Analisis Kandungan Mineral Pasir Pantai Bajul Mati Kabupaten Malang Menggunakan XRF dan XRD

Abstract

Mineral exploration in Indonesia has not been evenly distributed, so a study with title analysis of the sand mineral content of Bajul Mati Malang Regency was carried out using XRF and XRD. The aims of this study to determine the percentage of mineral that containing in the sand of Bajul Mati beach in Malang Regency. The instruments used XRF and XRD where the samples were placed in a sample holder and irradiated with X-rays then. The result of analysis of mineral content and metal oxide in Bajul Mati beach sand showed that the beach sand of Bajul Mati has the big potential to be used as a base for making nanomaterials. The results of analysis of XRF showed that the content of SiO2 was 46.7% and the results of analysis of XRD showed that the SiO2 mineral has the quartz phased. Bajul Mati beach sand has the potential to be a source of mineral material.

The Characteristics of Surface Topography and Element of Sand from Flash Floods in North Luwu Regency

“…A study conducted by Sumari et al, 2020 concluded that the mineral content of the sand at Bajul Mati Beach, Malang Regency, is the highest, Silica (SiO2), and has the potential to be used as nano-silica material [4]. Verryon Harap and Mukti Hamjah Harahap, 2013, examined the characteristics of Labuhan Batu red sand using SEM test and X-ray diffraction, it was found that the sand has cavities on its surface and the most atoms contained are Si [5].…”
