Abstract

Semelangan study area included in the regional geology Ketapang. Geochemical analysis of sediment samples that represented showed that the region Semelangan Ketapang, District Nanga Tayap, Ketapang identified monazite deposite containing radioactive mineral. The monazite minerals containing rare earth element are potential. The presence of radioactive elements have been identified by the analysis granulometry of some pan consentrate samples. They containt of monazite grain mineral to reach 63% and some sample content of zircon grain mineral up to 40% (from total grains), grain analysis of rock samples are samples containing monazite 0.11 %. Activities study in this area is done by studying ecxisting data and laboratory data evaluation, which covering studies geological aspects, source rock, trap and plaser monazite deposits containing U, Th and REE and zircon. The objective is to obtain information about the character of geological and mineral resource distribution of monazite containing Th and U and rare earth elements in monazite and zircon. Source rock of the monazite minerals is a granite with aged 77-15 million (Yura - Late Cretaceous), including the S type granite group that formed in the alkali granite pegmatitic stage, which highly differentiated advanced at a temperature 550-6000°C. The radioactivity anomalous values is 400 c/s – 9200 c/s (biotite granite) with a mineral character of the form K-feldspar, quartz and plagioclase (K-feldspar to plagioclase ratio varies from 80-100 versus 10), containing minerals association such as thorit, monazite, zircon and alanit. The U content in granite rock ranging from 2.5 ppm - 64.8 ppm U. Lateral distribution plaser alluvial sediments contain monazite occupy flood plains of the valley between the hills, is located separately from the coastal plain and following the granite distribution pattern (source monazite). Monazite prospect region lies at the flood plains of the valley catcment area S. Pawan, S. Tulah and S Laur with a total area of 2.1135 million hectares.

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%.

Abstract

Monazite mineral chemically contained U, Th and rare earth elements (REE) that geologically associated with the presence of zircon as plaser beach and river sediments. Distribution of granite that containing monazite lays on a single point lead Malaysia, Bangka Belitung, Karimata. The content of monazite sands in concentrate reached 2.719% is in the granite contain monazite 1-2%. The purpose of this research are expected to get the geological character of information acquisition, distribution and potentially resource of Monazite in the10 km2 area​​. The method taken are the radioactivity measurement of rocks and sediment, heavy mineral sampling and laboratory analysis, including grain size analysis and the levels of U, Th and RE.The Results of research showed that, in geological rock formation composed of Carbon-old klampit - Perm who have metamorfosed and unbreakable then intrusived by granite Triassic - Jurassic containing monazite, zircon. Due process of weathering, sedimentation of mineral monazite, zircon separated and deposited as alluvial scattered trending NW - SE, which is reflected from the measurement data alluvial radioactivity ranged from 75-400 c / s. U concentration ranges from 9.5 to 76.5 ppm U and Th content of 55-610 ppm Th with the prospect area 399.3 Ha.

Abstract

The research of monazite processing have obtained the process to recover 62% of rare earth elements (REE) from following steps, such as decomposition, partial dissolution, precipitation at pH 6,3, and precipitation at pH 9,8. There was an increased efficiency of the process in 2009, when ion exchange is used in process development, and the REE recovery became 85%. Besides REE, monazite processing also produce uranium and thorium, but they not separated individually yet. The research of the U from Th separation from pH 6,3 precipitate dissolution by H2SO4, is carried out using solvent extraction method, which the extractant consist of Alamine-336, kerosene, and isodecanol. This research is purposed to obtain the optimum condition of separation uranium from thorium with solvent extraction, where U separated from Th as best as it could . The research’s parameters are feed pH, O/A ratio, and extraction time. And the result showed that the optimum condition were 1,5 of pH, 5 of O/A ratio, and 5 minutes of extraction time, and the percentage of U extracted was 100%, but 32,44% of Th also extracted. From the result, it has a conclusion that 67,56% of Th could be separated from U.

Abstract

This research purpose is to monitor the water quality of soil around the waste pond through measurement of chemical constituents (Ca, Mg, Fe, Ni, Zn, Cu, Pb, Mn and U) and water radioactivity. The water quality around tailing pond can be identified by analized the water sample from 4 control wells as deep as 20 m located on the fourth side of the pool and 2 comparison wells with a distance of 50 m and 100 m from the tailing pond. The measurement of chemical constituents of controll well water and comparison well water was done by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The measurement of Uranium content was done by using UV – VIS Spectrophotometer, whereas measurement of radioactivity was measured by Eberline SPA-1 α detector associated with a counter scalers Ludlum model 1000. Determination of the quality of well water was used Storet method. Measurement result obtained in 2010 : the chemical content water in the control wells; Ca (2.31 – 2.91) mg/l, Mg (0.22 – 0.34) mg/l, Fe (0.024 – 0.033) mg/l, Ni (0.0028 – 0.030) mg/l, Zn (0.0019 – 0.025) mg/l, Cu (0.038 – 0.060) mg/l, Pb (0.003 – 0.041) mg/l, Mn (0.004 – 0.005) mg/l, U (0.051 – 0.298) mg/l, Ni (0.003 – 0.004) mg/l, Zn (0.03 – 0.04) mg/l, Cu (0.004 – 0.004) mg/l, Pb (0.003 - 0.003), Mn (0.005 – 0.021) mg/l, and radioactivity of Uranium was (0.025. 10-3 – 0.028.10-3) Bq/l. The radioactivity of control wells in the first quarter (2.321 – 2.635) . 10-2 Bq/l, second quarter (2.162 – 2.823) . 10-2 Bq/l, third quarter (2.424 – 2.931).10-2 Bq/l, fourth quarter (2.283 – 2.643).10-2 Bq/l. The radioactivity of comparison well water in the firs quarter was (2.931 - 2.931). 10-2 Bq/l., second quarter (2.162 – 2.550).10-2 Bq/l, third quarter (2.931- 2.931).10-2, fourth quarter (2.450 – 2.632).10-2 Bq/l. This result showed that there are no pollutant release into the environment. Based on the evaluation result using Storet and US-EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) method, water quality around tailing pond of PPGN – BATAN is expressed as A in class classification (best).
