"ABSTRAKSekitar 95 dari seluruh bijih kromit yang ditambang di dunia digunakan sebagai bahan baku pembuatan ferrochromium FeCr . Pada penelitian sebelumnya, peleburan pasir kromit kadar rendah tidak dapat menghasilkan ferrochromium dengan kadar Cr ge; 60 sehingga pasir kromit kadar rendah harus dilakukan proses benefisiasi untuk meningkatkan kadar Cr dan rasio Cr/Fe sebelum proses peleburan menjadi ferrochromium. Penelitian ini menggunakan pasir kromit kadar rendah asal Kabupaten Konawe, Sulawesi Selatan. Proses benefisiasi yang dilakukan adalah magnetic separation menggunakan medan magnet 800 Gauss dan reduction roasting selama 60 menit pada temperatur 1000 C dengan variabel jumlah reduktor, yaitu 5 lean carbon, stokiometri, 5 excess carbon dan 10 excess carbon serta jumlah aditif CaSO4, yaitu 5 , 10 , 15 , dan 20 . Rasio Cr/Fe dan kadar Cr pada bahan baku pasir kromit adalah 0,9 dan 19,27 . Kromium dalam pasir kromit kadar rendah berada dalam mineral magnesiochromite, aluminian, yang terasosiasi dengan unsur besi dalam struktur spinel. Magnetic separation yang dilakukan pada bahan baku pasir kromit menghasilkan kenaikan rasio Cr/Fe dan kadar Cr menjadi sebesar 1,31 dan 21,33 akibat adanya pemisahan antara kromit yang bersifat paramagnetik dan pengotornya yang bersifat magnetik. Selanjutnya, hasil terbaik dari reduction roasting yang dilanjutkan dengan magnetic separation diperoleh pada proses reduction roasting dengan menggunakan 10 excess carbon dan 20 CaSO4, yaitu menghasilkan rasio Cr/Fe dan kadar Cr sebesar 1,19 dan 20,48 atau setara dengan FeCr yang mengandung 54,5 Cr.

ABSTRACTAround 95 of mined chromite ore in the world is utilized as raw material for ferrochromium making process. According to the previous research, the melting of low grade chromite sand could not produce ferrochromium with Cr ge 60 so that low grade chromite sand has to be beneficiated to enhance the chromium grade and Cr Fe ratio before the melting process to produce ferrochromium. This research utilized low grade chromite sand from Konawe District, South Sulawesi. The beneficiation processes that was conducted were magnetic separation, which used magnetic field of 800 Gauss and reduction roasting for 60 minutes at 1000 C with various reductant dosage, 5 lean carbon, stoichiometry, 5 excess carbon and 10 excess carbon along with various dosage of CaSO4 as additive, 5 , 10 , 15 , and 20 . Cr Fe ratio and chromium content in low grade chromite sand are 0.9 and 19.27 . Chromium, in low grade schromite sand, was existed as magnesiochromite, aluminian, which associated with iron in spinel structure. Magnetic sseparation process that was conducted to the raw material, resulted in enhancement of Cr Fe ratio and chromium content to 1.31 and 21.33 due to separation of the paramagnetic chromite from the magnetic gangue. Furthermore, the best result from reduction roasting followed by magnetic separation was obtained when reduction roasting used 10 excess carbon and 20 CaSO4, which resulted at 1.19 of Cr Fe ratio and 20.48 of chromium content or equivalent to FeCr with 54.5 Cr."

"Pendahuluan: Kadar obat yang rendah dalam darah pasien TB paru diduga berhubungan dengan respon pengobatan yang buruk seperti kegagalan konversi sputum mikroskopis, yang merupakan risiko terjadinya kegagalan pengobatan. Namun berbagai penelitian menunjukan hasil kontroversial, sebagian menunjukan terdapat hubungan antara kadar obat dengan konversi sputum akhir intensif, sebagian lagi menunjukan respon terapi yang sama baiknya untuk kadar normal maupun kadar rendah. Faktor yang diduga menyebabkan perbedaan hasil ini adalah perbedaan MIC rifampisin dan isoniazid terhadap Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) pada pasien-pasien TB di setiap wilayah. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui hubungan kadar rifampisin dan isoniazid darah dengan konversi, serta hubungan rasio kadar puncak rifampisin dan isoniazid darah terhadap MIC (Cmax/MIC) dengan konversi sputum pasien TB paru di akhir fase intensif. Metode: Desain penelitian adalah kasus kontrol dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 40 orang, yang terbagi dalam kelompok kasus (tidak konversi, n=20) dan kelompok kontrol (konversi, n=20). Kadar rifampisin dan isoniazid darah diukur pada dua jam setelah minum obat yang merupakan perkiraan kadar puncak rifampisin dan isoniazid, menggunakan metode LC/MS-MS. Data MIC diambil dari 20 isolat kultur MTB sputum pasien TB paru kasus baru di RSP dr. H.A Rotinsulu Bandung menggunakan metode MGIT. Hasil: Dari 40 pasien didapatkan rerata kadar rifampisin 5,58±2,41 mg/L dengan 36 pasien (90%) diantaranya memiliki kadar puncak di bawah normal. Untuk isoniazid didapatkan median kadar 1,46 (0,40-6,10) mg/L dengan 32 pasien (80%) diantaranya memiliki kadar puncak isoniazid di bawah normal. Pada penelitian ini didapatkan MIC rifampisin 0,25 mg/L dan MIC isoniazid 0,05 mg/L, lebih rendah dibanding kadar kritis masing-masing obat.

Introduction: Low plasma drug concentration in pulmonary TB patients are thought to be associated with poor treatment outcomes such as microscopic sputum conversion failure, which is a risk of treatment failure. However, various studies showed controversial results, some showed that there was an association between drug concentration with sputum conversion at the end of intensive phase, while others showed the same good outcome for normal and low concentrations. Factors thought to cause these controversial in results are the differences in the MIC of rifampicin and isoniazid against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in TB patients in each region. This study aims to determine the association between blood rifampicin and isoniazid concentratiom with sputum conversion, as well as the association between the ratio of peak blood concentration of rifampicin and isoniazid to MIC (Cmax/MIC) with sputum conversion of pulmonary TB patients at the end of the intensive phase.

Methods: The study design was a case-control study with a sample size of 40 subjects, which were divided into a case group (non-conversion, n=20) and a control group (conversion, n=20). The blood concentration of rifampicin and isoniazid were measured two hours after taking the drug which is an estimate of the peak concentrations of rifampicin and isoniazid, using the LC/MS-MS method. MIC data were taken from 20 MTB sputum culture isolates from new cases of pulmonary TB patients at RSP dr. H.A Rotinsulu Bandung using the MGIT method.

Results: Of the 40 patients, the mean concentration of rifampicin was 5.58 ± 2.41 mg/L with 36 patients (90%) of whom had peak concentrations below normal. For isoniazid, the median concentration was 1.46 (0.40-6.10) mg/L with 32 patients (80%) of whom had peak concentration of isoniazid below normal. In this study, the MIC of rifampicin 0.25 mg/L and MIC of isoniazid 0.05 mg/L were lower than the critical concentration of each drug. There was no association between blood rifampicin concentration (OR: 11.18; 95% CI: 0.20-223.00, p= 0.106), blood isoniazid concentration (OR: 3.86; 95% CI: 0.67-22 .22, p= 0.235), and the Cmax/MIC ratio of rifampicin (OR: 0.474; 95% CI: 0.039-5.688, p=1.00) with intensive final sputum conversion. However, there was an association between low concentration of both drugs simultaneously (OR: 6.00; 95% CI: 1.08-33.27, p = 0.028), and the Cmax/MIC ratio of isoniazid (OR: 4.333; 95% CI: 1.150). -16,323, p= 0.027) with sputum conversion at the end of the intensive phase.

Conclusion: There was no association between blood rifampicin concentration, blood isoniazid concentration, and the Cmax/MIC ratio of rifampicin with microscopic sputum conversion at the end of the intensive phase. However, there was an association between low concentration of both drugs and the Cmax/MIC ratio of isoniazid and sputum conversion at the end of the intensive phase."

"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."

"Proses reduksi selektif dan pemisahan magnetik bijih nikel kadar rendah dengan kandungan Ni, Fe, Mg, dan Si masing-masing sebesar 1,4 , 50,5 , 1,81 , dan 16,5 telah dilakukan melalui mekanisme dua tahap peningkatan panas dengan penambahan aditif Na2SO4 dan NaCl. Na2SO4 dan NaCl diketahui mampu membebaskan nikel dan besi dari fasa olivin dan juga menekan metalisasi besi dengan proses sulfidasi, kloridasi, dan segregasi. NaCl yang ditambahkan bertujuan untuk menggantikan sebagian Na2SO4 untuk mengurangi kandungan sulfur sisa pada konsentrat yang dihasilkan. Penahanan pada temperatur awal pre-heating dilakukan untuk memaksimalkan reaksi reduksi nikel dalam fasa goethit sekaligus menekan reduksi besi oksida, sedangkan penahanan pada temperatur lanjut reduksi bertujuan untuk proses pembebasan nikel pada fasa lizardit dan mendukung pertumbuhan partikel feronikel dengan mekanisme aglomerasi partikel pada fasa leleh sistem Fe-FeS eutektik yang terbentuk. Oleh karena itu, kedua perlakuan pemanasan tersebut dapat meningkatkan kadar, perolehan dan derajat metalisasi dari nikel. Hasil optimal didapatkan pada bijih hasil reduksi dengan penambahan 11 satu stoikiometri arang cangkang sawit, 10 Na2SO4, dan 10 NaCl pada temperatur pemanasan awal 500 C selama 90 menit, diikuti dengan pemanasan lanjut selama 90 menit pada temperatur 1150 C, yang menghasilkan konsentrat feronikel dengan kadar dan perolehan nikel masing-masing sebesar 5,53 dan 85,89 , serta derajat metalisasi nikel sebesar 93,69 . Ukuran partikel feronikel yang dihasilkan pada sampel tersebut berukuran 61,75 m, jauh lebih besar dibandingkan ukuran butir sampel tanpa penambahan aditif atau temperatur reduksi yang lebih rendah 1050 C yaitu berturut-turut sebesar 5 m dan 28,5 m. Fasa-fasa yang terbentuk dengan penambahan aditif Na2SO4 dan NaCl yaitu kamasit FeNi , wustit FeS , fayalit, dan nepheline, yang merupakan indikasi berjalannya proses optimasi reduksi selektif dengan memaksimalkan pembebasan nikel dari fasa olivin dan menekan pembentukan logam besi sehingga perolehan, kadar, dan derajat metalisasi nikel meningkat.

Selective reduction and magnetic separation process of low grade nickel ore with Ni, Fe, Mg and Si contents of 1.4 , 50.5 , 1.81 and 16.5 has been conducted with two stage thermal upgrading mechanism with addition of Na2SO4 and NaCl. These two additives is known to be capable of liberating nickel and iron from olivine phase, as well as suppressing iron metallization with sulphidation, chloridization and segregation process. The addition of NaCl was aimed to substitute some part of Na2SO4 to reduce residual sulphur content of the produced ferronickel concentrate. The retention of roasting at initial temperature pre heating was done to maximize reductive reaction of nickel within goethite phase and to suppress the reduction of iron oxide, while the retention of roasting at final temperature reduction was done to focus the nickel liberation from lizardite phase and to promote ferronickel particle growth using agglomeration mechanism within the formed molten phase of Fe FeS eutectic system. Therefore, these two thermal treatment could improve the grade, recovery and metallization of nickel. The optimal result obtained was the reduced ore with 11 palm kernel shell reductor, 10 Na2SO4, and 10 NaCl at initial roasting temperature of 500 C for 90 minutes, followed by final roasting temperature of 1150 C for 90 minutes which resulted ferronickel concentrat with 5.53 grade, 85.9 recovery and 93.86 metallization. The resulting particle size of the aformentioned sample is 61.75 m, far bigger compared to sample without additives or lower reducing temperature 1050 C which is 5 m and 28.5 m, respectively. The formed phase of the reduced ore with the addition of Na2SO4 and NaCl was kamacite FeNi , wustite FeS , fayalite and nepheline, which indicates the optimization process of selective reduction through maximalizing nickel liberation from olivine and suppresing the formation of metallic iron resulting in improved nickel grade, recovery and metallization."

Bijih besi asal Lampung di reduksi dengan memanfaatkan batu bara yang juga berasal dari Indonesia Kalimantan . Proses reduksi dilakukan dengan memvariasikan temperatur dan waktu. Sampel yang sudah dicampur batu bara, bentonite, dan CaCO3, dimasukkan kedalam furnace sampai temperatur yang diinginkan. Setelah sampai pada temperatur yang diinginkan, temperatur ditahan sesuai waktu yang telah ditentukan. Setelah proses reduksi selesai, produk diteliti dengan menggunakan SEM, XRD. Berdasarkan tes XRD, keempat produk sukses membuat metallic iron. Derajat reduksi akan meningkat dengan semakin naiknya temperature. Namun hal ini masih bergantung pada hasil yang didapatkan. Derajat metalisasi sudah sesuai dengan literatur. Semakin naik temperatur, derajat metalisasi semakin bertambah. Yield of metallic iron juga sesuai dengan literatur. Semakin naik temperatur, Yield of metallic semakin bertambah. Mikrostruktur menghasilkan hasil yang seragam, kecuali pada temperature 1400 C dan temperature 30 menit. Waktu dan temperature nampaknya tidak cukup untuk mereduksnya.

There are many innovations in processing the iron ore. In the reduction process, many people tend to choose high grade iron ore. In Indonesia, the existing iron ore has low grade. Special attention is required in order to process this iron ore. By utilizing the native Indonesian iron ore, we can improve the economy of Indonesia. We use iron ore from Lampung in the reduction by utilizing coal which is also from Indonesia Kalimantan . The reduction process is done by varying the temperature and time. Samples that were mixed with coal, bentonite, and CaCO3, is inserted into the furnace to the desired temperature. Having reached the desired temperature, we hold the temperature in accordance with the predetermined time. After the reduction process is complete, we examine the product using SEM, XRD. Based on XRD tests, four products successfully make metallic iron. The degree of reduction would be increased with the rise of temperature. However, it is still dependent on the results obtained. Metallization degrees are in accordance with the literature. With the increase of temperature, the degree of metallization also increase. The yield of metallic iron is also in accordance with the literature. With the increase of temperature, the increasing yield also increase. All product produce the same microstructure, except for temperatures of 1400 C and holding time 30 minutes. Time and temperature does not seem enough to do the reduction process."
