace effectiveness
