Abstrak

Nikel laterit di Pulau Gag berdampak signifikan pada industri pertambangan, dengan keuntungan ekonomi besar dan dampak sosial dan lingkungan yang perlu diperhatikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan memahami pembentukan, karakteristik, dampak, dan pengelolaan nikel laterit di Pulau Gag melalui studi pustaka, survei lapangan, dan analisis laboratorium. Pulau Gag memiliki batuan ophiolite yang mengandung nikel, dan nikel limonit digunakan dalam industri baterai HPAL, sementara nikel saprolite digunakan dalam produksi Ferro-Nikel (FeNi) dengan teknologi RKEF. Tambang nikel laterit Pulau Gag memiliki dampak lingkungan yang berkaitan dengan pengolahan limbah dan penggunaan air dalam ekstraksi nikel, memerlukan investasi besar dalam infrastruktur, teknologi pengolahan, kepatuhan regulasi, dan sumber daya manusia. Penelitian lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk memahami karakteristik nikel laterit Pulau Gag dan menjawab tantangan dalam menghadapi permintaan nikel global yang terus meningkat.
