Alternative source of intelligent Material derived from solid waste combustion PLTU: characterization and mapping its potential in the coal basin of Kalimantan

 

Year of research: 2020-2023

Source of funds: Kemenristekdikti

Research on "Intelligent Material alternative sources derived from solid waste combustion PLTU: characterization and mapping its potential in Kalimantan's coal basin" is located at the Kendilo Coal mine, East Kalimantan as the location for sampling and research. This is due to the geological condition of the mine that supports the process of enrichment of sparse soil element is combined between type 1 to 4. With geological conditions that support is expected to produce a much larger REE + Yttrium enrichment compared to previous studies.
