Abstract

Any laundry operation will discharge the waste water directly to the water surface, which can lead to pollution in the water. One method that can be used to treat laundry wastewater is a photocatalytic method with TiO2 (Titanium Dioxide) as an UV-assisted catalyst that is combined with a strong H2O2 oxidizer to produce OH (hydroxyl radical) to oxidize pollutants. The study aims to determine the differences in pH, TSS, BOD, COD, and Phosphate separation values with combination of TiO2 and H2O2 doses with variations in UV exposure time for 30, 60, and 90 minutes. A good quality TSS level obtained in the 60th minute with a dose of 1 g TiO2 and in combination with 10 ml H2O2 can reduce TSS levels by 20 mg/l from the initial TSS with a residual weight of 180 mg/L. A decrease in the quality COD level at a 90 minute clearance time with a dosage of 1 gr TiO2, in a combination of 10 ml H2O2, can reduce the COD levels by 32.5 mg/ l from the original COD value of 89.1 mg/l. A reduction in the phosphate level achieved at the cleaning time of 30 minutes at a combined dose of 4 gr TiO2 in a 40 ml combination, can lower the phosphatic level by 0.05 mg /l from the starting value of 5.61 mg/l and already meet the quality standard of laundry waste water.

Abstract

Essential oils are oils whose components are generally volatile and are obtained from various types of plants and are the largest demand commodity in marketing circles. One of the essential oil-producing plants, namely lime (C. aurantifolia) and kaffir lime (C. hystrix) so that they are widely used by industry as raw materials for making medicines, cosmetics, and perfumes because they contain various components in them. However, the community only uses the fruit as a spice for cooking and drinks, while the skin is thrown away so that it becomes waste. This study aims to determine the effect of the height of the growing location on the essential oil components of the fruit peels of C. aurantifolia and C. hystrix as measured using GC-MS. The sampling method was carried out by simple random sampling, which was taken from several trees randomly at an altitude range of 0-100, 400-500, and 1,200-1,300 masl. The extraction method used is steam-water distillation at 100°C for 6 hours. The results of GC-MS identification showed that the essential oil from the skin of C. aurantifolia fruit contains 3 main components, namely dl-Limonene, 2-β-Pinene, and γ-Terpinene and the highest component is obtained at an altitude range of 400-500 masl. Meanwhile, C. hystrix contains 5 main components in the form of 2-β-Pinene, Sabinene, dl-Limonene, Citronella, and β-Citronellol and the highest component is obtained at an altitude range of 0-100 masl. GC-MS analysis showed that the volatile oil components of the fruit peels of C. auratifolia and C. hystrix were affected by the altitude of the growing location including temperature and humidity.

Abstract

Indonesia is blessed with around 27.510 MWe of geothermal resources. Amongst the numbers, some resources are identified as small-scale geothermal resources. The development of small-scale geothermal resources is quite challenging either to government or private developers due to their low selling price that varies from USD 6.50 cent/kWh to USD 9.76 cent/kWh depending on the location and capacity. The challenges can be multiplied in the case of the electricity produced from a geothermal power plant that located isolated grid, where the electricity is unable to be transmitted to another load areas. Therefore, the electricity production will be limited to only serve the demand in the island that consequently will limit the revenue from electricity sales. This study analyzes the financial aspect of a binary geothermal power plant with gross installed capacity of 5 MW located in isolated island. The analysis shows the power plant will be financially feasible when the electricity selling price is over USD 30 cent/kWh that will generate 12% of IRR which is assumed as feasible target for this project. Furthermore, if environmental benefit is included the project can be feasible at lower selling price of USD 25 cent/kWh.

Abstract

Aceh has a great potential in coastal areas because Aceh has a large source of marine biota, especially seaweed. The coast that has great potential for seaweed growth is Ulee Lheue Beach. Ulee Lheue Beach is a tourist area and port, so it tends to be exposed to heavy metals. Seaweed can absorb heavy metals easily and is used as a bioindicator of environmental pollution. The aim of this research was to measure the heavy metal content of Cu and Zn from the green seaweeds Caulerpa taxifolia and Caulerpa racemosa. The research method was carried out using a hydrothermal analysis digestion process using a hydrothermal-microwave analysis tool for 30 minutes. Metal content was analyzed using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (SSA). The results showed that the levels of heavy metals of Zn and Cu in Caulerpa taxifolia seaweed were 11.05 and 3.65 ppm. Furthermore, the levels of heavy metals Zn and Cu in the seaweed Caulerpa racemosa were 18.46 and 12.26 ppm. It can be concluded that Caulerpa taxifolia and Caulerpa racemosa can absorb heavy metals.

Abstract

The presence of microplastics in aquatic sediments is a threat to biota that live in waters, especially fishes. This study aims to determine the presence of microplastics in sediments and Kuwe fish (Caranx sp) in the coastal waters of Gampong Jawa Banda Aceh. This research processes begins with sampling, sample preparation, identification of microplastics, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) testing to determine the type of polymer as the origin of the microplastics in the fish samples. Several types of microplastics that have been identified are fragments, fibers and films. The colors of the microplastics found were brown, transparent, black, blue and red. The abundance of microplastics found in sediment was 1630 particles/kg, while the abundance of microplastics found in fish, namely in the organs of the digestive tract and in the fish's body with an abundance of 975 particles/kg and 135 particles/kg respectively. The results of FT-IR analysis have verified several types of polymers such as Polypropylene (PP), Polystyrene (PS), Poly (methyl methacrylate), Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), Nylon, High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), and Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), with appropriate functional groups. The discovery of microplastics in the coastal waters of Gampong Jawa Banda Aceh indicates microplastic contamination. Therefore, preventive efforts are needed to reduce the abundance of microplastics in these waters.

Abstract

Watershed is a unity of ecosystem from upstream to downstream consisting of the main elements of soil, vegetation, water, and air. Watershed has an important function in sustainable community economic development. Changes in land use result in most of the rainwater flowing as surface water which directly or indirectly has caused land degradation. This study aims to identify the presence of high conservation value areas as providers of natural environmental services in the Krueng Peusangan watershed. This study used the HCV Toolkit Indonesia approach and SIG analysis with a tiered quantitative method of slope, soil type, land cover and averaged daily rainfall intensity. The results obtained showed that the Krueng Peusangan watershed has 40.54% of high conservation value areas as providers of natural environmental services, with 23.15% of water supply and flood control areas and 20.01% of erosion and sedimentation control areas. It also identified, 2.67% of the Krueng Peusangan watershed is water supply and flood control areas as well as erosion and sedimentation control areas. This research offers important information about areas providing natural environmental services to the central government, local governments, non-governmental organizations and communities to work together to answer the big challenges in managing the Krueng Peusangan watershed

Abstract

Microplastic pollution in water bodies is currently attracting attention worldwide due to its societal prevalence and long lifespan. It enters freshwater ecosystems through runoff, wastewater discharge, and atmospheric deposition in various colors, sizes (<5 mm), shapes, and polymer types. If microplastics are transported through the food chain, they can become harmful and have negative effects on aquatic ecosystems and human health. Due to the high correlation with human activities, urban areas are a significant source of microplastic emissions into water bodies. All these sources are related to the collection and discharge of drainage systems, which are important pathways for moving pollutants between land and water. The common way to remove solid waste, especially plastic waste in drainage, is using the traditional way by humans. However, this method takes a long time and is dangerous for humans due to exposure to an unhealthy work environment. Innovation is needed to reduce plastic waste pollution in urban drainage. The Waterwheel Drainage Cleaner (WDC) uses an air wheel mechanism that rotates using the flow potential of water. The WDC is equipped with filter arms that end on the conveyor. The conveyors are beneficial for moving waste from drainage to WDC tubes. The WDC framework can be applied to other multi-locations, such as rivers, reservoirs, and lakes. The WDC innovation is expected to reduce microplastic pollution in the aquatic environment, reduce drainage sedimentation, and increase community sanitation at a more cost and time-efficient rate.

Abstract

The area of Bundaran BNI 46 Simpang Jam in Banda Aceh is an area that is often crowded with motorized vehicles. Motor vehicles produce CO as their exhaust gas. Excessive levels of CO in the air can harm human health. CO can turn into CO2 in the air. Overrated CO2 in the environment can cause greenhouse gas effects and global warming. CO2 can be absorbed by plants for their use in the photosynthesis process. The absorption of CO2 for each vegetation is different starting from very high to low. This research is a quantitative study to determine the total absorption capacity of vegetation in the area of Bundaran BNI 46 Simpang Jam on CO2 emissions which was done on April 2020. Calculating vehicle emissions and vegetation absorption using manual counts method at peak hours and calculations based on literature. From the research, it is known that the total number of vehicles passing through the area is 3250 motorized vehicles/hour with total emissions of 7,343,017,347 Kg/year. The total absorption capacity of 351 vegetation in that area is 614,410.30 kg/year. Accordingly, the area's vegetation is unable to absorb CO2 emissions optimally. To optimize CO2 absorption, vegetation replacement must be carried out. The tree combinations that can be selected to absorb all of the area's CO2 emissions are 320 Trembesi, 326 Kasia, 340 Glondokan, 305 Kenanga and 215 Beringin.

Abstract

Mercury waste from unlicensed gold mining (PETI) is absorbed by the soil, so that the soil contains Mercury (Hg). This will cause environmental pollution. The Hg waste treatment method using the phytoremediation method has been able to bind Hg contained in the soil. However, phytoremediation of Hg waste from tailings soil using vetiver plants (Vetiveria zizanioides L.) has never been specifically studied. This study aims to determine the removal of Hg from soil contaminated with traditional gold mining tailings waste to determine the effect of Hg levels in the soil on the growth of Vetiveria zizanioides L. Vetiveria zizanioides L. plants in the soils that previously had heavy metal Hg as a pollutant with concentration variations of 1.8816 ppm and 1.9113 ppm and harvest variations of 7, 14, and 21 days. The results showed that Vetiveria zizanioides L. can accumulate Hg in the roots, soil, and leaves. The highest Hg accumulation in the roots of all types of concentration variations of 1.8816 ppm and 1.9113 ppm were 1.52 µg/g, 1.52 µg/g and 1.32 µg/g; 1.254 µg/g, 0.6813 µg/g and 0.59 µg/g on stems; while 1.02 µg/g, 0.49 µg/g and 0.04 µg/g on the soil. From the data that has been presented, it can be seen that the sample of Vetiveria zizanioides L. is able and effective in reducing the concentration levels of contaminants contained in tailings waste soil. The results of a simple linear regression test for Hg waste treatment showed that there was an effect of time/day on the decrease in the levels of the test parameters. The results indicate the use of Vetiveria zizanioides L has the potential to be used in the treatment of Hg-contaminated waste soil.

Abstract

The Jangkok River in Mataram City, Nusa Tenggara Barat, experiences severe pollution due to domestic and industrial waste. To monitor water quality in real-time, the Online Monitoring (ONLIMO) system has been implemented. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ONLIMO compared to laboratory analysis in terms of accuracy, time, and cost. Physical and chemical parameters such as BOD, COD, DO, Nitrite, Nitrate, pH, TDS, and turbidity were analyzed using the Pollution Index (IP) method based on the Decree of the Minister of Environment No. 115 of 2003. The results showed an average Ci/Lij value of 1.70 with a maximum IP of 115.97 from ONLIMO, while the laboratory analysis produced an IP of 98.26 with a maximum Ci/Lij of 138.9. Nitrite (11.15–14.35) and turbidity (6.55–9.74) were identified as dominant contributors to pollution. In terms of efficiency, ONLIMO proved faster, with real-time monitoring and lower operational costs compared to laboratory methods, which require sample collection and manual analysis. However, ONLIMO has limitations in detecting certain parameters such as BOD. Overall, ONLIMO is considered efficient and effective for monitoring the water quality of Jangkok River, with potential improvements through the integration of additional methods for more accurate and comprehensive results.
