Abstract

Bioremediation is basically consists of two approaches, biostimulation and bioaugmentation. The efficacy of bioaugmentation for combating oil pollution in field application is still argued. The purpose of study was to evaluate the efficacy of bioaugmentation and to compare the affectivity of single strain and consortium application in remediating oil polluted sandy beach. Experimental study in a field has been conducted with two (2) treatments and one (1) control in three different plots. The treatmens were introduction of a single strain (Alcanivorax sp TE-9) and a consortium (Alcanivorax sp. TE-9, Pseudomonas balearica st 101 and RCO/B/08-015) cultures into oil contaminated sediment. The experiment in mesocosm approach was taken place in Cilacap coast. Arabian light crude oil was used in the concentration of 100.000 mg.kg-1 sediment. Changes of oil concentration, bacterial density and pore water quality have been monitored periodically for 3 months. The result showed that oil degradation percentage and bacterial growth in both treatments were higher than in control. After 3 months, the percentage of oil degradation experiment in control, single strain and formulated consortium treatments were observed at 60.4%, 74.5% and 73.5%. It proves that bioaugmentation tehnique can enhance significantly oil biodegradation in sandy beach. The applications of bacteria in single or consortium culture give no different impact on their affectivity for bioremediation in Cilacap sandy beach. By data extrapolation it can be predicted that both of treatments able to reduce remediation time from 210 days into 135–137 days. Bioaugmentation can be proposed as a good solution for finalizing oil removing in Cilacap sandy beach when oil spilled occurred in this environment. Keywords: Bioremediation, bioaugmentation, oil, sandy beach, Alcanivorax, mesocosm, Cilacap   Bioremediasi pada dasarnya terdiri dari dua pendekatan yaitu biostimulasi dan bioaugmentasi. Teknik bioaugmentasi  dalam menanggulangi pencemaran minyak di lapangan masih diperdebatkan efektivitasnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efikasi tehnik bioaugmentasi serta membandingkan efektivitas kultur tunggal dan konsorsium  dalam memulihkan pantai berpasir tercemar minyak. Studi eksperimental di lapangan telah dilakukan dengan menggunakan dua perlakuan dan satu kontrol di tiga plot berbeda, Perlakuannya adalah penambahan bakteri kultur tunggal (Alcanivorax sp TE-9) dan bakteri konsorsium (Alcanivorax sp. TE-9, Pseudomonas balearica st 101 dan RCO/B/08-015) ke dalam sedimen yang tercemar minyak. Eksperimen dengan pendekatan mesokosm dilakukan di pantai Cilacap. Minyak mentah ringan Arabia dengan konsentrasi 100.000 mg.kg-1 sedimen digunakan sebagai bahan cemaran. Perubahan konsentrasi minyak, kepadatan bakteri dan parameter lingkungan diamati secara periodik selama 3 bulan percobaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persentase degradasi minyak dan densitas bakteri di sedimen perlakuan lebih tinggi daripada kontrolnya. Setelah 3 bulan eksperimen, persentase degradasi minyak pada kontrol, perlakuan kultur tunggal dan konsorsium masing-masing teramati 60.4%, 74.5% and 73.5%. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa tehnik bioaugmentasi secara signifikan mampu meningkatkan biodegradasi minyak di pantai berpasir. Pemberian mikroba dalam bentuk kultur tunggal ataupun konsorsium mempunyai efektivitas yang tidak berbeda untuk proses bioremediasi di pantai berpasir Cilacap.  Dengan ekstrapolasi data dapat diduga bahwa kedua perlakuan bioaugmentasi ini mampu mempercepat waktu pemulihan lingkungan dari 210 hari ke 135-137 hari. Bioaugmentasi dapat diusulkan sebagai solusi yang cukup baik untuk menghilangkan minyak pada tahap akhir pembersihan pantai berpasir Cilacap, jika terjadi tumpahan minyak di lingkungan ini.

Abstract

Karimata strait connects South China Sea and Indonesia territorial seas where the strait current pattern is affected by west and east monsoon. This condition influences particles depositing sedimentation process in the strait. Lack information about sediment depositing rate at the straits dozens years ago makes this research is important to be conducted. This research was to estimate sediment depositing rate in the strait in two areas, near shore and off shore of Borneo. The research was conducted on June to September 2015 used coring sediment samples. Those samples were derived from Baruna Jaya VIII Ship Cruise on June 2015 that was collaborative research between Ministry of Marine and Fisheries Affairs of Indonesia and National Nuclear Center of Indonesia (BATAN).Samples were analyzed in the laboratory of Chemical and Ocean, Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, Center of Radiation and Isotope, National Nuclear Center of Indonesia (BATAN). Estimation of sediment depositing rate used natural isotope 210Pb. The study shows that the depositing rate of the nearest to Borneo area is about 0.92 kg.m-2.y-1 (1965) and increases to be 3.31 kg.m-2.y-1 (2009). The other area is about 0.08 kg.m-2.y-1 (1840) and increases to be 1.78 kg.m-2.y-1 (2010). This result implies that the sediment depositing rate at the nearest area to Borneo is higher than the off shore. Keywords: Near shore, off shore, Natural Isotop 210Pb, CRS (Constant Rate of Supply) model

Abstract

The pollutant quantity of heavy metals entering water environment does not give complete answer toward the generated effect and risk, however it needs thoroughly study related to the pollutant dynamic. The aim of this research was to investigate the fate of Pb and Zn in water, such as: distribution, behavior, and reactivity (case study: Jeneberang Estuary, Makassar). Pb and Zn concentrations were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). The distribution of dissolved Pb and Zn showed a pattern that the lowest concentration was in the fresh water (the river zone), whereas the highest concentration was in the salt water (the marine zone). The distribution pattern of particulate Pb and Zn showed that the highest concentration was in the fresh water (the river zone) and the salt water (the marine zone), whereas the lowest concentration was in the estuary zone. The behavior of dissolved Pb and Zn tended to increase the concentration (desorption) along the increased salinity gradient. The residual fraction was the dominant component of geochemical fractions in the sediment that indicated the sources of Pb and Zn mainly derived from a natural process and the reactivity was low in the water. Keywords: distribution, behavior, reactivity, lead, zinc, pollution

Abstract

A laboratory study was conducted with the aim to isolate and identify bacteria from sea sediment and test their biodegradation ability in two place where contaminated with oil spill. Five sediment samples were dissolved by using sterile sea water, and then bacteria isolated with total plate count (TPC) method. Isolates bacteria was cultivated, and adapted using the nutrient conditioned sea water medium. Biodegradation process was done by mixing the bacteria with crude oil and shaken for few days. The number of bacteria isolated varied from 2 x 102 CFU ml-1 to 6 x 106 CFU ml-1 and apparently increased after cultivation and adaptation with oily media. Bacteria identified during this study were Fundibacter sp., Alcanivorax sp., and Marinobacter sp.. The result of biodegradation process was statistically analyzed and obtained that the bacteria are effective in degrading oil in seven days with constant of biodegradation rate was 0.1766. GC-MS analysis was conducted to prove the decomposition of carbon chain by bacteria and revealed oil degradation in carbon number 11 to 27. Based on all analysis, marine sediment bacteria can degrade the oil spill. Keywords : Bacteria, Biodegradation, GC-MS, Marine Sediments, Oil spill.

Abstract

Toxicity of ammonia was evaluated using amphipod Grandidierella bonnieroides to describe its role as confounding factor in sediment quality assessment. Ammonia is a toxic compound that is found naturally in seawater and sediment. High ammonia content in the pore water sediment can be potentially toxic to benthic biota, so that it will interfere with the results of sediment toxicity tests. Laboratory production amphipod was used in this ammonia toxicity test. Water-only toxicity tests was conducted to produce new toxicity data of ammonia, and is expressed as LC50, LOEC and NOEC for benthic amphipod G.bonnieroides. The study resulted the 96-h median lethal concentration (LC50) of ammonia for G. bonnioerides was 65.5 mg.L-1. While the value LOEC (low observed effect concentration) is 56 mg.L-1 and NOEC value (no observed effect concentration) was 32 mg.L-1 . This shows that ammonia has a relatively low toxicity to amphipod and ammonia does not act as a confounding factor in the sediment toxicity test, because the ammonia content in sediment does not pose any significant effect on amphipod survival. It can be concluded that the amphipod has a potential useful as test organism in sediment bioassay for assessing the quality of marine sediment. Moreover, the high dependence of total ammonia toxicity indicates that it is necessary to measure the total ammonia and pH of the medium when testing environmental samples. Keywords: ammonia, amphipod, toxicity, confounding factor, bioasssay Toksisitas ammonia dievaluasi menggunakan amphipod Grandidierella bonnieroides untuk menggambarkan perannya sebagai faktor pengganggu dalam penilaian kualitas sedimen. Amonia merupakan senyawa beracun yang ditemukan secara alami dalam air laut dan sedimen. Kandungan amonia yang tinggi dalam air pori sedimen dapat berpotensi racun bagi biota bentik, sehingga akan mengganggu hasil uji toksisitas sedimen. Amphipod hasil produksi laboratorium digunakan dalam uji amonia. Uji toksisitas dilakukan untuk menghasilkan data toksisitas baru ammonia, dan dinyatakan sebagai LC50, LOEC dan NOEC untuk G.bonnieroides amphipod bentik. Studi ini menghasilkan nilai konsentrasi median letal 96-jam (LC50) ammonia untuk G. bonnioerides adalah 65.5 mg.L-1. Sedangkan nilai LOEC (konsentrasi terendah yang menyebabkan dampak secara signifikan) adalah 56 mg.L-1 dan nilai NOEC (konsentrasi tertinggi yang tidah menyebabkan dampak secara signifikan) 32 mg.L-1. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa ammonia memiliki toksisitas relatif rendah untuk amphipod dan ammonia tidak bertindak sebagai pengganggu dalam untuk uji toksisitas sedimen, karena kandungan ammonia dalam sedimen tidak menimbulkan pengaruh yang nyata pada survival amphipod. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa amphipod memiliki potensi sebagai biota uji dalam sedimen bioassay untuk menilai kualitas sedimen laut. Selain itu, terdapat ketergantungan yang tinggi toksisitas amoniak terhadap pH, sehingga perlu untuk memantau total amonia dan pH saat melakukan pengujian sampel lingkungan.

Abstract

PAHs are mutagenic and carcinogenic agents that influence the coastal water of Tarakan City. This study aims to determine the concentration, type, and distribution of PAHs in waters and sediments of rivers, seawater, and brackish ponds, and their potential sources. Fourteen samples of water and sediment from selected stations obtained 14 types of PAHs priority (USEPA). Analysis using GC-MS Type Thermo Trace 1310 single quadrupole Mass Spectrometer, using Coulum melting silica column (coulumn fused silica) DB5 MS with a length of 30 m, a diameter of 0.32 mm inline. The concentration in sediments at river locations ranges from 0.72-352.84, between 1.23-606.74 in the sea, and brackish ponds 0.08-2858.88 ng.g-1. On the waters ranged from 42.46-160.25 µg.L-1, in the sea 7.95-167.55 µg.L-1 and ponds 7.63-151.60 µg.L-1. The concentration level in rivers and seas is small and in the ponds is small-very high. The concentration on water at the river site was observed to increase from upstream to downstream. Meanwhile in sediment was higher in the upstream decreased towards the middle of river and increased in downstream/estuary area. The concentration in the Tarakan coastal environment signifies the potential hazards to the environment. Components Nap, Fla, Pyr, Chr, and BaP are types that are often identified. Furthermore, two, four and five rings of PAHs were shown to dominate in water and sediment, with the major rings present in both river and brackish pond. The PAHs were both petrogenic and pyrolytic sources from land base sources that were possibly derived from the Pamusian river.

Abstract

The profile concentration of heavy metals, organic matter and the composition of the grain sizes is determined in two sediment cores from Karimata Strait. This study aimed to estimate the distribution of sediment grain sizes and distribution of heavy metals (Pb, Cu, Zn, Ni, As, and Fe) in three sediment fractions (>250 μm, 63-250 μm and <63 m) of Karimata Strait. Sampling was conducted using box core. Graining size analysis was carried out through sieving, continue with digestion, and analyze the heavy metals using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). Results of the study show that the sediment grain size distribution is strongly influenced by the water hydrodynamic condition (currents). It can be seen by the dominance of finding coarse grain size in the research areas. The highest concentration of the heavy metals was found in the finest grain size (<63 m) due to the larger surface area and higher adsorption capacity. Distribution of heavy metals Cu, Pb, Zn and Ni in the upper layer of sediments is higher than in the bottom layer. Furthermore, the As and Fe concentration in the surface were lower than in the bottom layer. Statistical analysis shows an association and a source of heavy metals mainly coming from the surrounding areas. It is supported by the enrichment factor values of finding heavy metals generally has been undergone enrichment.Keyword: Grain sizes,Heavy metals, ICP-OES,Karimata strait, Sediment
