Abstract

The petrogenesis study of the metamorphic rocks of the Mukito Formation was carried out in the Sorawolio area, Bau-Bau City, Buton Island, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. This research area is included in the southern part of the Buton sheet with coordinates S 5⁰23'40.8'' and E 122⁰43'44.9''. The aim of this research is to determine the petrogenesis of metamorphic rocks which includes determining the rock type, facies, type of metamorphism and protolith. The research methods used include megascopic and microscopic analysis of rocks in the form of petrographic analysis which includes identification of mineral content and rock texture and geochemical analysis in the form of XRF tests to determine the main oxide elements in metamorphic rock samples. Data obtained from the results of petrographic analysis show that the research area consists of several types of metamorphic rock, namely serpentinite, phyllite, chlorite schist, hornblende schist and amphibolite. The metamorphic rocks in the research area are included in the greenschist facies and amphibolite facies with regional metamorphism types as well as protoliths from igneous rocks in the form of basalt rock which were formed in the tholeiitic oceanic-island tectonic environment which is a convergent complex characterized by continental origin in the magma series in the form of the tholeiitic series and calc -alkaline series.

Abstract

A study was conducted on Sombori Island, Central Sulawesi. The purpose of this study was to determine the content of heavy metals and the origin of contamination and the impact of heavy metal contamination. Seawater samples totaling 30 stations were analyzed in the form of total suspended solids (TSS), pH, salinity and heavy metal content of hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) and nickel (Ni) using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) analysis. The heavy metals chromium (Cr) and nickel in the sediment were analyzed using flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). The results of the study showed that heavy metals in seawater in the form of Ni are still safe for the marine ecosystem of the research area. However, the heavy metal Cr6+ has contaminated several marine waters stations because it has exceeded the established quality standards so that it can have a negative impact on the marine ecosystem including humans through the food chain. The content of heavy metal Cr in marine sediments has not passed the established sediment quality standards. However, for heavy metal Ni in sediment, it has exceeded the established sediment quality standards so that it has had a negative impact on the marine ecosystem that lives and feeds around/on the sediment including humans through the food chain. Sources of contamination of heavy metals in water and sediment are from the weathering of ultramafic rocks containing heavy metals, mining activities, shipping activities using fossil fuels, the use of ship paint containing heavy metals, solid waste from ships containing heavy metals and domestic waste.
