Abstract

Tunnel for Exploration of Uranium Eko Remaja Kalan (TEURK) in West Kalimantan, built-in 1980, is one of the uranium deposit research facilities in Indonesia. The tunnel penetrated Eko Remaja Hill along 618 m, from Remaja to TRK-7 access. Uranium mineralization in this area controlled by dense stockwork veins on metasilt and metasandstone rocks. The high-dense geological structures create some weak zones in the tunnel. These zones are potentially causing rocks and soil slides. Temporary supports made of wood-piles were installed in these zones to support the tunnel. Currently, these piles are not capable at the tunnel, so that rocks and soil slides occurred inside the tunnel. The research aimed to determine the quality of actual rock mass and determine the appropriate type of reinforcement to keep the tunnel safe. Schmidt hammer and scanline surveys on the unsupported zone (50–297 m and 355–538 m depth) carried out to collect the classification parameter data of Rock Mass Rating (RMR). The measurement result shows that the rock mass of TEURK on the depth has an RMR value of 52–71 (fair-good). Reinforcement recommendations for the tunnel are rock bolts and conventional shotcretes installation.

Abstract

Monazite, as a by-product of tin mining, contains rare earth elements (REE) and radioactive elements like uranium (U) and thorium (Th). The monazite processing Research and Development at the Center for Nuclear Mineral Technology-National Nuclear Energy Agency (PTBGN-BATAN) has succeeded in separating REE as a hydroxide compound with an 85% recovery. The radioactive elements U and Th are each obtained as a product in the form of concentrated compounds of ammonium diuranate (ADU)/(NH4)2U2O7 and thorium hydroxide (Th(OH)4). In previous studies, the separation of U as ADU in monazite was carried out by the precipitation process using NH4OH solution. In this research, U will be precipitated as an ADU using NH3 gas reagents to obtain precipitation optimum conditions. Precipitation feed in the form of (U, Th, REE) sulfate solution derived from the monazite processing using the alkali or base method, which includes decomposition using NaOH, partial dissolution using HCl, and total dissolution using H2SO4. The parameters studied include the effect of NH3 gas flow rate, process temperature, and contact time on U recovery. The results showed that on the static pH-7 condition, the optimum state of U precipitation using NH3 gas is at NH3 gas flow rate of 150 ml/minutes, processing temperature of 30oC, and 15 minutes contact time with precipitation recovery of U 100%, Th 99.97%, and REE 99.93%. These results indicate that U has been taken entirely but still mixed with other elements, which are Th and REE, so that further research is needed to obtain U with high purity on optimum pH condition.

Abstract

Upflow zone in the geothermal system is a zone with high permeability that serves as a path for geothermal fluid to ascend to the surface, which usually marked with fumarole at the surface. Mount Tampomas, West Java, is a potential geothermal site with some thermal manifestation in the form of hot springs, but no fumarole or steam vent exists. The up-flow or the permeable zone is difficult to identify. 222Rn isotope is a radiogenic isotope that its concentration in soil gas can infer primary permeability as well as secondary permeability (structure). Series of 222Rn measurement in soil gas has been performed from 56 sampling positions around Mount Tampomas to evaluate 222Rn anomaly by a statistical method and its relation with high permeability area, geological structure, and geothermal manifestation. The measurement and statistical evaluation results show that 222Rn concentration clustered into low (background), high, and anomaly concentration. The background values in 16 places are below 825 Bq/m3, while a high level in 32 areas between 825–7688 Bq/m3 and anomaly in 8 places above 7688 Bq/m3. Most of the locations with high and anomaly 222Rn concentrations did not locate near a structure lineament. All measurements near hot springs have a high 222Rn and anomaly. Ciseupan hot spring is an exception which may indicate that the hot spring is discharged laterally (outflow). Furthermore, there is no indication of a correlation between 222Rn with the elevation of the measurement location. The process of 222Rn transfer from the reservoir to the surface is considered by the geothermal reservoir's gas carrier mechanism through permeable zones.

Abstract

The Study based on geological setting of Hatapang region, North Sumatera, identified as a favourable area to the formation of sandstone type uranium mineralization. This characterized by the occurred of anomalous radioactivity, uranium contents of the upper cretaceous granite intrusions and radioactivity anomalous of tertiary sedimentary rocks deposited in terrestrial environments. The study is objectived to find out the potential formation of sandstone type-uranium mineralization within tertiary sedimentary rocks based on data’s studies of geological, geochemical, mineralogy, radioactivity of rocks. Stratigraphy of hatapang area of the oldest to youngest are quartz units (permian-carboniferous), sandstone units (upper Triassic), granite (upper cretaceous), conglomerate units (Lower –middle Miocene) and tuff units (Pleistocene). Hatapang’s granite is S type granite which is not only potential as source of radioactive minerals, particularly placer type monazite, but also potential as source rocks of sandstone type-uranium mineralization on lighter sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rock of conglomerate units has potential as host rock, even though uranium did not accumulated in its rocks since the lack number of carbon as precipitant material and dissolved U+6 in water did not reduced into U+4 caused the uranium mineralization did not deposited.

Abstract

Geophysical investigation by geoelectrical resistivity method have been done at Kompas Raya Village, Pinoh, Melawi, West Kalimantan Province. Kompas Raya Village is an area that is always a lack of water in the dry season, so the villagers are always difficult to get clean water to meet their daily needs. This study aimed to look resistivity distribution both laterally and vertically in two dimensions. The data distribution of resistivity can be used as a basis to determine the potential aquifers in the area of research. The measurement method of sounding resistivity is performed by Schlumberger Configuration. The numbers of measuring points are 30 points soundings which are divided into six survey paths each where each survey path is contained five measuring points. In this study, resistivity data processing is performed using 2D inversion modeling techniques based on data resistivity sounding. The results obtained from this study is the presence of two layers of relatively low resistivity that is each less than 30 Ohm.m and 20 Ohm.m. The first layer is interpreted as a shallow aquifer (aquifer-1) with the depth of about 20 m to 30 m, while the second layer is interpreted as the aquifer (aquifer-2) with the depth of about 90 m to 100 m.
