Abstract

Literature study on the management of Acid Mine Drainage through phytoremediation has become crucial to gain a better understanding of its potential, challenges, and recent developments. The research method employed in this study is Literature Review. Literature Review involves a series of activities related to collecting literature data, reading and note-taking, as well as processing research materials. The findings reveal that using a greater variety of plants provides a more comprehensive overview. The use of diverse plants or more complex phytoremediation systems offers a broader understanding. The evaluation of plant abilities in absorbing iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) is emphasized. Adding evaluations for other metals or potential pollutants would enhance the research completeness. A decline in plant absorption abilities after ten days is observed, but external factors such as temperature, pH, or environmental conditions affecting this decline are not extensively discussed

Abstract

The Bogowonto River estuary is a coastal area in the open water category because it faces the Indian Ocean directly, it has high wave energy, which will cause erosion and abrasion, and the presence of mangrove and pond ecosystems (silvofishery) can support the development of coastal areas as conservation land. So it is necessary to conduct research to examine the influence of soil physical properties on silvofishing and determine the types of mangroves in the Bogowonto River estuary area. The method used was a survey, where soil samples were tested at the Yogyakarta BPTP Laboratory and the Yogyakarta "Veteran" National Development University at a depth of 0–20 cm and 20–40 cm. Sampling was conducted in a zigzag method from the left (near the pond) and right sides of the river. The results of the research found that there are 2 types of mangroves, namely the Tan cang (Bruguiera sp.), which grows far from the coastline and close to fish pond areas (silvofishery), has a has a relatively stable pH, is dominated by clay texture, and has a low salinity level. White Mangrove (Avicennia sp.) grows near the coastline, with a dominant sandy loam texture, low-normal pH, and high salinity levels. Mangroves that grow along the southern river in the presence of silvofishery can help with the deposition process of mud that is transported along the river and maintain the sustainability of fish populations, and litter from mangroves tends to increase the organic matter content of the soil.

Abstract

Coal mining activities often cause environmental challenges, one of which is acid mine drainage (AMD) with low pH and elevated concentrations of heavy metals and suspended solids. This study aimed to assess water quality improvement through a constructed wetland system using Purun tikus (Eleocharis dulcis) and palm oil empty fruit bunch compost (TKKS). Laboratory-scale experiments were conducted with five treatment variations and three replications over a 20-day retention period. Results indicated that the media combination, with or without limestone addition, significantly altered the water quality parameters. The pH increased from 3.35 to 7.76; TSS decreased from 1,373.3 mg/L to 151 mg/L; Fe decreased from 33.15 mg/L to 2.68 mg/L; and Mn decreased from 7.06 mg/L to 0.45 mg/L over 20 days. These results indicate the potential of constructed wetlands using native plants and organic materials as an environmentally friendly strategy for treating mining wastewater.

Abstract

Tailings, the waste residue from gold mining processes, typically contain hazardous heavy metals that have the potential to contaminate the environment, particularly soil. This study aims to evaluate the changes in the chemical properties of gold mine tailings following nanobubble flotation treatment as an initial step toward sustainable remediation. Tailings samples were collected in a composite from two mining sites using different processing methods: cyanidation (GMBU Antam Pongkor, Bogor) and amalgamation (ASGM Kertajaya, Sukabumi). Nanobubble flotation was applied using combinations of reagents consisting of collectors (EDTA or NaOH), a frother (MIBC), and depressants (Na₂SiO₃ or Na₂CO₃). Parameters analyzed included pH (H₂O, KCl, H₂O₂), Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), and exchangeable base cations (Ca, Mg, K, Na), measured using standard soil chemical methods. Comparative analysis was performed to assess changes in tailings chemistry before and after treatment. Results showed that nanobubble flotation slightly increased the pH of both tailings, indicating the neutralization of residual acidity. Varied CEC values depending on reagent composition, reflecting differences in the interaction between reagents and clay mineral surfaces. Base saturation in both sites remained low, suggesting that additional amelioration, such as gypsum or organic matter, is still required to improve cation balance. Nanobubble technology affected the tolerated tailings’ chemical properties for soil and plants and demonstrated potential as a preliminary step toward the reclamation and reutilization of gold mine tailings for future land use.

Abstract

Soils in gold mining areas have the potential to contain heavy metals from rock weathering.  Such soil was planted with sweet sorghum to increase land productivity in Boto Village, Wonogiri Regency, Central Java during the dry season.  The harvested crop was not used for food, but processed into biofuels through fermentation and distillation.   Accordingly, the aim of this research was to trace the presence of several heavy metals in vinasse, a by-product of sweet sorghum stem juice fermentation process, from plants grown on soil in a community of gold mining area.  Two varieties of sweet sorghum, Samurai 1 and Samurai 2, were cultivated on this soil. Then, they were harvested and the sorghum stem extract was fermented to produce ethanol.  Distillation process was carried out on the fermented juice to increase the ethanol concentration, leaving behind vinasse.  Chemical analysis was carried out on the chemical properties of the soil (pH, CEC, Organic-C, total-N, available-K, and potential-P), and content of the heavy metals of Fe, Mn, Pb, and Cu in the soil, juice, and vinasse.  The soil exhibits a neutral reaction, low salinity, organic-C, total-N, available P and CEC.  The levels of Fe, Mn, Pb, and Cu in soil are 7.8%, 0.1%, 76.00 ppm, 23.81 ppm. In the juice, these concentrations were 9.66, 21.14, 1.49, 1.64 in ppm. In the vinasse, they were 5.29, 28.15, 1.05, 0.73 ppm, respectively.  These results indicate that heavy metals in soils could be absorbed by sorghum crops and they were absorbed in the stems of Samurai 1 and 2 sweet sorghum varieties, extracted into the juice, and partially remained in the vinasse.
