Abstract

The study area is located in Sedayu District, Bantul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta Province which belongs to the Sentolo Formation. This area is an interesting place to study because there are erosional boundaries that indicate an unconformity in the Sentolo Formation. In this study, stratigraphic measurements and sampling were carried out in the field, then the samples were prepared and analyzed for the content of planktic and benthic foraminifera fossil. The results of the analysis are the determination of biozonation, paleobathimetry, and identification of sedimentation rates and unconformity. From the data analysis, ware known that the Sentolo Formation in Sedayu area can be divided into three lithofacies, namely thickening upward calcareous sandstone – calcareous siltstone facies, channel calcareous sandstone – calcareous siltstone facies andthinning upward limestone facies. Based on the biostratigraphy analysis, can be divided into four biozonations, namely the PL1A, PL1B, PL1C, and PL2 zones which are included in the Early Pliocene age. There is an unconformity in the facies boundary of the channel calcareous sandstone – calcareous siltstone facies with thinning upward limestone facies, identified by the presence of an erosional boundary at that interval and also supported by sudden changes in paleobatimetry from Upper Bathyal to Middle Neritic. The sedimentation rate identified in this area has a value of 15.5 m / Ma which identified in the lower facies. The extrapolation results of age and sedimentation rates concluded that the unconformity occurred at 4.46–4.20 Ma, and eroded 4.03 m thick of sedimentary rocks

Abstract

Type and intensity of hydrothermal alterations affect rock engineering properties and slope stability. Identification of mineralogical characteristics of rocks is essential in determination of rock slope failure mechanism in a hydrothermal alteration zone. This research was conducted to identify mineralogical characteristics of hydrothermallyaltered andesite in Kalirejo Village and surrounding areas, Indonesia. The research was conducted by field observation and laboratory analyses involving petrographic and X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) analyses. The results showed that the research area was dominated by argillic alteration type and high alteration intensity implying high susceptibility to slope failures

Abstract

Landslide is the most frequent natural disaster in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. In the mid-March 2018, a few cracks appeared in the north of the hill in the Pendoworejo Village, Kulon Progo District, Yogyakarta Special Province. The landslide movement of this area still threatens the residents and makes them evacuated due to their fear upon potential landslide disaster. In order to reduce the risk, landslide investigation and risk assessment were conducted. The stability analysis focused on the relationship of the displacement,the velocity and the fluctuation of groundwater level due to the rainfall intensity. Then, a monitoring and warning system was designed as a non-structural mitigation effort. Based on the preliminary investigation on April 2018, there was no evidence of mass movement on the west and south part of the hill. On the other hand, the north part area was estimated to have risk as indicated by the occurrence of many cracks. Based on the result of analysis, the fluctuation of the groundwater level rose or dropped substantially before and after heavy rainfall. In the rainy season, the velocity and the displacement increased slightly in the first three months and grew rapidly afterward. In fact, the landslide risk increased in every rainy season. Therefore, the risk could be more dangerous in the future.

Abstract

This paper presents results of surface rock mass characterization for assessment of safe cut slopes and allowable bearing capacity of foundation rocks at the construction area of Gondang Dam. The rock mass characterization involved determination of intact rock engineering properties and rock mass quality based on the Geological Strength Index. The rock mass characterization results showed that the research area consisted of moderately to highly weathered and very weak to weak andesite breccia and andesite tuff breccia. The andesite breccia had very poor to fair rock mass quality, while the andesite tuff breccia had poor to fair rock mass quality. The research area was divided into three zones of safe cut slope and allowable bearing capacity. Landslides occurred at natural slopes having poor to very poor rock mass quality and inclinations greater than the determined safe cut slopes.The foundation rock of the embankment dam had fair rock massquality and 135–280 T/m2 allowable bearing capacity

Abstract

Chromium is one of the metals used in many areas of industry., However, chromium is toxic to organisms when present in large quantities in the environment. One of the method for treatment of hazardous waste containing chromium in the aquatic environment can be removed by bioremediation using sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Therefore, the purpose of this research were to analyze the chromium precipitation activity of sulfate-reducing bacteria isolated from sulfate reducing bioreactor and its molecular identification using 16S rRNA gene sequences. The result observed that the isolate of sulfate-reducing bacteria (KGP1 strain) has chromium tolerancy ability up to 5 ppm. It also showed that the strain KGP1 could precipitate chromium up to 0.141 ppm (79 %) on 5 days incubation. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, this strain identified as Desulfovibrio aerotolerans.

Abstract

Claystone middle Miocene age were found in Wonosegoro sub-district, Boyolali region, Central Java, Indonesia. The purpose of the paper is to examine and discuss the geology and typical behavor of this claystone and its micro-level mechanism. The hydraulic conductivity was assessed using consilidated apparatuses; 150 mm diameter column mound using aggregated sample and 60 mm oedometer mould using slurry sample as a reference. Claystone materials used were treated under various conditions. In long term test under constand vertical stress and hydraulic gradient, the hydraulic conductvity decreases with time although the volume of void volume of the sample increased by swelling. Water contens of the individul aggregated increased by swelling, by which strength of particles decreases with and aggregate breakdown was enchanced. As a result, large void created by large particles could be redused in its size, leading the reduction of hydraulic conductuvity. The hydralic conductivities (K values) obtained from the aggregated sample varied in a broad range compared with those from slurry sample. In the test using the higher percentage of gravel-sized aggregate (up until couarse gravel-sized; retained in 26.5 mm sieve), K values changed from 10-5 to 10-7 m/s under vertical stresses from 5 up to 245 kPa. The test was repeated using smaller percentage of gravel-sized aggregate (up until fine gravel-sized, retained in 4.75 mm sieve) and the observed K values changed from 10-5 to 10-10 m/s. While the K values obtained in the specimen made from surry under same vertical stresses was 10-9 to 10-11 m/s. All of the extruded aggregate samples had higher water content than the initial ones, which suggest the alteration mechanism of soled consolidation phase to more deformable plastic phase, whice enables thesample to decrease the void size. These results conclude that using coarse gravel-sized aggregated, which is a reasonable scenario of a practically feasible aggregate size in a field, may noy produce the aimed hydraulic conductivity by the regulated standard. Therefore, breakdown of the aggrgate size and enchament of swelling are crucial factors for the application of the clay stones as a barrier material.

Abstract

Batur paleovolcano is located in Wediombo Beach area, Gunungkidul Regency, Yogyakarta and is being part of Wuni Formation. Several volcanic products including lava flow, autoclastic breccia and volcanic breccia can be found associated with diorite intrusions. This research is aimed to characterize geological, mineralogical andgeochemical variations of igneous rocks from Batur paleovolcano to understand its petrogenesis. Detailed geological mapping with scale of 1:12,500 is conducted to identify geological aspects and delineate igneous rocks distributions. Igneous rocks and selected wall rocks samples were prepared for laboratory analysis including 8 samples for petrography and 5 samples for ICP-AES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry) analysis. Several geochemical data from previous study are also added to investigate the geochemical variations. Geological condition of the research area consists of four rock units including colluvial deposit, limestone, andesite lava and diorite intrusion. Geological structures found are normal fault and shear joint where the main stress direction is north–south. Petrography analysis showed that igneous rocks in this research area consist of diorite intrusion and andesite lava with phorphyritic texture. Plagioclase become the most abundant minerals found both as phenocryst phase and groundmass. Hornblende only occur as phenocryst phase in minor amounts as accesory mineral. Major elementsgeochemistry analysis showed the rocks are characterized by intermediate silica with low alkali content. They are can be categorized as calc-alkaline series. However, some samples are fall into tholeiitic series. Major elements variation and textural study also indicate the magma is experienced differentiation process by fractional crystallization mechanism. This study suggests that igneous rocks from Batur paleovolcano is formed by two phases of formation. Earlier phase is the formation of andesite lava in island arc tholeiitic tectonic setting then at the later phase is formation of diorite intrusion in the calc-alkaline basalts tectonic setting.

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Batu Hijau mine pit is known as one of the largest copper pit mine in Nusa Tenggara Barat, Indonesia. Similiar as other copper mine pits in Indonesia, This site also faces acid mine water (AMD) problem. Based on the mine management plan, the AMD generated from this pit is being collected into Santong ponds in the southwest of the pit located in the upstrean area if Sejorong watershed. By the next decade, Batu Hijau mine will be in the closure mine period and it is important to understand the probable move- ment of AMD under the Santong ponds whether the AMD leaked to groundwater or not. This research aims to develop a numerical model of groundwater flow and predict the movement of AMD by applying particle tracking method. Secondary and primary data of geology, hydrology, and hydrogeology. Also, groundwater pumpage discharge infor- mation was collected and analysed to develop hydrogeological conceptual model and the numerical model. The conceptual model of hydrogeological system in the research area is known to be built on unconfined aquifer system from a combination of weathered and fractured volcanic rocks in the upstream to middle part of watershed and majorly by allu- vial and coastal deposits in the downstream area. The thickness of aquifer is vary between 20 to about 300 m and divide into 5 layers in the numerical model, with hydraulic conduc- tivity ranges between 5 to 100 m/day and groundwater recharge is vary between 180 to 700 mm/year from downstream to upstream of watershed. Groundwater flow boundaries in the Sejorong watershed are mainly controlled by topographical feature as water divide boundaries and the existing of Sejorong parennial rivers in the middle of this watershed. Steady state particle tracking results from the numerical groundwater flow model show AMD from Santong ponds may migrate in groundwater only to a distance of about 500 m to the downstream and therefore it is unlikely that AMD seepages from Santong pond may contaminate water in the production wells.

Abstract

Akimeugah Basin in the western part of Aru Trough is included as a Paleozoic Basin which is one of the potential hydrocarbon-producing basins in Eastern Indonesia. Tectonic evolution in Akimeugah Basin during Cambrian to present has produced a very significant erosion that affected the hydrocarbon generation process. ‘ARD’ Block study uses three exploratory well data including well report and 26 lines of 2D seismic data with a total length of 5,812.55 kilometers and the distance between seismic lines ranging from 10 to 15 kilometers. Seismic data is processed with IHS Kingdom software for tectonostratigraphy analysis, while calculation and erosion analysis are performed by combining well data consisting of sonic, vitrinite reflectance and seismic. To get a burial history model and generation & expulsion period, this study utilizes Petromod software. Five phases of the tectonic evolution led to four times of erosional period with a sediment thickness of 290 – 3,370 feet were loss. The erosion of the sedimentary rocks causes the maturation process delayed more than 200 million years. Burial history in the study area with the erosion absence assumption results a hydrocarbon generation starting from around 210 million years ago. Meanwhile, by considering the loss of eroded sedimentary rocks during four tectonic phases, hydrocarbon generation time just occurred 3.1 million years ago.
