Abstract

Air asam tambang (AAT) merupakan salah satu masalah yang ditimbulkan akibat kegiatan pertambangan. Air asam tambang terbentuk sebagai hasil oksidasi mineral sulfida yang tersingkap ke permukaan oleh air dan oksigen. Alternatif pengelolaan AAT secara berkelanjutan dan ramah lingkungan yaitu dengan membuat konstruksi wetland. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan jenis dan komposisi bahan organik potensial yang mampu meningkatkan kualitas AAT. Penelitian ini terdiri dari tiga tahapan penelitian yang dilakukan secara bertahap, yaitu screening jenis bahan organik, kombinasi dua jenis bahan organik yang berbeda, dan kombinasi pupuk kandang sapi dan tandan kosong kelapa sawit pada berbagai komposisi. Jenis bahan organik yang digunakan yaitu pupuk kandang sapi, pupuk kandang kambing, pupuk kandang ayam, tiga jenis pupuk kompos, tandan kosong kelapa sawit, serbuk gergajian kayu, chip kayu, cacahan eceng gondok, cocopeat, limbah segar daun kayu putih, limbah kompos daun kayu putih, limbah penyulingan sereh wangi, limbah baglog jamur, dan ampas tebu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat beberapa jenis bahan organik yang dapat meningkatkan pH AAT. Kombinasi tandan kosong kelapa sawit dan pupuk kandang sapi dengan perbandingan 2:1 menjadi pilihan yang tepat karena mampu meningkatkan pH dan menurunkan logam berat dan sulfat terlarut serta ketersediaan bahan baku yang melimpah di alam, khususnya di Indonesia.

Abstract

Coal mining is an activity to exploit land to get coal stored underground. Environmental problems in coal mining activities are generally associated with Acid Mine Drainage (AMD). The purpose of this study was to find out the best combination of organic matter and incubation time in remediating acid mine drainage on wetlands with water hyacinth plants. This research was conducted at PT Berau Coal in Tanjung Redeb, Berau, East Kalimantan. This study used a split-plot design. The main plot was the treatment of a combination of organic matter which consisted of 4 levels: A0 as a control (without organic matter), A1 with a combination of compost + sawdust (1:2), A2 with a combination of compost + sawdust (1:1), A3 with a combination of compost + sawdust (2:1). The subplot was treatment incubation time consisting of 2 levels, namely for 15 days and 33 days. Data analysis used variance analysis at the 5% level followed by the Duncan Multiple Range Test with a level of 5% when there were significant differences. The results showed that the addition of organic matter had a significant effect on the increase in pH and a decrease in the concentration of Mn in water, but it did not significantly affect the decrease in Fe concentration in water. The best combination of organic matter in acid mine remediation in this study was compost + sawdust (2:1) during the incubation time of 33 days

Abstract

Acid mine drainage (AMD), produced when sulfide minerals are subjected to oxygen and water, is one of the major issues in mining industries. Without proper management, AMD's release to the environment would cause seriously prolonged environmental and health issues, such as increases soil acidity and reduces water quality due to extremely low pH, high sulphate concentration, and heavy metal solubility. AMD treatments are divided into two categories, i.e., active treatment, conducted by applying a chemical to the AMD to neutralize pH and precipitate heavy metals; and passive treatment, which relies on biological and biochemical processes. The active treatment may provide an immediate effect, but costly and yet sustainable; meanwhile, passive treatment takes time to establish and to generate an effect, but it is more economical, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. The wetland system is an example of passive treatment. Therefore, this review focuses on passive treatments, especially the selection of organic materials used in constructed AMD wetland treatment. Organic materials play a central role in the wetland system, i.e., to chelate metal ions, remove sulphate from the solution, increase pH, and growth media for microbes, especially sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) and plants are grown in the system. Overall, organic materials determine the effectiveness of the wetland system to neutralize AMD passively and sustainably.
