Abstract

Sidoarjo mud is a volcanic mud (VM) that continues erupting in Sidoarjo to this day. The VM has the potential to be used in water treatment technology as a reagent or catalyst due to enormous amount of discharged flow and rich mineral content. Heterogeneous Fenton is one promising process for maximizing the VM potential, however customization is essential to optimize the process. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the catalytic abilities of Sidoarjo VM in Fenton oxidation by several modification approaches, such as calcination (CVM), impregnation-calcination (ICVM), and unmodified (UVM). Methodology and results: Fenton oxidation was carried out in a batch reactor system with the following conditions: initial congo red (CR) concentration= 50 mg/L; VCR=300mL pH=2; agitation speed=300 rpm; catalyst dosage=0.5 g/L; dan H2O2 concentration=485 mg/L. The highest performance results were achieved when the process was combined with adsorption, at 90% (CVM), 55% (ICVM), and 52% (UVM), respectively. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: The Sidoarjo volcanic mud shows high potential as a Fenton catalyst in the UVM modification technique with CVM reveals to be more suitable as an adsorbent.

Abstract

The widespread use of pesticides in agriculture, aquaculture, and public health has led to severe environmental and public health concerns due to their overapplication and persistence in ecosystems. Pesticide residues accumulate in soil, degrade its fertility, pollute groundwater, and harm non-target organisms, including beneficial insects and aquatic life. This persistent contamination poses a significant threat to biodiversity, food safety, and ecosystem resilience. The aim of this review is to examine microbial bioremediation as a sustainable and effective strategy for remediating pesticide-contaminated soils. The paper evaluates the mechanisms by which microorganisms degrade or transform hazardous pesticide compounds into less toxic or non-toxic forms and assesses the advantages and limitations of bioremediation technologies. Notably, bioremediation is recognized for its environmental compatibility, cost-effectiveness, and potential to restore soil health without undermining agricultural productivity. Recent studies highlight promising microbial strains capable of degrading diverse classes of pesticides under varying environmental conditions. However, challenges remain, including the scalability of microbial technologies, the complexity of mixed-contaminant sites, and the influence of abiotic factors on microbial efficacy. Future research should focus on optimizing microbial consortia, integrating genetic and metabolic engineering approaches, and developing field-scale applications tailored to specific agroecosystems. Advancing these areas will be critical for establishing bioremediation as a central pillar in sustainable pesticide management and environmental restoration strategies.
