Abstract

Liquid waste is the main source of contamination of water bodies, especially river water. This pollution causes decreased water quality in water bodies. One of the wastewater treatment treatments is the Multi Soil Layering (MSL) method. Some of the advantages of using the MSL method are that it is known to be cheap in terms of cost, easy to implement, does not require complicated maintenance so that it can be used continuously, and is also environmentally friendly. One of the constituent materials of the MSL reactor is andesol soil, gravel, and pearlite. MSL has two wastewater treatment zones, the aerobic zone, and the anaerobic zone. The article review aims to compare the efficiency of reducing the levels of pollutant parameters from aerobic and anaerobic processes in MSLmethod in wastewater.

Abstract

Traditional gold mining activities in Tambang Sawah Village, Lebong Regency, Bengkulu Province, produce tailings waste with high concentrations of mercury (Hg). This waste is discharged directly into the Air Putih River without prior treatment. This research aims to measure mercury levels in the tailings and analyze the relationship between the quantity of discarded tailings and the Hg contamination levels in river sediments. Sampling was conducted following the JPHA method, and Hg level analysis was based on NOAA and ASTM guidelines. The results indicate that all tailings samples from 10 discharge points exceeded the mercury contamination threshold. The total estimated tailings discharged each week reached 1,600 kg from 40 miners. The highest concentrations were found at points with the most miners. A laboratory test on 10 tailing samples collected from discharge points along the Air Putih River showed that all samples contained mercury (Hg), with the highest concentration reaching up to 266 ppm.
