Formasi Tanjung yang berumur Eosen merupakan salah satu formasi pembawa batubara di Cekungan Barito, Kalimantan Tengah. Kualitas batubara merupakan suatu parameter penting khususnya dalam proses pemanfaatanya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kualitas batubara Formasi Tanjung di Daerah Sekako, Kalimantan Tengah. Sampel batubara diambil dengan menggunakan channel sampling ply by ply dan kemudian dilakukan analisis laboratorium meliputi analisis proksimat, ultimat dan nilai kalori. Batubara seam A dan B Formasi Tanjung di Daerah Sekako memiliki kandungan lengas total 1,98 – 4,33 (wt%, ar), kandungan abu 2,79 – 9,05 (wt%, adb), zat terbang 35,14 – 39,50 (wt%, adb), karbon tertambat 53,47 – 59,41 (wt%, adb), nitrogen 1,51 – 1,86 (wt%, adb), total sulfur 0,29 – 1,54 (wt%, adb), nilai kalori 15.889,93 – 17.235,44 (Btu/lb mmmf) dan fuel ratio 1,35 - 1,66. Batubara tersebut secara umum merupakan batubara high volatile A bituminous. Batubara tersebut berpotensi dimanfaatkan baik sebagai thermal coal maupun sebagai batubara coking. Kata kunci : kualitas batubara, Formasi Tanjung, Cekungan Barito
ABSTRAK Batubara high – low volatile bituminous Formasi Tanjung di Kalimantan Tengah dikenal berpotensi sebagai coking coals. Maksimum fluiditas merupakan ssalah satu parameter penting yang sangat berkaitan dengan kualitas kokas yang dihasilkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis distribusi kandungan zat terbang dan abu serta pengaruhnya terhadap maksimum fluiditas batubara khususnya untuk batubara dari Formasi Tanjung. Batubara diambil dari lapangan di Daerah Sekako dengan channel sampling ply by ply berdasarkan litotipenya kemudian dilakukan analisis laboratorium meliputi analisis proksimat dan analisis Gieseler plastometer. Batubara yang diambil dari 2 seam Formasi Tanjung yang diproduksi tersusun dominan atas litotipe bright coals dan banded bright coals dengan memiliki kandungan abu (ash) 2,79 – 9,05 (wt%, adb), kandungan zat terbang (volatile matter) 35,14 – 39,50 (wt%, adb) dan maksimum fluiditas 22263 – 49029 (ddpm). Kandungan abu berkorelasi negatif kuat (r = -0,656; R2 = 0,431) dan tidak berpengaruh signifikan (sig. 0,055 > 0,05) terhadap maksimum fluiditas batubara. Sementara itu, kandungan zat terbang berkorelasi positif sangat kuat (r = 0,794; R2 = 0,6301) dan berpengaruh signifikan (sig. 0,003 < 0,05) terhadap maksimum fluiditas batubara. Semakin tinggi kandugan abu maka maksimum fluiditas batubara semakin rendah dan sebaliknya semakin tinggi kandungan zat terbang maka maksimum fluiditas batubara semakin tinggi. Hubungan kandungan zat terbang dengan maksimum fluiditas batubara dapat dinyatakan dengan persamaan y = 6327,9x - 200248.
Tanjung Formation is one of the major coal-bearing deposit in the Barito Basin, Central Kalimantan. The distribution of total sulfur and ash yield in coal is closely related to the depositional environment. This study was to determine the total sulfur and ash yield and the interpretation of the dynamics of depositional process. Coal seam A and B generally have low to medium ash yield 2.82 to 9.23 (wt.%, db) and low total sulfur content of <1 (wt.%, db), except for the 6PLY1 coal sample which has total sulfur content that relatively high at 1.55 (wt.%, db). Coal samples 5PLY1A, 5PLY1B, 5PLY3, 5PLY5, 6PLY2, 6PLY4, 6PLY5, 6PLY7, and 6PLY9 which have low to medium ash yield and low total sulfur content <1% (wt.%, db) are formed in the topogeneous mire (freshwater swamp) in a fluvial environment. The total sulfur content was interpreted to be derived mainly from the parent plant materials. Meanwhile, the 6PLY1 coal sample which has an ash yield of 5.83 (wt.%, db) and total sulfur content of 1.55 (wt.%, db) formed in topogeneous mire in an environment that is invaded by sea water, and the total sulfur content were interpreted coming from the parent plant materials and the effect of seawater invasion which is rich in sulfate (SO4) compounds. It is also supported by the occurrence of syngenetic mineral content (framboidal pyrite) and epigenetic pyrite of 1.23 (vol.%).
Inorganic geochemistry of coal become a point of interest on coal study, especially relating with the occurrence of rare earth element. Tanjung Formation is one of coking coal bearing deposits in Barito Basin, Central Kalimantan. The aims of this study to determine the occurrence of Rare Earth Element and Yttrium (REY) especially in term of concentration and enrichment type in coal seam A and B of Tanjung Formation in Sekako Area, Central Kalimantan. A number of 10 coal samples were collected from both seams. Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) analysis was conducted to determine the REY in coal. Based on this study, coal seam A and B generally have very low concentration of REY elements deposits. The REY elements of coal seam A and B in the study area are typically characterized with M and H-type enrichment, which might be caused by the mafic basalt rocks in the surroundings.
