Abstract

Mandor Village has developed as a tradisional gold mining area since years ago. It involved activities that have led to extreme land condition and the release of mining residues, i.e., mercury, to the soils. The study examined the potential of soil bacteria as mercury bioremediation agent based on their population and activity in former mines with different ages. The bacterial population was measured by isolating soil bacteria on solid media using the pour plate method, and the colonies were enumerated during the incubation. The Nutrient Agar (NA) medium was used to obtain the total population, whereas the Salt Base Solution (SBS) was to determine the presence of mercury-tolerant bacteria. The addition of HgCl2 affected the number of the colonies. The colony only grew until the concentration of HgCl2 reached 5 mg/l, and the total colony was larger in older mines. The observation of bacterial activity showed that biotransformation performance was lower when the concentration of mercury was the same as its natural presence in soils (0.1-0.5 mg/l) compared with higher mercury level (1 mg/l). The research showed that lower mercury concentrations in nature reduced the natural ability of bacteria to transform pollutants. This study provides information that can assist the development of a technological approach to control mercury pollution in former traditional gold mines in an environmentally friendly manner using indigenous soil bacteria.

Abstract

Traditional gold mining activities release mercury into the environment, creating a major concern for the Indonesian governments today. In situ bioremediation, which draws on the activities of indigenous soil bacteria for the recovery of mercury-contaminated land, has never been conducted intensively in the country. This research set out to determine the most efficient in situ bioremediation strategy for this purpose. It took place in Mandor Village, Landak Regency, Kalimantan Barat-Indonesia. During the experiment, four groups of sampling plots were made into triplicate and given various treatments: a. nutrient addition, b. aeration, c. pH neutralization, and d. without nutrient addition and aeration as a control. pH neutralization was conducted in all sampling plots by adding lime until soil pH of ±7 was achieved. The experiment was performed during both rainy and dry seasons to determine the influence of seasonal weather. Total mercury levels of each plot were measured on day 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120, and the effects of treatments and time on mercury depletion were analyzed by two-way ANOVA (P<0.05), followed by a post hoc test to identify the best treatment and optimum time for in situ bioremediation. The results showed that the best time to conduct this bioremediation was in the rainy season by applying nutrient addition and aeration for 90 days on soils with neutral pH; these stimulations could remove ±89.6% of the mercury. This bioremediation technique is a novel technological approach in land recovery that local governments can adopt to restore soils contaminated with mercury from traditional gold mining.
