Abstract

Different chemical modifiers for the determination of lead by the electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) in a candidate reference material of fish meal matrix were studied. The optimal pyrolysis and atomizing temperatures (TP and TA) of lead obtained by adding modifiers, lanthanum nitrate, magnesium nitrate, and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate ,were (750 and 2300 oC), (600 and 2000 oC) and (650 and 2200 oC), respectively, whereas the TP and TA of the lead without modifier were 450 and 2000 oC, respectively. Performance test of the chemical modifiers are based on dynamic range, characteristic mass, limit of detection, precision, accuracy, sample recovery, and repeatability. The experiment without modifier was carried out as control of the performance. The performance of analytical procedures by adding ammonium dihydrogen phosphate modifier were found that 0.2 - 2.0 ng of the dynamic range, 19 pg of characteristic mass, 16 pg of limit of detection, 3.45 % of precision, 98 ± 3% of sample recovery, and 0.04 ± 0.01 μg/g of repeatability . The application result of the method for the determination of fish meal matrix 0.87 ± 0.03 μg/g of lead. The accuracy of the proposed method was verified by analyzing the certified reference material, cod muscle, BCR CRM 422 and the result was 0.092±0.008 which is almost similar with its certified value, 0.085±0.015.

Abstract

The sand activation using three types of acids namely HNO3 0.1 M, H2SO4 1 M, and H3PO4 14 M have been done. The acid-activated sand was used as adsorbent of calcium ions (Ca2+) contained in hard water. The study was firstly determined the chemical contents of the sand using Energy Dispersive Xray Fluorescence instrument and followed by determination of the sand surface area using methylene blue and it’s surface acidity by titration. The experiment conducted with absence of the acid was carried out as an control. The results showed that the sand contained 47.95 % of SiO2 and 18.79% of Fe2O3. The highest surface area was found at the sample activated by H3PO4 14 M (27.73 m2/g). The surface area activated by H2SO4 1 M and HNO3 0.1 M were 26.56 and 25.59 m2/g, respectively. Highest surface acidity was found at the sample activated by H3PO4 14 M (299.60 µmol/gram), while those treated with H2SO4 1 M and HNO3 0.1M were 277.70 and 204.80 µmol/gram, respectively. That was, however, the sample without acid activation had surface acidity of 113.60 µmol/gram. Furthermore, the sand activated by H3PO4 14 M maximally absorbed 892.86 μmol Ca/g sand and those activated by H2SO4 1 M and HNO3 0.1M maximally absorbed 847.46 and 684.93 μmol Ca/g sand, respectively; whereas the sand without activation maximally absorbed 510.20 μmol Ca/g sand. Those results indicate that higher surface area higher surface acidity and higher capability of the calcium ion absorptions. Therefore, the acids-activated sand potentially reduces calcium ions content of hard water.

Abstract

Air sumur di Kelurahan Tarus diduga telah terkontaminasi nitrit dan kadmium yang berasal dari pemakaian secara berlebihan pupuk SP-36 dan Urea. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini telah dilaksanakan untuk membandingkan konsentrasi kontaminan nitrit dan kadmium dalam air sumur di daerah persawahan dan pemukiman dengan ambang baku mutu air baku air minum dan memprediksi besarnya risiko dari kontaminan terhadap kesehatan manusia. Penelitian deskriptif eksperimental ini menggunakan maing-masing 10 sampel air sumur dari daerah persawahan dan pemukiman. Kadar nitrit dan kadmium dianalisis dengan metode spektrofotometri dan spektrofotometri serapan atom. Baku mutu air minum dan air baku air minum berdasarkan PP 82 tahun 2001 dan PerMenKes 492 tahun 2010. Prediksi risiko terhadap kesehatan manusia dilakukan berdasarkan metode analisis risiko Public Health Assessment. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa di daerah persawahan dan permukiman berturut-turut terdapat tiga dan lima sumur yang mengandung nitrit namun kandungan tersebut masih berada di bawah nilai baku mutu air baku air minum. Sedangkan untuk kadmium, terdapat berturut-turut delapan dan tujuh sumur di daerah persawahan dan permukiman kandungannya berada di atas nilai baku mutu air baku air minum. Analisis risiko menunjukkan bahwa nitrit di persawahan dan pemukiman tidak berisiko terhadap kesehatan, sedangkan kadmium persawahan dan pemukiman yang berisiko sebanyak 14 sampel untuk durasi waktu 30 tahun, 12 sampel untuk 20 tahun, 10 sampel untuk 10 tahun dan tiga sampel untuk lima tahun. Karena itu diharapkan adanya pengurangan volume konsumsi air sumur yang berisiko, dan penanganan air tanah yang tercemar serta pengurangan pemakaian pupuk anorganik.

Abstract

Hospital liquid waste has the potential to pollute the environment and harm health if not processed properly because it contains high enough organic and inorganic compounds, pathogenic microorganisms, toxic chemicals and radioactive substances. Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah (RSUD) Kefamenanu is the only hospital owned by the Government of Kabupaten Timor Tengah Utara and located in the middle of community settlements and uses wastewater treatment plants (IPAL) in the treatment of hospital liquid waste since 2016. The results of liquid waste quality examination showed that there are several parameters that have increased after processing through IPAL so that researchers use filtration method in processing liquid waste of RSUD Kefamenanu. This study aims to find out the effectiveness of liquid waste treatment of RSUD Kefamenanu through filtration process using filter media in the form of coconut coir, sand, palm oil, activated charcoal and zeolite. This research is a pseudo experiment, namely to find out the percentage of decreased levels of liquid waste parameters through the filtration process. The results showed that the levels after processing had an average value of BOD 3.86 mg/L, TSS 14 mg/L and ammonia of 0.10 mg/L. The filtration process was able to lower BOD levels by 63.62%, TSS by 93.24% and ammonia by 86.57%. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the filtration process is able to lower levels of BOD, TSS and ammonia in liquid waste of RSUD Kefamenanu.

Abstract

The Surabaya River plays an important role as water supply of the Surabaya PDAM, irrigation, industry, transportation, and means of recreation. However, domestic, industrial, and agricultural waste that were discharged into the river stream polluted the Surabaya River and decreased the carrying capacity and assimilative capacity. Therefore, effort to monitor and control the Surabaya River water pollution need to be well organized and implemented. The aim of the research is to develop a model of water pollution control on Surabaya River region. The research was carried out based on field survey, in situ and laboratory sample examination, questionnaire, and expert judgment. Pollution control model developed in this study was built into three sub-models, namely: (1) ecology sub-model, (2) social sub-model, and (3) economy sub-model using powersim constructor 2.5 version. Pollution control scenarios were developed using prospective analysis. The results of water pollution parameters such as TSS, DO, BOD, COD, N-NO2, and the level of mercury (Hg) were higher than the allowable class 1 standard. The sources of Surabaya River pollution mainly are domestic and industrial waste with total load of BOD, COD, and TSS are 55.49, 132.58, and 210.13 ton/day, respectively. According to water quality status, the Surabaya River is categorized as heavy polluted and the loading pollution need to be decreased. By using prospective analysis, there were five important factors that affect the future of the Surabaya River water pollution control, i.e.: (1) population growth and community awareness, (2) community perception, (3) implementation of regulations, (4) commitment/local government support, and (5) system and institutional capacity. There are three development scenarios, that are pessimistic, moderate and optimistic. The moderate and optimistic scenario are the realistic scenarios that occur in the future for Surabaya River water pollution control in considering of ecology, social and economy aspects.
