Abstract

Thorium and uranium in Bangka Island are mainly found in monazite mineral. In the geological point of view the monazite formed in S type granite, sandstones and alluvial deposits. In Bangka Baratwhere several S types granite and also alluvial deposites and this area considered as a potential area for monazite placer. S type granites are predicted as a source of monazite while alluvial deposits are considered as a dispersion place for deposition of monazite. The purpose of this study is to determine the geological information and to know the hypothetical potency of thorium and uranium resources in alluvial deposits. The methodsusedin this study are geological mapping, measurement of thorium and uranium contents in the rock, sampling of granite for petrographic analysis, sampling of heavy mineral in alluvial deposits for grain size analysis. Results of the research show that the lithology of West Bangka region composed of schist unit, meta-sandstone unit, granite intrusion, diabase intrusion, sandstone unit and alluvial deposits. Monazite is found in granite intrusion, sandstone unit and alluvial deposits. Evolving fault strend to northwest-southeast, northeast-southwest and west-east.The results of the grain size analysis of heavy mineral shows the average percentage of monazite in the heavy mineral is 6.34%. Other potential minerals contained in placer deposits are zircon 36.65%, ilmenite 19.67% and cassiterite 14.75%.

Abstract

Nenering Formation is essentially made up of semi-consolidated sediments, which are divided into basal conglomerate beds, conglomeratic sandstone, cross-bedded sandstone, and siltstone to muddy layers facies. It is overlie unconformable to the Berapit Formation, but conformable to the Kroh and Grik Formations. The stratigraphy of Nenering Formation is a fining upwards sequence where the thickness of conglomerate beds become thinner upwards and become thicker for conglomeratic sandstone. The thickness varies from 0.5 m to tenths of meters. The more sandy in the upper portion (cross-bedded sandstone) overlie with thin siltstone and mudstone facies. The clast and grain composition suggested that the material making up the sedimentary sequence were derived predominantly from the erosion of granitoid rocks and sedimentary and metamorphic rocks constitute a minor provenance. Imbrications and the trend sizes of clasts indicate that the palaeo-current flow toward northeast. Cross bedding that was found in conglomerate and sandstone indicates the main channel depositional environment. The sequence stratigraphy of this area match with the Saskatchewan fluvial braided channel model.

Abstract

Lemajung sector, is one of uranium potential sector in Kalan Area, West Kalimantan. Uranium mineralization is found in metasiltstone and schistose metapelite rock with general direction of mineralization east-west tilted ± 70⁰ to the north parallel with schistocity pattern (S1). Drilling evaluation has been implemented in 2013 in Lemajung sector at R-05 (LEML-40) with total depth of 300 meters and has been completly with well-logging by gross-count gamma ray. The purpose of this activity is to determine uranium mineralization grade with quantitatively methode in the rocks and also determine the geological conditions in sorounding of drilling area. The methodology involves determining the value of k-factor, geological mapping for the sorounding of drill hole, determination of the thickness and grade estimation of uranium mineralization with gross-count gamma ray. Quantitatively from grade estimation of uranium using gross-count gamma ray log can be known that the highest % eU3O8 in the hole R-05 (LEML-40) reaches 0.7493≈6354 ppm eU found at depth interval from 30.1 to 34.96 m. Uranium mineralization is present as fracture filling (vein) or tectonic breccia matrix filling in metasiltstone with thickness from 0.10 to 2.40 m associated with sulphide (pyrite) and characterized by high ratio of U/Th.

Abstract

This study was conducted based on the findings of radioactive minerals in the form of indication of relatively high radiation dose rate anomalies. The hypothesis underlying the existence of a high radiation dose rate is the deposition of uranium derived from basalt rock Auwea Formation, uranium enrichment derived from limestone to the soil surface, and the deposition of uranium resulted from the use of fertilizers in agriculture. Therefore the research aimed to obtain the conclusion of its hypotheses. Research methodology applied is geological mapping, radiometric measurement of uranium (U), thorium (Th), and potassium(K) in the field using RS 125 to determine in-situ grade of elements, radiometric measurements of plant fertilizer, sampling, and laboratory analysis of the element grade. Based on the analysis and evaluation of survey data it is known that in the area around Maryendi, Darmapis and Denafi, indicate the presence of anomalous zones which is characterized by the presence of uranium (U) dark brown soil – reddish brown, with the value of the radiation dose of 1.9 to 4,032.3 nSv/h and grade of uranium (U)has 20.27 to 325 ppm eU. Based on the analysis of source rock of uranium, it is concluded that limestone is the source rock of uranium in research area. The results of field observations of the fertilizer and basalt rock of Auwea Formation, it is found that no anomalies may indicate material/rock that acts as the source of uranium.

Abstract

Data and information collection aimed in order to meetthe needs ofthe initial designfor pilot plantof monazite processing into thorium oxide (ThO2). The content ofthorium inmonaziteis high in Indonesia between 2.9 to 4.1% andrelatively abundantin Bangka Belitung Islands. Thorium can be used as fuel because of its potential is more abundant instead of uranium. Plant of thorium oxide commercially from monazite established starting from pilot plant in order to test laboratory data. Pilot plant design started from initial design, basic design, detailed design, procurement and construction. Preliminary design needs includes data feed and products, a block diagram of the process, a description of the process, the determination of process condition sand type of major appliance has been conducted.
