Abstract

Granitoid outcrop has been observed in Montongan, Tulakan Subdistrict, Pacitan District, East Java. Geochemically, granitoid shows peralluminous S-type granitoid which consists of comparable plagioclase and potassium feldspar leading to adamelite and granodiorite variety with andalusite, fine size corundum and cordierite inside. These modal minerals are consistent with its bulk chemical analysis result that shows alumina rich rock. Highly weathered spotted pinkish soil with remaining quartz gravels characterizes its surface. Lateritic pink soil up to more than 25 meters thick covers the granitoid body and this feature is indicative to locate its surface distribution, while its subsurface distribution is remain uncertain. The research aimed to identify granitoid subsurface distribution. To identify the subsurface body, gravity and seismic tomography models were used. According gravity model, the pluton body is 5 km wide which is rootless downward and seems extends eastward. Meanwhile, the north-south seismic tomographic model across Pacitan Region indicates dense solid body override the recent Java subduction zone. The body is assumed to have correlation with surface granitic rock. It supports an idea that there is a micro continent trapped beneath Southern Mountain of East Java.

Abstract

Monazite (Ce, La, Nd, Th)PO4 with thorium (Th) content between 3-4 % is significant enough to be processed to produce Th. The initial treatments conducted by using carbonate base reagents (Na2CO3) for monazite leaching to fetch the uranium. The remaining tailings were dissolved with sulfuric acid to produce Th(SO4)2 solution which is then purified from its impurities. The processing is carried out continuously using a mixer settler with the process steps include Th extraction, Th stripping, and organic solvents regeneration. Thorium extraction uses a primene JM-T (RNH2) organic solvent which is a mixture of 0.15M Primene JM; 5% Tridecanol and 95% Kerosine. Meanwhile, the Th stripping process uses 2M HCl solution. For efficiency, regeneration of organic solvents uses 1% H2SO4. To obtain a high recovery and purity from Th, it is necessary to calculate the number of stage mixer settlers using the McCabe Thiele method. Based on the calculation, the number of stage for extraction process, Th stripping, and organic solvents regeneration are 3, 3, and 2 respectively. The total recovery of Th is obtained at 84.90 % where product purity reaches 99.02 %

Abstract

Mamuju is an area that has a high dose rate (radioactivity) value. The research area consists of 6 sectors namely Ahu, Orobatu, Takandeang, Botteng, Pangasaan, and Taan Sector. Lithological distribution does not represent the distribution of uranium; therefore geochemical method is needed to observe the distribution of uranium in the drainage system. The aim of this research is to provide an overview of the mobility and distribution of uranium in the drainage system using stream sediment. Uranium mobility analysis uses labile percent obtained from the ratio of total uranium and labile uranium, the total uranium value obtained from the measurement of X-Ray fluorescence spectrometry and the value of labile uranium obtained from measurement of labile fluorimetry. The sample taken from 4 potential areas based on radiometric value Map. The result of analysis shows that Ahu Sector has labile uranium anomaly >113.44 ppm, Pangasaan Sector with labile uranium anomaly >168.63 ppm, Takandeang Sector with uranium labile anomaly values >74.36 ppm, and Botteng Sector with uranium labile anomaly >84.23 ppm. The anomaly types identified from two sectors, namely Ahu Sector anomaly is related to the precipitation of dissolved uranium hydrolysates in stream deposit originating from Ahu lava and Tapalang breccia, while Takandeang Sector anomaly is related to the enrichment of in situ uranium in soil and Takandeang lava.

Abstract

Separation process of yttrium by extraction using TOPO solvents has been done. The purpose of this study is to find out the optimum condition of the variation effect of extractant concentration, stirring time, and acidity of the rare earth feed and to determine the distribution coefficient, separation factor, and extraction efficiency (%), using the liquid-liquid extraction method. The feed used were rare earth elements of xenotime sand. The extractant used in the research were TOPO (tri-n-octylphosphine oxide). Concentration of yttrium (Y), disprosium (Dy), and gadolinium (Gd) were determined using X-ray fluorescene spectrometer. Optimum conditions of the extraction process obtained from this study were: TOPO extractant concentration in kerosene 20%, stirring time 15 minutes, acidity of feed 0.5 M. Obtained value of distribution coefficient Y = 5.61; Dy = 2.06; Gd = 0.99. For extraction efficiency Y = 85.13%, Dy = 67.80%, Gd = 50.17% whereas separation factor Y-Dy = 2.7186 and Y-Gd = 5.6861.

Abstract

The area of Center for Research in Science and Technology (PUSPIPTEK) Serpong is 460 hectares wide. Most of the area is a Green Open Spaces (RTH). In the line with the growth of research activities, the need for infrastructure and building facilities also increases. As a national strategic facility, it is necessary to design buildings that are sturdy for and suitable with subsurface conditions. Geolectrical survey can be used to determine of subsurface condition/information. The purpose of this study is to obtain the ilustration of subsurface, based on the distribution of geoelectric resistivity values in the site of Experimental Power Reactor (RDE) construction. The resistivity data acquisition is using a multichannel resistivitymeter MAE X612EM+ type in 2-D by 48 channel of Wenner-Schlumberger configuration. The numbers of elctrodes used are 48 with an electrode interval of 5 m. Based on 2-D inversion model, there are four section models obtained, namely line-1, line 2, line-3, and line-4. The data error for each section is relatively small, less than 12%. Geological interpretation carried out in the section line-2 and line-3 illustrates the existence of layers A, B, and C. Layer A is interpreted as rock with silt to clay grain size containing organic material with resistivity values range 2-20 ohm-m and thickness varries in 1-7 m. Layer B is interpreted as sandstone which has a range of resistivity values from 10-90 ohm-m with thickness variations 5-20 m. Layer C is interpreted as claystone which has a range of resistivity values from 2-5000 ohm-m with depth variation in 10-20 m.

Abstract

Alumina waste from bauxite tailings is the by products derived from bauxite ore beneficiation. The beneficiation process is done by separating the particles that exist such as mud or clay, roots, grain, bauxite ore ranges from 2 mm are discarded or be referred to as a waste product or tailings. High concentration of alumina and silica in bauxite tailings considered as one of the reasons why these tailings can be used as base material in the making new products, namely synthetic zeolites. Zeolites synthetic is selected because zeolites are imported, expensive and have uniform properties and >150 types of synthetic zeolites can be made commercially and even in industrial zeolite can be used widely as an adsorbent, ion exchange, membranes, catalysts, etc. The chemical analysis of bauxite tailings showed the composition of alumina (Al2O3) is approximately 49.41% silica (SiO2) is about 12.58%, hematite (Fe2O3) is approximately 10.6% and some other inorganic oxides are small amounts. The conversion process bauxite tailings into zeolite is carried out by caustic fusion method to extract the fusion (alumina precursor) followed by the addition of sodium silicate precursor with synthesis formula 1.2Na2O.0.5SiO2.0.5Al2O3.10H2O and crystallization products is carried out by the hydrothermal method at low temperatures with variable incubation period specified. The results showed that the zeolite synthesis of bauxite tailings using caustic fusion and followed by crystallization at low temperature and under atmospheric pressure has succeeded in transforming the product into an amorphous phase to the crystalline phase product zeolite adsorbent.

Abstract

In resources estimation, geostatistics methods have been widely used with the benefit of additional attribute tools to classify resources category. However, inverse distance weighting (IDW) is the only method used previously for estimating the uranium resources in Indonesia. The IDW method provides no additional attribute that could be used to classify the resources category. The objective of research is to find the best practice on geostatistics application in uranium resource estimation adjusted with geological information and determination of acceptable geostatistics estimation attribute for resources categorization. Geostatistics analysis in Rabau Hulu Sector was started with correlation of the orebody between boreholes. The orebodies in Rabau Hulu Sectors are separated individual domain which further considered has the hard domain. The orebody-15 was selected for further geostatistics analysis due to its wide distribution and penetrated most by borehole. Stages in geostatistics analysis cover downhole composites, basic statistics analysis, outliers determination, variogram analysis, and calculation on the anisotropy ellipsoid. Geostatistics analysis shows the availability of the application for two resources estimation attributes, which are kriging efficiency and kriging variance. Based on technical judgment of the orebody continuity versus the borehole intensity, the kriging efficiency is considered compatible with geological information and could be used as parameter for determination of the resources category.
