Abstract

The process of refining iron by Blast Furnace (BF) or Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) produces steel and by-product: steel slag. This by-product can be used for various fields such as construction, industry and agriculture. This paper aimed to discuss the use of steel slag in agriculture as fertilizer, lime and ameliorant in the soils. The content of elements and compounds in steel slag is the basic component for the utilization of this material, therefore they are displayed quite completely. The presence of other contents like of heavy metals which are classified as hazardous toxic materials is also stated. Utilization of steel slag for agriculture has been carried out widely in various countries such as Japan, Germany and the United States. There have been many studies of steel slag in Indonesia that prove the benefits of steel slag in adding nutrients and improving soil reactions. However, the use of this material is still limited to research field, has not been widely used. Meanwhile, many research has proven that steel slag can improve some chemical characteristics like pH and CEC, as well improve Ca, Mg and Si content. Steel slag can release P from retention and fixation and Andisols and Ultisols. Research showed that steel slag improved the yield of rice, maize, horticultural and industrial plants.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Andisols developed from parent materials of volcanic eruptions. Volcanic eruptions can occur within several periods, resulting in a sequence of soil layers that can differ from each period and produced lithologic discontinuity in the soil profile. Lithologicac discontinuity was investigated in Andisols developed from the eruptions of Mt. Tangkuban Parahu (Holocene, andesitic) and Mt. Tilu (Pleistocene, basaltic) in West Java through morphological observations of three profiles at each location. The results showed that there was lithologic discontinuity in all profiles indicated by changed in color by Munsell Soil Colour Chart, organic carbon, texture and structure as the specific A buried horizon that developed from the parent material of the earlier eruption period than the horizons above. It is recommended to carry out the mineralogical and micromorphological analyses to determine the differences in minerals and micromorphology of the discontinue horizons and carbon-dating analysis in the buried layer to determine the age of the soil and the period of eruption that developed the soil.Keywords: A buried horizon, Munsell Soil Colour Chart, organic carbon, soil mineralogy, soil morphology

Abstract

The correlation of chemical parameters and soil mineralogy one to another in Andisols were interesting to be studied, to increase the understanding of soil reactions, nutrient availability and soil mineral content. Andisols from three locations and derived from three different volcanic eruptions namely G. Tangkuban Parahu, G. Patuha and G. Tilu, with andesite, andesite-basalt and basalt parent materials respectively, were examined the correlation of several soil parameters. The values of pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, C/N and allophane content were obtained from the soil analysis of every horizon of the soil profiles at each site. Correlation analyses were used to see the relationship of the parameters. The results showed a negative correlation between pH and organic carbon (r = -590 *). The soil pH values were positively correlated with the amount of allophane (r = 0.687 *). The pH values were correlated positively with imogolite content (r = 0.356 *). The pH values were negatively correlated with organic carbon (r = -0.590 *). The organic carbon content was negatively correlated with depth (r = - 0.582 *). The organic carbon content was negatively correlated with allophane (r = 0.707 *). Total nitrogen values were negatively correlated with increasing depth (r = -0.531 *).Keywords: Mt. Tangkuban Parahu, Mt. Patuha, Mt. Tilu, andesit, andesit-basalan, alophane

Abstract

The effort to utilize the soils optimally, especially Ultisols, requires an appropriate understanding related to their characteristics. The characteristics of Ultisols are sturdily influenced by soil-forming factors, viz. climate, parent material, pedogenic age and topography. The purposes of this study were to determine the chemical, physical, mineralogical characteristics and soil development classification level of Ultisol from two different types of parent rock. This research was conducted in Kampungbaru Village, Petir District and Sukalaksana Village, Curug District, in Serang Regency, Banten Province. These two villages represented different parent materials, namely andesite lava parent material of Holocene age (Kampungbaru Village) and tuff dacite parent material of early Pleistocene age (Sukalaksana Village). The research method was descriptive, comparative and survey. Soil classification was based on the Soil Survey Staff. The results showed that Ultisols developed from dacite tuff and andesite lava did not show contrasting differences in soil properties. The level of weathering of the two pedons was at the senile stage and the level of soil development of the two pedons was at the argillic stage. The soil classification of Kampungbaru pedon was Typic Palehumults, very fine, kaolinitic, isohyperthermic, while the Sukalaksana pedons was Arenic Paleudults, fine, kaolinitic, isohyperthermic

Abstract

The efforts to utilize the agricultural land need a proper understanding of the soil characteristics. The soil characteristics themselves are influenced by the factors that regulate and control the soil forming and pedogenesis processes. The main soil forming factors in this study was the different ages and composition of parent materials from the eruption of Mt. Tangkuban Parahu in West Java. This research was done to comprehend the pedogenesis and to figure out the soil classifications that developed in two geological formations (Qyd and Qvu) and two ages of eruption (Holocene and Pleistocene) of Mt. Tangkuban Parahu. The study was conducted in Ciater, Subang Regency and Jatinangor, Sumedang Regency in West Java Province. The study consisted of four stages: preparation, field survey and soil sampling, laboratory analysis and presenting the report. The results showed that Pedon of Jatinangor consisted of three different stratifications of ages. The clay mineralogical composition was dominated by kaolinite, whereas mineralogical composition of the sandy fractions (heavy fractions) was augite-hypersthene. Pedon of Ciater also consists of three different stratifications of age. The clay mineralogical composition was dominated by allophane, while mineralogical compositions of the sandy fractions (heavy fractions) were green amphibole-hypersthene in the overlying horizons and amphibole-augite in the underlying horizons. The stage of soil formation on both pedon were cambic or viril. The soil classification according to Soil Taxonomy were Acrudoxic Durudands, medial over loamy-skeletal, isohyperthermic in Ciater Pedon and Fluventic Eutrudepts, fine, kaolinitic, isohyperthermic in Jatinangor Pedon.Key words: slow sand filter, activated carbon, silica sand, sand, gravel, zeolite

Abstract

ABSTRACT Slope held a vital role in soil formation and development through erosion, transportation, and deposition. The degree of the slope determines the flow rate and volume of surface water, while the slope position determines rate of the erosion. The research aimed to understand the impact of the slope position against physical (texture, Bulk Density, top soil thickness,) and chemical (pH, Organic carbon, and cation exchange capacity (CEC)) and the correlation between the top soil thickness to physical and soil chemical properties. The research was conducted in April to June 2016. The soil samples were taken from 15-25% slope and three positions: upper slope, middle slope and lower slope. Each slope was repeated 5 times, hence 15 spots of soil samples were obtained. This research used descriptive comparative method and stratified purpose sampling as the sampling technique. The results of T-Student test showed that the slope position influenced the topsoil thickness of 6.91 point in the upper and middle slope and 3.89 point in the middle and lower slope. The results of the correlation test in each parameter in the upper hill showed there was correlation between top soil against dust fraction (r=0.826), top soil against clay fraction (r=0.823), and top soil against soil CEC (r=0.787). The middle slope showed there was correlation between top soil and soil pH (r=0.872) and topsoil to soil CEC (r=0.790). The lower slope showed there was correlation between top soil and soil pH (r=0.870).Key words: soil erosion, Inceptisols, slope position, topsoil
