Abstract


Bukit Pelintung is a part of the Pematang formation exposed at
the surface. Bukit Pelintung has different lithology with the area
surround it, where the area surround Bukit Pelintung consists of
old and young superficial deposit with peat, clay and silt
lithology. Bukit Pelintung is a part of the Pelintung village,
subdistrictMedangKampai, Dumai city located in the northeastern
city of Dumai. The total area of Bukit Pelintung is about 36km2.
Silica sand in Bukit Pelintung associated with iron (Fe2O3) sand
and alumina (Al2O3) sand and characterized by different colors of
sand. Four-point location of the research area that has been
conducted in Bukit Pelintung showed a high silica content.
Laboratory test using the X-RF (X-Ray Fluorescence) method
showed the compound silica (SiO2) has a high percentage above
95%.
