Abstract

Previous researches have obtained the monazite processing stages and resulting RE(OH)3 as a product with ± 62% of recovery, and the by products obtained in the form of a compound of thorium (Th) and Uranium (U). For further utilization, studies of U and Th separation is needed. This research is aimed to determine the optimal conditions for the separation of Th from U in monazite using the precipitation method with H2SO4 as a reagent. Stages of the process in this research consisted of grinding, decomposition, partial dissolution, total dissolution, and precipitation of Th with H2SO4. Feed solution used for precipitation is obtained from total dissolution stage with 2 different reagents are H2SO4 and HCl. Parameters of the research include the precipitating reagent (H2SO4) consumption and precipitation time. Optimal recovery results in the precipitation of sulfate feed solution are Th = 96.99% and U = 18.26% with 20 ml of H2SO4 consumption and 30 minutes of precipitation time. Optimal recovery results in the precipitation of chloride feed solution are 98.05% andU 25.03% with 20 ml of H2SO4 consumption and 30 minutes of precipitation time.

Abstract

Jumbang I sector is a part of the basin Kalan, West Kalimantan. As the other areas in Kalan, Jumbang I also have geochemical anomalies of uranium element in Vein of quartzite rocks at several locations, with high grade and radioactivities value between 500 c/s - 15000 c/s. Besides of the uranium element there are other elements included Co, Ni, Ag and Mo. The analysis result of 49 rock samples using Fluorimeter Jarell Ash obtained grades of U: 13 ppm - 31000 ppm and by Atomic Absorption Spectrometer obtained grades of Co : 1.5 ppm - 83.5 ppm, Ni : 15.2 ppm - 507.6 ppm, Ag: 1.2 ppm - 10.8 and Mo: 31.7 ppm - 10 738 ppm. To determine of element relationship in these rocks is using correlation method. The aim of this study is to determine of the relationship between U and Co, Ni, Ag, Mo elements. The methods of this study are statistical regression and correlation. The results of this study are obtained the correlation coefficient (R) between U – Co = 0.23, U - Ni = 12.15, U - Ag = 0.50, U - Mo = 0.86. Correlation coefficient (R) 0.86 can be interpreted as a high correlation, it means that the U element has strong associate with Mo element and weak associate with Co, Ni, Ag elements.

Abstract

The amounts of structural data available from the East-West Highway Route 67 of Baling Area have been used to unravel the structural characteristics of the Semanggol Formation, which comprises black mudstone, sandstone, tuffaceous sandstone, tuff, paraconglomerate, siliceous shale and chert. The area was cut by two sets of faults trending NW-SE and NE-SW. The main fault in this area is known as Bok Bak fault that is trending NW-SE and have moderately to steeply dips (40o-88o) as compared to the conjugate faults. Two sets of folds trending NE-SW and NW-SE were also identified in this area, where most of them are symmetrical fold with gentle to open fold varies from non-plunging to nearly moderately plunging folds. Most of the faults have parallel orientation to the fold axis, indicated this pattern probably originated at the same period of deformation due to warping and uplifting.

Abstract

Banten NPP site is located in Kramatwatu-Bojonegara district, Serang, it has a surface fault indication in volcanic rock it known that to Northwest-Southeast trending. Indications of the satellite imagery analysis maps confirm the straightness (lineament) at Bojonegara-1 fault. A lineament as fault structures to be necessary to prove existence of magnetic method in order to determine the continuity of Bojonegara-1 fault in the subsurface. The purpose of the study is to know the Bojonegara fault in the subsurface. Through on interpretation and analysis of the earth's magnetic field on the scale of an object to be caused a variety of sources it can be detected by intensity magnetic as a total magnetic moment of unity volume to study the condition of the deformed rocks. The study used are G856-AX Proton Magnetometer precession magnetometer (PPM) over a stretch of 300 m and 10 m intervals for the fault lineament. The measurement system uses two sensors and observations, corrected magnetic field strength is ideal as a reference for the total magnetic field anomalies. Preliminary results show that the fault lineament is indicated at the observation point with a depth to unknown so that it still need more detailed. Magnetic method is very good for an early review of fault structures with fast and simple.

Abstract

Rare earth elements are elements that widely used in many products. Rare earth elements nature are not found in a free state, but they are in the complex compounds, so that chemically processing is required to separate the Rare earth elements from their complex compounds. Monazite as by product of Bangka tin process contains several major elements, such as 0.298% uranium (U), 4.171% thorium (Th), 23.712% phosphat (P2O5) and 58.97% rare earth elements (REE) oxide. These elements can be individually separated through a process of precipitation stages. The separation process used in the study is the method of acid by using sulfat acid as reagen and filtrat digestion as feeds. The process of digestion dissolve the elements U, Th, RE and phosphate from the complex compound. Rare earth elements that are disolved can be separated from the complex compounds by using sulfat acid precipitation process. The objective of research is to set the optimal conditions for the Rare earth elements precipitation with sulfat acid. The result showed that the amount of sulphuric H2SO4 which added is 3.5 times volume of feed and precipitation time is 20 minutes, percentage of precipitation recovery is 61.21 % REE, 78.46 % U, and 93.56 % PO4.

Abstract

Geoelectric measurement using Schlumberger configuration was carried out in Gili Ketapang Island, a small island with a population density of 12,356 people/km2. The measurement conducted at 8 locations using a vertical electrical sounding (VES) method. The result of geoelectric data processing shows aquifer resistivity value ranging from 2.71–206 Ωm at the sandy limestone lithology. The largest aquifer volume potency based on the 2D groundwater aquifer model is in the K-03 and K-17 location. The 3D groundwater aquifer model shows that the aquifer volume is 27,689,400 m3 or about 27.689.400.000 liters. The groundwater inside the aquifer will last within 68 years in a condition where there is no population increase. Besides, the groundwater also lasts even there is no water addition inside the aquifer, by natural or artificial

Abstract

Application of Rare Earth Elements (REE) uses broadly in various fields related to modernization. It causes many companies are developing processing techniques to extract REE from rare earth mineral deposits. REE hydroxide processing into cerium oxide, lanthanum oxide, and neodymium concentrates has conducted by PSTA-BATAN in collaboration with PTBGN-BATAN. The previous economic study issued in excessive ammonia caused by the use of concentrated nitric acid in the cerium dissolution process. Therefore, process innovation is necessary to do by calcination and leaching methods using dilute HNO3. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of the calcination and leaching process with dilute HNO3. Calcination conducted at 1000°C temperatures with the observing parameters is calcination time, HNO3 concentration, and leaching rate. The result of the study is that calcination can convert REE hydroxide into REE oxide. The longer calcination time, the easier the REE oxide formed. The three hours calcination process enhances the concentration of La, Ce, and Nd from 7.80%, 28.00%, and 15.11% to 12.69%, 45.50%, and 24.45% respectively. The kinetic reaction of the RE(OH)3 calcination reaction follows a chemical reaction process with the equation y = 0.3145x + 0.0789 and R2 = 0.9497. Then, REE oxide from calcination reacted with dilute HNO3. The higher the concentration of HNO3 at various leaching levels, the better the leaching efficiency of La and Nd while Ce is impossible to leach or the leaching efficiency is close to zero. The optimum leaching process on three levels of leaching conditions is using 1 M HNO3. The leach reaction kinetics follows the core shrinkage model of the surface chemical reaction with the equation y = 0.1732x - 0.2088 and R2 = 0.9828.
