State Geological Laboratory, Hazaribagh

Introduction-

The government of Bihar, Department of Mines and Geology established a Geological

Laboratory in Patna in the year 1965. Later this Laboratory has been shifted to Hazaribagh in 1967.

The State Geological Laboratory is one and only laboratory which functions under the Directorate

of Geology, Department of Mines & Geology. It carries out Chemical, Petrological and Geo-

chemical analysis of rocks, minerals, ores and ground water.

OBJECTIVE

The Laboratory was initially established with an objective to ascertain the quality and

DEVELOPMENT WORK

In the 2000- 2005 Year Construction was taken up regarding renovation & modernization of laboratory

building. After creation of Jharkhand state. It was decided that due to enormous

availability of potential deposits of minerals in Jharkhand. I.C.P. instrument was purchased

for the determination of trace value in minerals.

2005- 2010 1. Renovation of Lab. Building, Campus. 2. Construction of Conference Hall & Lab. Rooms. 3. Up gradation of Coal & Graphite Cell according to Coal Controller of india with

instrument T.G.A. Isoperibol Bomb Calorimeter etc. 4. Upgradation of Water Analysis Section with instrument like UV.VIS. Spectrophotometer,

Flame Photometer water analysis kit. 5. Upgradation of Petrological Section for analysis of Rock, mineral with Polarisisng

Microscope. 6. Up gradtion of Geo-Chemical Section with working table, Fume Hood etc. 7. Purchasing of Ultrapure Water System and Microwave Digester for digestion of complex

geological material.

2010- 2015 PLAN For the purpose to analyse various components related Coal, as laid down by Coal Controller of India, Following instruments are proposed to be purchase and install to facilitate the analysis of Coal on the basis of establish guide lines.
