Abstract

Experimental studies using column testing of lignite, shale, and ironsand in copper solution were carried out to determine the adsorption capacity of lignite, shale, and ironsand in remediation of water contaminated with copper. Lignite, shale, and ironsand were analyzed using XRD, SEM/EDX, and XRF. The treatment process by column adsorption was carried out over a period of 24 hours at a stable velocity of 0.005ml/s. After treatment, the remaining copper in the solution was recorded, thus allowing the adsorption capacity of lignite, shale, and ironsand to be calculated. The results revealed that when the solution was treated by lignite and shale there was a good degree of copper removal, while the ironsand had very poor degree of copper removal. The best material for copper removal was lignite with 25-mesh grain size. Pyrite, graphite, calcite, and illite were found in lignite and smectite, calcite, pyrite, hematite, and illite were found in shale. These materials were also shown to contain an abundance of high-valence elements in Al2O3, SiO2, and Fe3O4 which contributes to additional adsorption capacity. CAC values for lignite and shale reached nearly to 100%, suggesting that lignite and shale have a high adsorption capacity. In contrast, ironsand, which has mostly sand minerals with little clay and organic content, caused the pollutant to move rapidly to the water table, reducing the adsorption potential. CAC values treated by ironsand were shown to be negative which showed an increasing of Cu2+ in natural ironsand into solution. Keywords: Copper, ironsand, shale, lignite, column experiment

Abstract

The presence of heavy metals in surface water, which is common in mining area pose harmful effect to human health and the environment. Recently, cocopeat has been studied as an effective sorbent material for removing heavy metals from wastewater. In this study, kinetic was done by analyzing the distribution of the heavy metal in sorbent material and liquid phase after mixing 50 mg/L solution of lead (Pb2+) and zinc (Zn2+)in single solute system with 0.1 g of coco-peat, that were consequently shaken at 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120, 180 and 360 minutes. To determine the equilibrium adsorption isotherm for each heavy metal, the solutions of 10, 20, 30,40 and 50 mg/L of Pb2+ and Zn2+ were prepared separately. Two different pH levels (natural pH, and pH 4) were setto describe the sorption behavior of Pb2+ and Zn2+ of each heavy metal.Using data from batch experiments, appropriate kinetic (time dependency) and equilibrium (isotherm) models were fitted on the sorbent material and liquid phase concentrations to determine adsorption parameters. Pseudo second-order kinetic model fitted well to the kinetic data due to chemisorption that happened during experiments. In other hand, Langmuir model fitted well to the equilibrium, this indicates that the sorption of lead and zinc on coco peat is monolayer and that the adsorbent’s surface is homogenous. The increase of heavy metals adsorption following the increase of pH might be due to negative charge of coco peat surface. Pb2+ adsorbed more than Zn2+ because ion with high hydration enthalpy will have smaller amount of ion adsorbed. The hydration enthalpies for Pb2+ and Zn2+ are 23 kJ/kg and 113 kJ/kg, receptively. Considering all the factors that we have discussed, cocopeat has high efficiency to remove the heavy metals from wastewater. Keywords: Coco-peat, adsorption, batch experiment, kinetic, equilibrium.

Abstract

The aim of the present work is to investigate the ability of natural bentonite (untreated) from Pacitan, East Java to remove lead ions from aqueous solution. The bentonite has specific surface area and cation exchange capacity of 27.52 m2 g−1 and 65.20 meq/100 gr of bentonite, respectively. Towards this aim, batch adsorption experiments were carried out and the effect of various parameters on this removal process has been investigated. The effects of pH, grain size of bentonite, adsorption time and lead ion concentration on the adsorption process were examined. The optimum pH for adsorption was found to be 9, with the finer grain size of bentonite is more effective. In adsorption studies, residual lead ions concentration reached equilibrium in a duration of 24 hours. Adsorption of lead on bentonite appeared to follow Freundlich isotherm. Our results demonstrate that the adsorption process was mostly dominated by ion exchange process. Keywords: Removal, lead, aqueous solution, natural bentonite, adsorption.

Abstract

South Makassar Basin Depocenter (SMBD) is located in Southern Makassar Strait which has petroleum potential by the presence of oil and gas indications within the area based on Airborne Laser Fluorescence survey. However, detail studies within this area are not developed well. One of the studies which can be utilized for further discoveries of oil and gas field in SMBD is a study of depositional model using seismic facies method to maximize limited seismic and well data. Interpretation of depositional model in Eocene (syn-rift phase) was varied from alluvial plain and alluvial fan complex, continued gradually to platform. In Oligocene time (post-rift phase), massive transgression caused a major deepening in entire SMBD where the depositional environment changed to basinal plain. In early Miocene – recent interval (syn-orogenic phase), SMBD was relatively in stable condition at basinal plain environment. Lower Tanjung Sequence will be the most prolific petroleum play in SMBD due to its adequate source rock, reservoir rock and seal rock as well. Keywords: South Makassar basin, depositional model, seismic facies

Abstract

Arsenic (As) is a toxic element found in both natural and anthropogenic sources. High concentration of this element was recently uncovered in the groundwater of Sumbawa Island, Indonesia. To mitigate this problem, As adsorption potential of natural geological materials like lignite, bentonite, shale, and iron sand obtained in Indonesia were evaluated by batch experiments. Arsenic adsorption onto these materials was investigated as a function of solution pH, particle sizes of adsorbents and coexisting sulfate concentration. In addition, batch leaching experiments were performed to elucidate the stability of geogenic As present in all adsorbents at different pHs. The results showed that among these natural materials tested, lignite was the most effective adsorbent of As(V) followed by bentonite, shale and then iron sand, and that the amounts of As(III) adsorbed onto all adsorbents were lower than those of As(V).This indicates that As(III) is more mobile in comparison to As(V). The adsorption isotherms of As(III) and As(V) conformed to nonlinear types, either Langmuir or Freundlich. It was found that adsorption of As onto these natural adsorbents was pH-dependent. This could be attributed to the changes in the surface charges of the adsorbents with pH. With respect to the adsorbent particle size, the amount adsorbed somewhat increased with decreasing particle size, which could be explained by the larger surface area of the smaller particles. Acidic (pH < 6) and alkaline (pH >10) conditions destabilized the geogenic As content of the adsorbents, indicating that the effectiveness of these natural materials as adsorbents is greatly limited by the pH of the contaminated system. Keywords: Adsorption, arsenic, natural geological materials, particle size, pH

Abstract

factors such physical and chemical properties, especially mineralogical composition of such environment. This study focused on the mineralogical of two soils types (fine sandy loam and loamy fine sand) to retain/mobile Cu. Two non contaminated soils from Yogyakarta urban area, Indonesia, were artificially contaminated with Cu solution. Subsequently, soils artificially contaminated were extracted from various geochemical phases of soil by sequential extraction procedure. The results show that both of soils types can retain Cu well with maximum is 5.8 mg/g of loamy fine sand and 3.9mg/g of fine sandy loam. Additionally, the iron amorphous phase content in clay fraction is influence Cu retains in these soils. This is advantage in environment of Yogyakarta urban area, Indonesia, where this area underlain by loamy sand soil. Keywords: Copper, mobility, iron, sequential extraction.

Abstract

The Soripesa prospect area is located at Maria village, Wawo district, Bima region in the eastern part of Sumbawa Island, Indonesia. This area is a part of Cenozoic Calc-alkaline volcanic inner Banda-Sunda Arc. The dominant lithology of Soripesa prospect area are a lithic-crystal tuff of andesitic and dacitic composition and bedded limestone. There have five main polymetallic epithermal quartz veins in the Soripesa prospect area, namely, Rini vein, Jambu air vein, Dollah vein, Merpati vein, and Arif vein. Those quartz veins are hosted mainly in andesitic volcaniclastic rocks. Fluid inclusion study on those quartz veins is vey important to know the condition of hydrothermal fluids and their origin. Fluid inclusion study is conducted at the laboratory of Earth Resources Engineering Department, Kyushu University, Japan. Homogenization temperature, freeze temperature, eutectic temperature, and melting temperature can be known from fluid inclusion study. Based on fluid inclusion study, formation temperatures of all veins are between 250–260◦C. Melting temperature is between -0.2 to -3◦C. Based on the melting temperature, salinity (wt.% NaCl equiv.) of fluid inclusions is calculated by using Bodnar’s equation. Paleodepth of formations and pressure of trapping are also estimated by using formation temperature and salinity. Based on Hass (1971) diagram, estimated paleodepths of formations are 270 m for Merpati vein, 400 m for Dollah vein, 480 m for Rini vein, 570 m for Arif vein, and 680 m for Jambu Air vein, respectively. Pressure of trapping can also be estimated from depth of formation, density of lithostatic overburden, and gravity; 72 bars for Merpati vein, 106 bars for Dollah vein, 127 bars for Rini vein, 151 bars for Arif vien, and 180 bars for Jambu Air vein, respectively. Keywords: Soripesa, polymetallic quartz veins, homogenization temperature, salinity.

Abstract

This paper investigates on Pb concentrations and mobility in soil of overall Yogyakarta City, Indonesia. The objectives of this study include to investigate Pb concentrations in the surface soil throughout Yogyakarta and to study their possible sources and potential environmental impacts. The soil samples from 168 locations in Yogyakarta was obtained, representing different land use and traffic conditions. Spatial analysis and sequential extraction analysis were performed. Generally, contour pattern of Pb value clearly shows that high value is concentrated in the middle and few north part of the study area, confirmed by traffic condition in the study area. In general, the results of sequential extraction analysis shows that Pb was predominantly associated with exchangeable fraction. The presence of lead in the exchangeable fractions may pose a serious environmental concern since they are highly soluble and potentially bio-available in the soil of study area. Keywords: Soil, lead contamination, GIS, sequential extraction.

Abstract

In this study, we estimated predominant period of an H/V spectrum in Palu City, Indonesia, by using microtremor single station observations. Sulawesi Island, eastern Indonesia, is located at the junction between the converging Pacific-Philippine, Indo- Australian Plates and the Eurasian Plate. One of the major structures in Central Sulawesi is the Palu- Koro Fault system, which extends NNW-SSE direction and cross-cuts Sulawesi along more than 300 km from the North Sulawesi trench passing southward through Palu Bay then turn to the southeast, connecting to the Matano and Lawanopo Faults and further eastward both faults join to Tolo trench. Several earthquakes have been known along Palu-Koro Fault system such as Gimpu earthquake (1905), Kulawi earthquake (1907), Kantewu earthquake (1934), and offshore Donggala earthquake (1968) which caused tsunami that destroyed 800 houses and killed 200 people at Donggala district. Palu City, located at the northern tip of Palu depression, is a capital of the Central Sulawesi Province. It is located in the active seismic zone of the Palu-Koro fault. Spectral ratios for horizontal and vertical motion (H/V) from single-station microtremor records were used to identify the predominant periods of the ground vi- brations. Understanding the parameters of predominant period[s] and seismichazard is important for mitigation and environmental planning of the Palu region. Keywords: H/V spectrum, predominant period[s], microtremor single station observation
