Abstract

A Life Cycle Assessment study aimed at identifying the environmental impacts of a coal mining process has been carried out. The scope of the process includes land clearing to coal barging (cradle to gate). The functional unit used is the production of 1 ton of coal. The inventory data in this research is site specific, collected from a mining company located in East Kalimantan during the period September 2022 to June 2023. Impact analysis was characterized using the ReCiPe 2016 midpoint (H) method with the help of OpenLCA v.2.0.2 software. From the impact analysis, it was found that the coal mining operations studied have the potential to produce Fine Particulate Matter Formation (0.122 kg PM2.5eq), Global Warming (73.28 kg CO2eq), Terrestrial Acidification (0.4114 kg SO2eq), Ozone formation-human health and Ozone formation-terrestrial ecosystems (0.54 kg NOx eq), Land Use (4.42×10-4 m2a crop eq), and Water consumption (11.44 m3). The potential for Particulate Matter Formation and Global Warming is generally related to the process of moving materials and water consumption caused by the process of transporting coal. From this research, it was found that the overburden stripping process is an environmental hotspot for the coal mining process because it has the greatest potential impact of all existing processes.

Abstract

This study examines the use of NaCl as an activator in the production of activated carbon from Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste to overcome environmental problems due to the accumulation of plastic waste that is difficult to decompose. This study aims to examine the effect of NaCl concentration on the iodine adsorption capacity of activated carbon. This type of research is experimental research. The samples used were 15 samples of activated carbon. Data collection methods through laboratory experiments. Data analysis was performed by simple linear regression analysis. The results of the analysis showed that variations in NaCl concentration had a significant effect on iodine adsorption capacity, with an R² value of 0.868 indicating 86.8% of variations in adsorption capacity could be explained by NaCl concentration. A concentration of 1M was considered optimal in balancing effectiveness, production cost, and environmental impact, although higher concentrations resulted in better adsorption capacity. This study concludes that the utilization of PET waste for activated carbon production provides a sustainable solution to plastic pollution, reduces waste while producing high-value products for industrial applications, and contributes to the development of more environmentally friendly and economical activated carbon production methods.

Abstract

The Environmental Engineering Laboratory at President University is obliged to systematically identify and manage Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) aspects to comply with LAM Engineering Regulation No. 1 of 2025, which mandates Higher Education Institutions in Engineering to ensure the provision of appropriate laboratory infrastructure and continuous monitoring of EHS conditions within their facilities. Through a systematic identification process that aligns activities and working conditions with relevant regulations, 9 critical parameters have been established, including temperature, humidity, CO2, PM2.5, PM10, lighting, noise, airflow, and Total Suspended Particles (TSP). These findings were obtained based on the identification of potential pollution risks based on laboratory experiments based on study program modules, measurements of dimensions and equipment as well as indoor air circulation conditions and literature review on indoor air quality study and regulation. The results of the critical parameter determination provide a comprehensive picture of critical indoor air quality parameters in laboratories, thus forming the basis for the development of an appropriate EHS management system at President University laboratories. Based on these research results, it is recommended to regularly monitoring indoor air quality with monitoring device, move the furnace as source of particulates, and maintaining humidity by installing a dehumidifier to ensure a healthy and standard-compliant learning environment.
