Abstract

This study aims to investigate the mechanical properties of lightweight concrete using lightweight aggregate and analyze the impact of silica fume on enhancing its compressive strength. The main objective of this study was to improve the value of industrial waste by utilizing GGBFS as a substitute for cement. Four alternative compositions have been used to produce samples of lightweight concrete. The coarse aggregate is substituted with 100% lightweight expanded clay aggregate, whereas the fine aggregates are replaced with 100% vermiculite and 100% polystyrene bead waste.                                A combination of 20% GGBFS and 10% silica fume is employed for cement replacement. The materials used throughout this study consist of aluminum powder and superplasticizer. The workability, compressive strength, tensile strength, and specific gravity of concrete will be determined by testing.                  The waster curing will be carried out on cylindrical concrete specimens 200 mm in height and 100 mm in diameter. Experimental results showed that the concrete mixture consisting of 80% cement and 20% GGBFS as binders, along with lightweight expanded clay aggregate as coarse aggregate and vermiculite as the fine aggregate, exhibits the highest compressive strength compared to other lightweight concrete mixtures.

Abstract

Aims: This study investigates the groundwater quality in North Jakarta. Methodology and results: The groundwater data from thirty-one sampling sites were analyzed for physical and chemical parameters such as total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, turbidity, nitrate (NO3), sulfate (SO4), chloride (Cl), manganese (Mn), fluoride (F), and iron (Fe). Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Spearman’s correlation matrix were utilized to evaluate the contamination sources. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: The findings reveal significant variability in chloride and total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations, while fluoride levels remained stable. Strong correlations were found between TDS and chloride, as well as, turbidity and iron, suggesting contamination from seawater intrusion and industrial activities. PCA identified four key components explaining 77% of the total variance. The first component, dominated by TDS, turbidity, iron, and chlorine, indicates ongoing seawater infiltration in the coastal aquifer. The second component, associated with turbidity, nitrate, and fluoride, indicates contamination from human activities. This study shows the value of multivariate statistical techniques like PCA, in assessing groundwater quality. The correlation matrix further confirms the influence of seawater on groundwater salinity and the presence of heavy metals, possibly due to soil disturbance. Moreover, there is an influence of geological and geographical factors, particularly the excessive groundwater extraction leading to seawater intrusion and groundwater quality deterioration.

Abstract

Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is a coastal city shaped by geological and environmental processes over the past two million years of the Quaternary Period. The Jakarta Plain was formed by a mix of land sediments from the Cisadane and Citarum Rivers and marine sediments from the Java Sea. The southern region is a volcanic highland, while the city lies on lowlands with elevations ranging from 0 to 40 meters above sea level. Aims: to investigate the geological origin and sedimentary structure of the Jakarta Plain as a bay city situated between two major river deltas and to understand the implications of its geological development for spatial planning, environmental management, groundwater utilization, land subsidence, flood control, and coastal resource management, especially in the Jakarta Bay area, which features coral reef island ecosystems. Methodology and results: the research was conducted through field observations of geological outcrops and coral reef islands in Jakarta Bay, complemented by secondary data sources. The results indicate that the plain is filled by alternating layers of terrestrial and marine sediments, with strong geological connections to the surrounding Bodetabek region (Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi). Conclusion, significance, and impact study: The study concludes that a thorough understanding of Jakarta’s sedimentary history is essential for mitigating geological risks and supporting sustainable urban development. Furthermore, Jakarta Bay’s coral reef islands hold considerable potential for tourism, underscoring the importance of integrated coastal and environmental planning based on sound geological insight.

Abstract

Water treatment plants (WTP) in Indonesia generally use a physical-chemical process that generates a massive volume of sludge as waste. This sludge is typically discharged into the river without sufficient treatment due to land availability and/or treatment cost constraints. Aim: This study aimed to recycle the alum sludge from a drinking water treatment plant as an adsorbent for removing dye from wastewater. Methodology and results: Alum sludge was activated by several methods including calcination at 400oC and 600oC (AS-CAL400 and AS-CAL600), gelation (AS-GEL), synthesis of TiO2-alum sludge composites (TiO2@AS), and synthesis of ZnCl2-alum sludge composites (ZnCl2@AS). The adsorbents were characterized by SEM-EDS, XRF, BET, and pHPZC. The adsorption assays were carried out in a batch system and used synthetic wastewater containing Rhodamine-B dye as a model contaminant. The result shows that the highest dye removal of up to 87% was obtained using ZnCl2@AS adsorbent, contact time of 2 hours, the adsorbent concentration of 3 g/L, initial dye concentration of 50 mg/L, and pH 2. Conclusion, significance and impact study: The conclusion shows that recycled alum sludge, especially when activated with ZnCl₂, is highly effective for removing Rhodamine B dye from wastewater. It achieved 87% removal efficiency and 26 mg/g adsorption capacity under optimal conditions. The adsorbent has a rough surface with a 128.60 m²/g area, and its adsorption behavior follows the Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics. Further research including long-term use, and application in real dye wastewater should be conducted to evaluate the feasibility of this adsorbent.

Abstract

Water pollution remains a critical environmental issue, necessitating efficient treatment technologies, among which, coagulation is still widely applied due to its effectiveness in removing colloidal particles and organic pollutants. Inorganic coagulants remain a preferred coagulant despite drawbacks such as excessive sludge formation and long settling times. To address these limitations, the integration of magnetic nanoparticles to form magnetic coagulants has emerged as a promising strategy. Aims: This study was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the FeCl3 - magnetite (Fe3O4) combination as a magnetic coagulant for the removal of Congo red from synthetic wastewater. Methodology and results: The influence of key parameters, including pH (3-8), coagulant dose (4-44 mL/L), magnetite dose (0-200 mg/L), and initial dye concentration (50-100 mg/L), was systematically evaluated. Coagulation experiment was done by using a standard jar test apparatus.              The settling kinetic was evaluated by using pseudo-first and second-order kinetic model. Conclusion, significance and impact study: It was found that pH 6, coagulant dose of 20 mL/L FeCl3 0.5 M, and magnetite dose of 150 mg/L gave the best coagulation efficiency with 95% removal of 50 mg/L Congo red wastewater. Furthermore, the settling kinetics showed a good suitability with non-linear pseudo-second order-model kinetics. Results demonstrated that FeCl3-Fe3O4 as a magnetic coagulant significantly improved floc formation, settling efficiency, and overall pollutant removal.
