Abstract

Takaras River is a river basin that is vulnerable to pollution, particularly from the mercury usage in small-scale gold mining. This study aims to identify water quality based on mercury (Hg)and pH levels in the Takaras River. Samples were taken at two locations using a purposive sampling method. Results showed indications of mercury use on former gold mining land around the Takaras River altought the mercury content level was below 0.075 µg/L or 0.00075 mg/L in sample 1 and 2. Based on the test results, the acidity level (pH) in the two water samples from Takaras River is 3.86 and 3.84 in sample 1 and 2, compared to the maximum pH quality standard of 6-9 for Class II water, it is concluded that the scale of acidity in Takaras River is very low, indicating that the water quality in the Takaras River is highly acidic, abnormal, and shows signs of serious pollution. The implications of low pH levels in the Takaras River can cause damage to the Takaras River ecosystem, a decline in soil quality and fertility, and an increase in heavy metal toxicity in the environment surrounding the river.

Abstract

The amalgamation and flotation methods are widely used by miners because the methods are simple, fast and easy. The purpose of this study was aims to test the effectiveness of gold recovery using the amalgamation and flotation methods in conventional gold processing. The research methods used were observation and testing using the amalgamation and flotation methods in conventional gold processing. The effectiveness analysis was carried out by calculating the percentage of gold produced in the amalgamation and flotation processing methods. The test was carried out on 10 samples, each weighing 10 kg. The amalgamation process used a Hg solution, while flotation used a detergent reagent. The total primary gold processing using the amalgamation method was 11.46 grams, while the total primary gold recovery using the flotation method was 12.15 grams. The results of gold processing using the flotation method were higher than those using amalgamation because flotation can separate gold more efficiently from ore containing various impurity minerals. Meanwhile, the amalgamation method, which uses mercury, tends to be less effective and loses some of the gold because it only binds very fine and dispersed gold particles, while flotation can handle ore with lower gold content and larger gold particles.

Abstract

Sand mining activities can cause environmental changes and reduce water quality in abandoned mining ponds due to alterations in the physical and chemical characteristics of aquatic ecosystems. This study aimed to analyze the level of water pollution in former sand mining ponds located in Kalampangan Village, Palangka Raya City, based on physical and chemical parameters and the Pollution Index (PI). The study employed a quantitative descriptive method using primary data obtained from water quality measurements, including Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), pH, copper (Cu), lead (Pb), and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). The analysis was conducted by comparing the measurement results with the water quality standards stipulated in Government Regulation Number 22 of 2021 and by calculating the Pollution Index (PI). The results showed that TSS and TDS concentrations complied with the applicable water quality standards, whereas several chemical parameters, including pH, Cu, Pb, and COD, exceeded the established limits. The low pH values indicated acidic water conditions, while the elevated COD levels suggested the presence of organic and inorganic pollutants in the water. Based on the Pollution Index (PI) calculation, all water samples were classified as slightly polluted. Therefore, environmental management measures such as liming, bioremediation, the utilization of aquatic plants, and aeration are recommended to improve water quality in former sand mining ponds.
