Abstract

Small-scale gold mining activities in Indonesia still use amalgamation techniques, which have the potential to cause mercury (Hg) pollution and affect the quality and number of microorganisms. Mercury-resistant bacteria can survive and adapt to mercury-exposed environments and can be developed as bioremediation agents. The bioremediation activity of these bacteria can be increased through immobilization using biochar. The results of observations of physicochemical qualities in three samples in the mining area, showed significant differences. The TOC in the rhizosphere soil sample of Calliandra calothyrsus L. showed the significantly highest value at 14.5%, and the pH of the three samples indicated acidity and exhibited no difference (p<0.05). The highest concentration measured in the tailing sample was 9.9 ng/g (p<0.05). The number of heterotrophic bacteria in the rhizosphere soil was the highest at 7.2 × 108 CFU/g. On the other hand, the number of mercury-resistant bacteria in the tailing sample showed the highest value of 6.3 × 103 CFU/g. In the selection based on the toxicity profile of 30 mercury-resistant bacteria obtained, the highest results were observed in the LMP1B5 bacterial isolate from the river sediment, with 50% effective concentration (EC50) and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 225 and 250 mg/L, respectively. Polyphasic identification based on phenotypic and genotypic characteristics using the 16S rRNA gene showed that the bacterial isolate was identified as Escherichia fergusonii. The growth and mercury removal activity of E. fergusonii LMP1B5 increased by 21% and 52%, respectively, after the immobilization with biochar. Thus, immobilized E. fergusonii LMP1B5 was effective in removing mercury pollutants.

Abstract

Traditional gold mining activities altered the environmental structure of the Mandor Subwatershed significantly. The expansion of critical land in the Mandor Subwatershed causes flooding due to the lack of water catchment areas. The purpose of this study was to identify the impact of traditional gold mining on land use change in the Mandor Subwatershed. The research was conducted with a spatial analysis approach using Landsat multitemporal images from 2002, 2013, and 2022, followed by a field survey. A comparison of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) methods was used to determine the changing process of vegetation density. The accuracy of vegetation index analysis indicated that the EVI method was more accurate for identifying vegetation density than the NDVI method. Land use change from 2002 to 2022 was dominated by an increase in the land area devoted to mining and oil palm plantations. The impact of this traditional gold mining has led to significant deforestation and land degradation over the past 20 years in the Mandor Subwatershed. This affects the condition of the surrounding environment as well as human health.

Abstract

The electrokinetic remediation method can function as a primary or secondary technology and can be applied in conjunction with other physical and biological methods, such as soil washing, phytoremediation, and bioremediation. Environmental impacts arising from the electrokinetic remediation process can be determined using life cycle assessment analysis (LCA) or other tools. This study compared the conventional electrokinetic remediation strategy with two hybrid strategies: electrokinetic-phytoremediation (EKR-Phyto) and electrokinetic-bioremediation (EKR-Bio). The environmental performance of the three strategies is then tested through LCA analysis. The database used was The Ecoinvent, and the freeware software used during the inventory stage was OpenLCA. The impact assessment stage was used in the Recipe I (2016) midpoints, Available Water Remaining (AWARE) midpoint, Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change (IPCC) midpoint (2003), UNEP Society of Environmental Toxicology (USEtox) midpoint, and cumulative energy demand midpoint. The significance of the analysis results was not obtained for the GWP parameter but for the freshwater eutrophication parameter. Among the three strategies, the EKR-Phyto strategy showed the highest significance in eutrophication but the lowest significance in land change. Substitution of chemical fertilizers into natural fertilizers in the EKR-Phyto strategy can be an opportunity for environmental sustainability. The highest impact for ecological analysis of the three strategies was EKR-Phyto in terms of GWP, the sum of primary energy, Acidification Potential (AP), and Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential (POCP).

Abstract

Huge ex-coal mining land provides the soil for crop development, yet soil improvement is required. Fertilizer and soil organic matter application and liming are standard practices to improve soil productivity. The integrated crop and land management (ICLM) package offers alternative technology to increase growth and crop yield. This study aimed to evaluate an ICLM technological package to improve sweet sorghum growth and production in the ex-coal mining land. The sweet sorghum of Bioguma 1 Agritan variety was used as the indicator crop. The ICLM was composed of mixed organic fertilizers (1,000 kg granule organic fertilizer ha-1, 10 kg Procal soil amendment ha-1, 10 kg Kayabio biofertilizer ha-1, and 5 kg NPK fertilizer    ha-1), mixed inorganic fertilizers (300 kg NPK ha-1, 50 kg Urea ha-1, 10 kg Procal soil amendment ha-1, and 10 kg Kayabio biofertilizer ha-1), and local bio-activators. The field trial used a group-randomized design with four frequencies of bio-activator application and five replications. Mixed organic fertilizer was used to cover the planting holes, where previously, the seed was soaked by a bio-activator and put into holes. The mixed fertilizer was applied to a 14-day-old plant using the hole punch method (tugal). Results of this study showed that local bio-activator significantly affected the sorghum growth and yield. The best frequency of bio-activator application was three times spraying. ICLM are prospective technology to improve soil condition, crop growth, and crop yield in ex-coal mining land.

Abstract

The pastoralists of Gujii have faced numerous risks, with their pastoralism system facing serious challenges. With the technically inconsistent and timely unmanaged interventions, several pastoral households are facing unreserved challenges. As a result, the future of pastoralists appears to be in great danger. The objective of this study is to investigate the ongoing challenges of Gujii pastoralism, as well as the fate of pastoralists in southern Ethiopia who are suffering from unrelenting drought. Ethiopian Meteorological Agency provided monthly rainfall and temperature data from 1986 to 2016. A household survey was conducted with 340 household heads randomly chosen from the study area to examine the challenges of the pastoralists have been facing. Moreover, a key informant interview and a focus group discussion were employed to collect qualitative data. Each watershed unit held one round of focus group discussions, with an average of 7-10 participants. The coefficient of variation (CV) was used to detect the temporal variability of seasonal rainfall and temperature. To detect trends, the Mann Kendall (MK) and Sen's slope estimator were used to determine the trends and magnitude of the change.  Political and tenure insecurity seriously affected the pastoral system in different ways. Autumn and spring had high variability in rainfall, with CV = 48.76% and 32.43%, respectively. Both winter and spring temperatures show a significant increase at (a = 0.1). Climate variability has made the already fragile pastoral households even more vulnerable. Pastoralist’s future would be difficult with all of these problems, and its resilience would be doubtful. As a result, in order to ensure the pastoral's long-term survivability, the government.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries in the world that is frequently affected by floods. Flood disasters can have various negative impacts and therefore need to be analyzed to determine prevention and mitigation measures. This study examined land cover change, flood detection, and flood distribution using multitemporal Sentinel-1 and Landsat-8 satellite imagery in the Barito watershed. A combination of change detection and the application of the Otsu algorithm was used to detect floodplains from Sentinel-1 imagery. Land use/land cover (LULC) changes are detected using a combination of change detection and machine learning in the form of a random forest algorithm. The overlay technique was used to analyze the distribution of floodplains. In this study, the floodplain in the study area was mapped to 109,623 ha. The change detection method detects a decrease in the areas of primary forest, secondary forest, fields, rice fields, shrubs and ponds, respectively, by 13,020 ha, 116,235 ha, 259 ha, 146,696 ha, 47,308 ha, and 9,601 ha. Settlements, bare land, plantations and water bodies increase by 14,879 ha, 64,830 ha, 218,916 ha, and 34,768 ha, respectively. Flooding was mainly found in the classes of rice fields, water bodies and primary forests.

Abstract

The high risk of mercury pollution in the Ratai watershed due to artisanal and small-scale gold mine activities in Pesawaran District, Lampung, Indonesia, was evaluated. Studies are needed to improve the understanding of the effect of heavy metal pollution, especially mercury (Hg), in soil and river water along the watershed because of erosion. The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) integrated with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) model was used to analyze the transport of mercury (Hg) from nonpoint source pollution loads to the Way Ratai River using rainfall-based erosion. Soils and river water samplings were conducted in 2020. Biophysical conditions, the land cover, and the rainfall data of the Ratai watershed were also taken into account. The results indicated that Hg concentrations in the soil and the river water were high, ranging from 0.26-28.9 mg L-1 and from 0.08-14.1 mg L-1, respectively. The reason for the high Hg contents in the soils and the river waters was the high erosion rate in the watershed. As the study area was characterized by high rainfall erosivity and low to high soil erodibility, the erosion-caused Hg contamination in soil and water can be significant if no conservation strategies are developed.

Abstract

Open pit mining is an extensively-used method in Indonesian coal mining. This method is characterized by the formation of mine void at the end of life-of-mine (LOM) due to insufficient material to backfill the mine-out areas. Mine voids are legally accepted as one of mine closure options and categorized as “Reklamasi Bentuk Lain” - a miscellaneous reclamation option (Decree of Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources/KepMen ESDM No.1827, 2018), However, unmanageable voids will exert negative impacts. The identification and mapping of mine voids spatially are imperative to give stakeholders ample information to construct viable mine voids management and benefit all stakeholders. In this research, Sentinel 2 satellite image data is used for land monitoring so that void can be mapped based on land cover classification. The land cover classification was carried out based on the Object-based Image Analysis (OBIA) method. This method has a good level of accuracy, ranging from 86.1 to 96.4%. Based on the land cover classification, potential voids are analyzed based on their shape, where potential voids have elongation values of 0.2-1.0 and circularity of 0.1-0.8. In addition, potential voids are analyzed based on the location where they are found (referred to as the Mining License Area/WIUP data). In 2018 there were 40 potential voids inside WIUP and 5 potential voids outside WIUP, while in 2020, 62 potential voids inside WIUP and 8 potential voids outside WIUP were identified in the study area. The final result of potential mine void, i.e. mine void-1 could not further be distinguished between mine sumps, voids, or mine ponds without additional data and analysis. On the other hand, mine void-2 could not be further assigned as natural water bodies or mine void from illegal activities. Subsequent studies using more elaborated data, processes, and analysis are important, to enhance the accuracy of void mapping using satellite images.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of soil amendment and phosphorus fertilizer application techniques on the chemical properties of dry land Vertisols, P absorption efficiency by maize and maize yield. The study was conducted on farmer's land located in Noelbaki Village, Central Kupang District, Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The study was conducted during two planting seasons, namely the rainy season 2020/2021 (PS-1) and the dry season 2021 (PS-2). The soil used in this experiment was included in the degraded Vertisols. This study used a split-plot design with three replications. The main plot was the type of organic soil-amendment material, and the subplot was the technique (dose and stage) of applying phosphorus fertilizer sourced from SP-36. The results showed that organic soil amendment and phosphorus fertilizer application techniques could improve soil chemical properties, P uptake, P absorption efficiency and maize yield in Vertisols until the second planting season. In the long term, the combination of maize stover biochar and the technique of applying phosphorus fertilizer (P3-T2) significantly increased the P uptake by 32.31 kg ha-1 (PS-1) and 31.23 kg ha-1 (PS-2), the P absorption efficiency by 28.65% (PS-1) and 27.75% (PS-2). The P3-T2 treatment gave maize yields of 6.92 t ha-1 (PS-1) and 6.92 t ha-1 (PS-2), which were higher than those of other treatments.

Abstract

Manganese (Mn) is one of the heavy metals found in industrial wastewater, such as acid mine drainage, which has caused serious environmental problems worldwide. This equilibrium study was carried out to determine the maximum capacity of natural zeolite towards manganese removal from made aqueous solution as affected by zeolite quantity, particle size, activation temperature, and initial pH of the solution. The natural zeolites obtained from Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia, were crushed and filtered into three groups of diameters: <0.5, 1-2, and 2-4 mm. Each group was divided into two sub-groups, one sub-group was heated in a muffle furnace at 250 oC for two hours, and the other sub-group was left at room temperature (25 oC). This experiment consisted of two sections. Section one was physical and chemical characterizations of the natural zeolite, using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction, and X-Ray Fluorescence techniques. The second section was equilibrium studies using two series of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, and 5 g of natural zeolites of each sub-groups, then respectively added with 50 mL of a solution containing 50 ppm Mn having pH of 5.5 and 7.0. All suspensions were shaken for 24 h and filtered. The filtrates were red for total dissolved Mn using Atomic Adsorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Freundlich and Langmuir isothermic models were fitted to the collected data to describe the adsorptive behaviour of Mn toward natural zeolites. Data showed that 0.5 g of natural zeolite had removed the remarkably highest Mn from the solution, regardless of the size of the particles, thermal treatment, and initial solution pH. The smallest size of zeolite particle and higher initial solution pH tended to increase the adsorptive capacity of the natural zeolite toward Mn. The Freundlich isothermic model fitted better to Mn adsorption behaviour than the Langmuir model.
