"Cadangan bijih mangan kadar rendah di Indonesia cukup besar, namun cadangan bijih mangan tersebut tidak dapat dimanfaatkan secara optimal karena rendahnya rasio Mn/Fe.Sehingga diperlukan penelitian untuk mempelajari metode benefiasi guna meningkatkan rasio Mn/Fe, menggunakan bijih mangan kadar rendah dari Kabupaten Tanggamus (MnO=15.30%, rasio=0.91) dan kabupaten Jember (MnO=28.66%, rasio=1.39) supaya bisa dijadikan bahan baku dalam pembuatan FeMn menggunakan SAF.Penelitian benefisiasi bijih mangan kadar rendah dimulai dengan melakukan fraksinasi untuk mendapatkan ukuran butir 841-420 μm, 420-250 μm dan 250-177 μm kemudian dilakukan proses pemisahan gravitasi untuk menghasilkan concentrate dan tailing yang akan digunakan sebagai bahan baku untuk reduction reduction roasting. Proses reduction roasting dilakukan dengan variasti suhu 500°C, 700°C dan 900°C serta variasi waktu reduction roasting 30, 60, 90 dan 120 menit dan kemudian dilakukan proses pemisahan secara magnetic. Material non magnetik yang menghasilkan peningkatan rasio Mn/Fe paling optimum akan dilakukan proses briketisasi untuk digunakan sebagai bahan baku pembuatan FeMn menggunakan SAF.Pengaruh variasi temperatur dan waktu reduction roasting memberikan hasil rasio Mn/Fe optimum 6.11, pada partikel non magnetik ukuran 841-420 μm dengan suhu reduction roasting 700°C selama 60 menit. Proses reduction roasting juga menyebabkan munculnya fase baru seperti Hausmanite (Mn3O4), Manganosite (MnO), Fayalite (Fe2SiO4) dan Phlogopite (KMg3(AlSi3O10(OH)2), akibat proses perubahan fase pada bijih mangan. Fase mineral tersebut muncul pada reduction roasting variasi waktu 60 menit, 90 menit dan 120 menit, serta muncul pada variasi suhu 500°C, 700°C dan 900°C.Pada pengujian dalam SAF digunakan basisitas berdasarkan stoichiometri dengan nilai 1.17, 1.32, 1.15 dan basisitas referensi hasil penelitian Bobby et al, 2015, dengan nilai 0.7. Penggunaan basisitas 0.7 menghasilkan kenaikan berat metal dan menurunkan berat terak pada saat diproses dalam SAF. Selain itu basisitas stoichiometry hanya menghasilkan ferromangan dengan Mn=35.47% dan basisitas referensi 0.7 menghasilkan Ferromangan dengan Mn=60%.Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan rasio menggunakan benefisiasi bisa mencapai rasio 6.11. Sedangkan proses pembuatan FeMn dengan menggunakan bijih mangan kadar rendah pada submerged arc furnace bisa menghasilkan kadar Mn 60% dengan kontrol pada basisitas untuk mengurangi volume terak, meningkatkan berat logam dan menaikkan kadar Mn.

Low grade manganese ore reserves in Indonesia is quite large, but manganese ore reserves can not be used optimally because of the low ratio of Mn / Fe.In that case, research is needed to study the methods of benefiasiation to increase the ratio of Mn / Fe, using low grade manganese ore from Tanggamus ( MnO = 15.30% ratio = 0.91) and Jember (MnO = 28.66%, ratio = 1.39) that can be used as raw material in the manufacture of FeMn using SAF.

Research for beneficiation of low grade manganese ore started by fractionation to obtain the grain size of 841-420 μm, 420-250 μm dan 250-177 μm then performed meja getar process to produce the concentrate and tailings to be used as ingredients raw for reduction roasting. Reduction roasting variety process carried out with a temperatur of 500 °C, 700 °C and 900 °C and roasting time variation of 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes and then a magnetic separation process. Non-magnetic material that produces an increase in the most optimum ratio of Mn/Fe will be used into bricketing process as raw material for FeMn using SAF.

The effect of variation of temperatur and roasting time results ratio of Mn/Fe optimum 6.11, on a non-magnetic particle size of 841-420 μm with a roasting temperature of 700 °C for 60 minutes. Roasting also cause new phase occurensces such as Hausmanite (Mn3O4), Manganosite (MnO), Fayalite (Fe2SiO4) and Phlogopite (KMg3(AlSi3O10(OH)2), due to the process of phase changes in manganese ore. Mineral mineral appeared on roasting with time variations 60 minutes, 90 minutes and 120 minutes, as well as appearing on the variation in temperatur of 500 °C, 700 °C and 900 °C.

On testing in the SAF used basicity based stoichiometri with a value of 1.17, 1.32, 1.15 and reference basicity 0.7 based on the Bobby et al, 2015 reserach. Influence of basicity resulted in an increase of weight of metal and decrease the weight of slag during processing in the SAF. In addition basicity stoichiometry produces only ferromangan with Mn = 35.47% and reference basicity 0.7 generate Ferromangan with Mn = 60%.

The results of this study showed that increasing the ratio of Mn/Fe using beneficiation could reach a ratio 6.11. While the process of making FeMn using low grade manganese ore at Submerged arc furnace can produce 60% Mn grade with controls on basicity to reduce the volume of slag, improve and raise the level of heavy metals Mn."

"[ABSTRAKMangan merupakan logam yang digunakan untuk berbagai macam kebutuhan seperti untuk campuran logam agar menghasilkan baja dalam industri baja. Kebutuhan bijih mangan juga meningkat seiring dengan peningkatan teknologi dan kebutuhan akan mangan tersebut. Pada penelitian ini akan dilakukan proses pembuatan ferromangan dari bahan baku bijih mangan lokal dengan menggunakan submerged arc furnace (SAF). Proses peleburan dilakukan dengan menggunakan 30kg bijih mangan, 12kg batu kapur, dan jumlah kokas serta batu bara yang bervariasi, yaitu 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, dan 100%. Kemudian, analisa karaktrisasi akan dilakukan untuk mengetahui kualitas produk ferromangan yang dihasilkan, yaitu analisa XRF (X-Ray Fluoroscence), XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) untuk mengecek kadar mangan dan kadar slag, analisa masa selama proses produksi, dan analisa jumlah pemakaian energi selama proses produksi.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan dengan peningkatan kadar kokas dibandingkan kadar batu bara dapat meningkatkan kualitas maupun kuantitas produk ferromangan. Dengan penggunaan 9.5kg (100%) coke akan menghasilkan massa/yield tertinggi yaitu 12.8kg / 96.24% karena kokas memiliki unsur yang lebih baik daripada batu bara sehingga proses reduksi dapat menjadi optimal. Selanjutnya, kandungan mangan pada produk ferromangan tertinggi saat penggunaan 9.5kg (100%) coke sebesar 75.19% Mn karena kokas memiliki kandungan unsur pengotor yang lebih sedikit dibandingkan dengan batu bara sehingga proses reduksi berlangsung dengan optimal. Kemudian, konsumsi energy terendah saat penggunaan 9.5kg (100%) coke sebesar 7.03KWh/kg karena kokas memiliki kandungan pengotor yang sedikit, salah satu contohnya volatile matter, jika kandungan unsur tersebut besar maka konsumsi energi akan bertambah. Sedangkan kandungan fosfor dan sulfur terendah pada produk ferromangan ketika penggunaan 9.5 kg (100%) coke, yaitu fosfor dibawah 0.001% dan sulfur 0.18%. Pengaruh kandungan tersebut berasal dari reduktor yang digunakan, kokas memiliki kandungan phosphorus dan sulphur yang lebih rendah jika dibandingkan dengan kokas. Phosphorus dapat membuat rapuh logam karena adanya perbedaan kekerasan, kekuatan, dan keuletannya. Sedangkan sulphur dapat membuat rapuh logam pada saat temperature tempa, sehingga kemampuan tempanya akan menurun. Selain itu berdasarkan aspek ekonomi, diperoleh hasil yang memilik keuntungan tertinggi sebesar Rp62,565 dengan penggunaanreduktor sebanyak 9.5kg (100%) coke dan 0kg (0%) coal.ABSTRACTManganese mineral is one of the metal element which are used in common to produce alloy steel product. Manganese element is important to enhance steel properties such as wear resistance and hardness. Due to high demand of alloy steel, the production of ferromanganese products are also increase. This phenomena leaded to a large number of manganese ore supply. In this present study, the ferromanganese production will be conducted in mini submerged arc furnace (SAF) technology. The process began with 30 kg medium grade manganese ore from Jember, East Java-Indonesia, 12 kg limestone as its fluxing agent, and with the main variable of mixed reductor from 0%, 25%, 50%, and 100% of cokes and coal as its balance. Along the process, chemical analysis also conducted with some tools to obtain an accurate data of chemical compositions within the raw materials, slag, and ferromanganese product. These chemical analysis were conducted by XRF, XRD, and Proximate analysis. Furthermore, not only the chemical composition but also the number of electricity in each process were calculated to obtain the most efficient process.The result of this research showed an increasing trend in ferromanganese quality and quantity with a large number of cokes. Instead of coal, cokes are more effective as a reductor agent in this process. This study showed that with 9.5 kg of cokes (100%) the reduction process of ferromanganese will produce 12.8 kg of ferromanganese metal, 75.19% of manganese content, 96.24% of yield ratio, and least number of energy consumption 7.03 kwh/kg ferromanganese product. One of the reasons to support this result is because cokes have lesser number of impurities than in coal such as volatile matter. The amount of phosphor and sulfur content in ferromanganese metal also can be reduced to < 0.001% P and 0.18% S by using 100% cokes as its reductor. These parameters are important because with small number of phosphor and sulfur content the metal will become tougher and hinder the negative effect of short red hardness in metal during further forming activity. The other reason to support the effectiveness of using 100% cokes as the reductor instead of mixing with coal is the amount of profit for each process which is turned to be the highest profit number compare to other mixing composition, it is Rp 62.565,-/process., Manganese mineral is one of the metal element which are used in common to produce alloy steel product. Manganese element is important to enhance steel properties such as wear resistance and hardness. Due to high demand of alloy steel, the production of ferromanganese products are also increase.

The process began with 30 kg medium grade manganese ore from Jember, East Java-Indonesia, 12 kg limestone as its fluxing agent, and with the main variable of mixed reductor from 0%, 25%, 50%, and 100% of cokes and coal as its balance. Along the process, chemical analysis also conducted with some tools to obtain an accurate data of chemical compositions within the raw materials, slag, and ferromanganese product. These chemical analysis were conducted by XRF, XRD, and Proximate analysis. Furthermore, not only the chemical composition but also the number of electricity in each process were calculated to obtain the most efficient process.The result of this research showed an increasing trend in ferromanganese quality and quantity with a large number of cokes. Instead of coal, cokes are more effective as a reductor agent in this process. This study showed that with 9.5 kg of cokes (100%) the reduction process of ferromanganese will produce 12.8 kg of ferromanganese metal, 75.19% of manganese content, 96.24% of yield ratio, and least number of energy consumption 7.03 kwh/kg ferromanganese product. One of the reasons to support this result is because cokes have lesser number of impurities than in coal such as volatile matter. The amount of phosphor and sulfur content in ferromanganese metal also can be reduced to < 0.001% P and 0.18% S by using 100% cokes as its reductor. These parameters are important because with small number of phosphor and sulfur content the metal will become tougher and hinder the negative effect of short red hardness in metal during further forming activity. The other reason to support the effectiveness of using 100% cokes as the reductor instead of mixing with coal is the amount of profit for each process which is turned to be the highest profit number compare to other mixing composition, it is Rp 62.565,-/process.]"

Manganese is one of the most common minerals in the earth’s crust.Manganese plays an important role in the development of various steel making processes and its continuing importance is indicated by the fact that about 90% of all manganese alloys consumed annually goes into steel production as an alloying element in the form of ferromanganese. Ferromanganese is one of the metal alloys with a high content of manganese, which is about 65 - 90%. Manganese has four functions to steel such as desulphurizing agent, deoxidation agent, enhancing hardness, and wear resistance. This research, studies have been made to obtain the most optimum raw material composition to produce ferromanganese metal based on local medium grade manganese ore with various amount of cokes as its main variable. The process is conducted four times by smelting manganese ore into ferromanganese metal in mini submerged arc furnace (SAF) technology using three graphite electrodes. The process begin with using 30 kg of medium grade manganese ore from Jember, East Jawa-Indonesia, 12 kg of limestone as its fluxing agent, and various number of cokes from 5,5 kg (18,33%), 7,5 kg (25%), 9,5 kg (31,67%), and 11,5 kg (38,33%). Influence of various amount of cokes being used in this study have been investigated. The experiment conducted by increasing number of cokes carried out good results. Higher consumption of cokes will produce bigger number of ferromanganese metal and also the manganese content inside it. The most optimum composition of cokes shown by this study is 9,5 kg (31,67%), producing the biggest number of product at 12,8 kg of ferromanganese and consuming the least energi at 7,03 kwh/kg FeMn. The other result also showed that adding 7,5 kg (25%) of cokes will produce 78% manganese content inside the metal which was the highest manganese content. However, with an increase of cokes, the electrode consumption will also increase. The experiment with 5,5 kg (18,33%) of cokes carried out the least electrodes consumption at 0,75 kg/process. Moreover, to support the optimum raw material composition, economic evaluation has been conducted. The biggest profit is Rp 62.565,-/process for 9,5 kg (31,67%) of cokes.

This research will examine the utilization of an alternative material to obtain bipolar plates that are light, affordable, and can be mass produced. The research that will be developed is to create carbon-based composite bipolar plate material consisting of epoxy resin and hardener as a binder, graphite, carbon black (CB) and multiwall carbon nano-tube (MWCNT) as a reinforcement or filler material. Various material compositions and variations made to get the compression molding process optimization of bipolar plates that meet requirements that can be obtained by several stages. We investigated whether graphite electrode waste from electric arc furnace (EAF) can subtitute graphite synthetic as a reinforcement material for polymer carbon composite. Bipolar plate based on graphite EAF has particle size < 44 micron, and bipolar plate based on graphite synthetic with particle size of < 55 micron mixing with carbon black (CB) from 0-20% w/w at intervals of 2.5% w/w. The materials are molded using compression hot press machine (30 MPa, 70oC). Samples are tested for: density, porosity, flexural, and electric conductivity, indicated the bipolar plate characteristics with graphite synthetic or graphite EAF showed the same results relatively. Further research showed that the characteristics of synthetic graphite-based bipolar plates and graphite EAF were influenced by the addition of conductive polymers such as polyaniline at interval concentration from 0,027 w/w; 0,054w/w; 0,081 w/w and 0,108 w/w. These results provide confirmation and justification that graphite is used subsequently derived from EAF graphite as reinforcement and the CB additions at (5 and 10) w/w used as a filler material bipolar plates. We then used graphite EAF and CB resulting from pyrolysis process of coconut husk at 600 0C for 10 hours in nitrogen environment. Research variable covered of variety of pressure and temperature compression, variety of particle sizes of graphite EAF or CB. Flexural strength was recorded to be optimum at 48.24 MPa (at 45 MPa, 100 0C), which fulfilled the requirement of bipolar plate > 25 MPa. Density test for all EAF graphite based bipolar plates less than 5 g/cm3. In addition, the porosity for all samples were under 2% (0.36 %-1.92%). Properties of bipolar plates with CB 5 w/w (at 55 MPa, 100 0C and pyrolysis temperature at 900 0C) showed relatively better results compared with CB 10 w/w. The effect of MWCNT improved mechanical and electrical properties. The lowest density value and the highest flexural strength achieved at composition of 90graphite EAF/5CB/5MWCNT of 1.53 g/cm3 for density and 63.71 MPa for flexural strength. The highest conductiviy value from of all research stages achieved from composition of 95graphite EAF/2CB/3MWCNT of 8.94 S.cm-1."

"Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) merupakan beban nonlinier yang bervariasi seiring waktu, sehingga dapat menyebabkan masalah pada kualitas sistem tenaga listrik, seperti overvoltage dan undervoltage. Salah satu cara untuk menjaga kestabilan tegangan adalah mengompensasi daya reaktif karena daya reaktif yang dikirimkan ke suatu sistem tenaga listrik akan memengaruhi tegangan di sisi penerima. Static Var Compensator (SVC) adalah salah satu kompensator daya reaktif yang akan memberikan atau menyerap daya reaktif, sehingga mempengaruhi tegangan dan faktor daya sistem. Untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan SVC, evaluasi dilakukan dengan load flow analysis di Bus yang terhubung dengan masukan transformator electric arc furnace, yaitu Bus 9 dan 10. Berdasarkan simulasi, SVC sebesar 210 MVAR pada Bus 9 dan 25 MVAR pada Bus 10 dapat meningkatkan persentase kedua Bus, yaitu Bus 9 dari 96.605% menjadi 98.348% dan Bus 10 dari 94.166% menjadi 96.97%. Selain itu, SVC juga meningkatkan nilai faktor daya kedua Bus, yaitu Bus 9 dari 0.744 menjadi 0.952 dan Bus 10 dari 0.851 menjadi 0.952.

The Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) is a nonlinear load that varies over time, which can cause problems with the quality of the power system, such as overvoltage and undervoltage. One way to maintain voltage stability is by compensating for reactive power because the reactive power supplied to a power system will affect the voltage at the receiving end. The Static Var Compensator (SVC) is one of the reactive power compensators that will provide or absorb reactive power, thereby affecting the voltage and power factor of the system. To determine the effect of SVC usage, an evaluation is conducted using load flow analysis at the Bus connected to the input of the electric arc furnace transformer, which is Bus 9 and 10. Based on the simulation, an SVC of 210 MVAR at Bus 9 and 25 MVAR at Bus 10 can increase the percentages of both buses, with Bus 9 increasing from 96.605% to 98.348% and Bus 10 increasing from 94.166% to 96.97%. Additionally, the SVC also increases the power factor values of both buses, with Bus 9 increasing from 0.744 to 0.952 and Bus 10 increasing from 0.851 to 0.952."
