Radiogenic heat production of S-type and I-type granite rocks in Bangka Island, Indonesia
Radiogenic heat production (RHP) has been investigated from wide types of rocks based on regional setting and metamorphism grade. In this study, we analyze the abundance of heatproducing elements (U, Th, K) and Radiogenic Heat Production (RHP) on I-type and S-type granite rocks in Bangka Island,...

| Summary: | Radiogenic heat production (RHP) has been investigated from wide types of rocks based on
regional setting and metamorphism grade. In this study, we analyze the abundance of heatproducing
elements (U, Th, K) and Radiogenic Heat Production (RHP) on I-type and S-type
granite rocks in Bangka Island, one of the main provinces in Tin Belt Island. The average U, Th,
and K concentrations for both S-type and I-types granite are 10.27 ppm, 79.6 ppm, 3.1%, and 87.79
ppm, 99.2 ppm, and 1.93 % respectively. The highest concentration of U (681.22 ppm) and Th
(99.2 ppm) are found in Pangkal Pinang and K (3.79%) in West Bangka. We analyze that the RHP
average for I-type granite is higher at 27.87 (N=17, range from 12.97 to 550.28) than S-type with
8.43 (N=11, range from 4.93 to 12.64). The Th/U ratio shows an exponential correlation with
RHP and classifies S-type granite tectonic discriminant as continental collision and I-type granite
as a continental arc. |
