Abstract

Mamuju area and its surrounding are composed of volcanic rock containing uranium (U) and thorium (Th) elements. Radioelements concentrations in the area reach 1,529 ppm eU and 817 ppm eTh. Radioactive minerals identified in the area are thorianite, davidite, gummite, and autunite. The geological structures were formed by tectonic activities which controlled the creation of volcanic complex and U-Th mineralization in the complex. Identification of geological structure in the field is very difficult due to densely vegetation and higly degree of weathering. The interpreted lineaments from Landsat-8 imagery are the manifestation of geological structures which have controlled the existence of U and Th. Lineaments analysis using Sastratenaya formula is used to obtain the relative age and chronologies of the lineaments. Dose rate measurements in the area show the trend of radioactivitiy anomalies are trending northwest–southeast. The Sastratenaya formula results the formed structures are relatively older and dominantly directing northwest–southeast (N 140o–150o E). Based on the linement interpretation, the dominant direction has similliarity with volcanic and radioactivity distribution. Structures which controlling the volcanic formation and related to U and Th mineralization generally are the northwest–southeast trending structures, which were created along with U and Th mineralization.

Abstract

Hydraulic interconnection of Jomblangan (Petung) cave with other caves and water discharges in Gunungkidul karst area has been investigated using tracer techniques and verified by stable isotopes and hydrochemical data interpretation. Many studies have been conducted to study the interconnections of underground rivers around Gunungkidul Karst area, most of them, however, focused on the interconnection of underground rivers around Bribin and Seropan caves. This is because of the development of micro hydro turbines to lift the water from underground river were still focused around Bribin and Seropan caves. Petung, located to the north of Bribin and Seropan caves, was believed to be one of the cave at the upstream of Bribin and Seropan caves, however, there is no evidence yet of the hydraulic interconnection between Petung cave with either Bribin or Seropan caves. The results of tracer technique at the current study, showed that there was no hydraulic interconnection between Petung cave with either Bribin and Seropan caves. On the other hand, the study showed an indication of a direct flow from Petung cave to Sriti and Beton springs. The travel times from Petung to Sriti and Beton springs were found to be around 2 and 10 hours, respectively. This finding is also in agreement with the results of chemical and stable isotopes analysis.

Abstract

Gravity method is a geophysical method that has been frequently used in prospecting mineral resources. The parameter of searched object is based on variations of gravity acceleration measurements on the surface due to variations in sub-surface geological changes. Research area is located in Mamuju Area of West Sulawesi Province where tectonically a complex geological region, which is at a meeting of three large plates, the Pacific plate, the Indo-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate and the smaller Philippine plate. In addition, Mamuju is an area with a high radioactivity dose rate that has potency to radioactive minerals resources. The purpose of the research is to obtain gravity anomalies by using qualitative separation and interpretation of regional and residual gravity anomalies. Complete Bouguer Anomaly (CBA) value of the research area obtained from the measurements was 46.0 – 115.7 mGal. Based on the CBA map, the separation process of regional gravity anomalies and residual using Gaussian filtering technique conducted. This filtering technique works based on spectral analysis of gravity amplitude changes in spatial where the result is a cutoff wave number of 1.1736 x 10-3/meter and a wavelength of 5373.45 m. The regional and residual gravity anomalies range from 51.8 to 102 mGal and -10.4 to 14.8 mGal respectively. The depth of influence of each anomaly is calculated based on their spectral wavelengths, resulting 970.97 m and 100.21 m for regional and residual anomalies respectively. There are five zones based on the residual anomaly map, which are zones A, B, C, D and E. The heaviest positive gravity anomaly is found in zone A and B, which is predicted to be influenced by Adang lava with relative north – south distribution.

Abstract

Thorium (Th) is a radioactive metal that can be formed along with uranumand rare earth metals (REM). Minerals contain radioactive elements are monazite ((Ce,La,Y,U/Th)PO4), thorianite ((Th,U)O2), and thorite (ThSiO4). Mamuju Area is containing radioactive minerals, thorite is one of them. To separate REM from radioactive elements can be conducted by exctracting thorium from thorite ore by acid digestion method using sulphuric acid (H2SO4), followed by leaching and thorium recovery in the form of thorium hydroxide by chemical precipitation using ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH). The experimental results showed that the optimum conditions of acid digestion that give the highest Th extraction percentage on solid to liquid ratio are obtained at 1:2 (g/mL) in 60 minutes with extraction percentages of Th, iron (Fe) and REM are 82.47%, 80.08%, and 83.31% respectively. The highest thorium precipitation percentage, as much as 95.47% , was obtained at pH 4.5 on room temperature (26 ± 1°C). At higher temperature (70°C), a lower percentage of thorium precipitation is obtained, as much as 83.69%. Pre-oxidation by using H2O2 solution with two times stoichiometry for 1.5 hours at room temperature is increasing Fe precipitation percentage from 93.08% to 99.93%.

Abstract

NMRS method has been used in the past 10 years with success in various geological context and groundwater exploration. This method has indeed the ability of directly detecting the presence of water through the excitation of the hydrogen protons of water molecules. The frequency to which the H protons react depends on the magnitude of the Earth magnetic field, while the intensity of the excitation determines the depth of investigation. The amplitude of the magnetic field generated in return by the water of a layer is proportional to the porosity of this layer, and the time constant of the relaxation curve is linked to the mean pore size of the material, that is to say tightly related to its hydraulic permeability. A field cases such as illustrate NMRS application that is taken from measurement at Mauritania. NMRS measurement results in dry areas indicate the time-relaxation amplitude is low (10 A-ms) and water content is 1%. While the results of the aquifer region NMRS measurements showed -relaxation-time amplitude is quite large (270 A-ms) and water content is 12-30%.
