Abstract

Anomalous radiometry has been found in Ampalas River Area on volcanic rock boulder. The values measured from gamma spectrometer are 787 ppm eU and 223 ppm eTh. This discovery is promising for exploration development. Further study need to figure the radioactive mineral bearing rock characteristic from in-situ samples. The research aim is to determine the petrology and geochemical characteristics of Ampalas volcanic rocks as preliminary study to find radioactive mineral accumulation process of Ampalas volcanic rocks. The methodologies are field observation, rock sampling, petrography, and X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) analyses. The Ampalas volcanic rocks consist of phonolite, phoidite, and phoid syenite. Their textures are porphyritic, flow, pyroxene rim, zoning, pseudo-leucite, corrosion, mafic inclusions, and sieve. The geochemical characteristics show high alkalinity and radioactive mineral enrichment disseminating on rock. The magmatic processes which play a significant role in radioactive mineral-bearing rocks formation are crystal fractionations (leucite and alkaline feldspar fractionations), continental crust assimilation, and magma mixing. Long interaction between magma and crust creates advanced magma differentiation causing higher uranium and thorium accumulation.

Abstract

Mamasa and Tana Toraja geographically are part of the western arm of Sulawesi Island. The mafic rocks in these areas and their surroundings have high radiation dose rate and thorium (Th) anomaly content. This research aim is to determine tectonic setting mechanism which play the important role on the increasing of Th concentration. Six rock samples were analysed using petrography and geochemical analyses (AAS, ICP-MS, NA, and XRF) completed with the 40K-40Ar dating on selected rock samples. Petrography observations show plagioclase, olivine, pyroxene, hornblende, nepheline, and allanite minerals presence in the rocks which identified as nepheline-basanite, basalt, trachybasalt, and gabbro. Numbers of texture appearances in the rocks indicate contamination and changes on tectonic setting. Geochemistry analysis shows that nepheline-basanite, basalt, trachybasalt, and gabbro (absarokite) were formed at the active continental margin (ACM), which is undergoing active subduction (westward subduction) to post-subduction transition. The changing of tectonic setting made magma solidify in extreme conditions. The magma solidify process is interpreted to occur at the age of 13.10-11.02 Ma. These mechanisms play an important role for the increase of thorium concentration in Mamasa and Tana Toraja.

Abstract

The presence of volcanic rocks in Sumatra is due to the subduction of the Indian-Australian Ocean Plate under the West Sumatra Plate since the Eocene. Tanggamus Regency situated at the southern edge of Lampung with the occurrence of several Tertiary and Quaternary volcanic rock units. The aim of this study is to compare the geochemical composition of Tertiary volcanic rocks from the Hulusimpang Formation and Quaternary volcanic rocks from Mount Tanggamus in the Tanggamus Regency. XRF and ICP-MS devices were used to determine the compositions of major oxides, trace elements, and rare earth elements in this study. Based on geochemical characters, samples from the Hulusimpang Formation are calc-alkaline volcanic rocks, metaluminous to peraluminous, and in the basaltic trachyandesite to rhyolite ranges. Quaternary samples are in a narrower range of silica content and tend to be metaluminous. This study proves that the two rock groups originate from the same magma but with crustal contamination during differentiation. The two volcanic should experience through different formation processes based on the slope of the heavy-REE and the type of Eu anomaly.

Abstract

Kulon Progo Mountain is Sunda-Banda Arc magmatism product composed of an old andesite formation. Sumbersari Area is part of the Gajah volcanic, which is the oldest rock of Kulon Progo volcanics. Indication of porphyry type mineralisation has been found in the area which makes the area interested for further research. The research methodologies are geological mapping, petrography and ore microscopy, and geochemical analysis using XRF and ICP-MS. Geology of the area located in central-proximal facies of Khuluk Gajah, consist of microdiorite, quartz-microdiorite, andesite, basaltic-dioritic andesite intrusions, and limestone. Hydrotermal alteration is developing into certain groups like illite-sericite ± secondary biotite, epidote-actinolite-calcite ± illite, epidot-calcite ± illite, and illite-sericite ± quartz. Some mineralisation phases are developed like epidote-actinolite followed by magnetite-chalcopyrite mineralisation, biotite-magnetite-chalcopyrite-bornite phase and the late phase of sericite-clay-pyrite replacing the entire system. Geochemical analysis on altered rocks show Cu-Au mineralisation indication ranging from 491-1,447 ppm (0.14%) and 0.02-0.3 ppm respectively, with Cu:Au ratio is 1.01. Geochemical characteristic shows strong correlation of Cu to Au.

Abstract

The effect of separating rare earths from monazite is wastewater containing the radioactive element thorium which is harmful to the environment and living things. A standard method of separating thorium from wastewater is with anion-exchange resin. This study determines the optimum type of anion-exchange resin, resin weight, and contact time to reduce thorium levels in monazite wastewater. The results showed that the optimum exchange rate that occurred in Amberlite IRA402 resin is 57.7%, at 60 minutes and 1 gram. Meanwhile, the optimum exchange rate for Tulsion A23 resin is 50.7%, at 50 minutes and 1 gram. The statistical test showed that there was no significant difference in the resin type and contact time variation, which showed a considerable value >0.05. At the same time there was a substantial difference in resin mass variation with a significant value <0.05. The Duncan test stated that lighter resin masses (0.25 and 0.5 gram) are suitable for Tulsion A23 and heavier resin masses (0.75 and 1 gram) are ideal for Amberlite IRA402.

Abstract

Thorium (Th) waste is an alpha-emitting radioactive waste that is harmful to the environment and living things so it is necessary to treat the waste effectively with phytoremediation. Phytoremediation is a plant ability to reduce pollutants presence in the environment. This research aim is examining apu wood plant ability to reduce Th contents from Th-contaminated waste. The UV-VIS spectrophotometer analysed Th level in apu wood plant and liquid waste while the Ludlum Model 1000 Scaler measured their radioactivity. The parameters for phytoremediation occurrence include the decreasing physical condition of the plants, the pH of the waste that is close to neutral, and the temperature that fluctuates with the ambient temperature. The results showed that the plant biomass of apu wood decreased after phytoremediation to 96.2% with a remediation efficiency of 97.4% from the initial concentration of Th liquid radioactive waste of 10 ppm. This is due to thorium absorption resulting in thorium accumulation in apu wood plants of 4,069.4 mg/kg. Apu wood was also able to reduce Th liquid waste radioactivity to 0.631 Bq/L from the initial radioactivity of 2.819 Bq/L. The radioactivity level is below the Klierens Level and it is safe to release the waste into the environment.

Abstract

A risk assessment of gamma radiation and radon gas exposure is carried out in the uranium exploration tunnel area to protect workers from the ionizing radiation hazards in the workplace. Measurement of gamma-ray exposure and radon gas concentrations were carried out in Remaja uranium exploration tunnel and around the workers camp in Kalan Area, West Kalimantan. Gamma exposure was measured using a gamma survey meter while radon (222Rn/220Rn) using RADUET passive detector. The concentrations of radon and thoron gas inside the tunnel generally are high, ranging from 188.84 to 495.86 Bq/m3 (375.80 Bq/m3 average) and 58.07 to 340.73 Bq/m3 (189.80 Bq/m3 average) respectively. These values are above the radon reference level (300 Bq/m3)which is recommended by the International Commission on Radiation Protection (ICRP). The annual gamma effective dose reaches 147.88mSv inside the tunnel. This value is exceeding the 20 mSv dose limit value for workers. It is necessary to control the exposure by fulfilled the principle of “as low as reasonably achievable” (ALARA) and external radiation protection to secure workers inside the tunnel from a health issue caused by gamma-ray, radon, and thoron exposures.
