Abstract

The rehabilitation of abandoned mines begins with the characterization and ranking of these mines. Based on this, countries, organizations, and individual researchers have developed tools for ranking abandoned mines for rehabilitation. This paper comments on the issues of abandoned mines which include their definition and the problems they possess. It then critically examines the criteria used by different tools to prioritize the rehabilitation of abandoned mines. It showed that there is a sharp increase in the number of academic tools developed for the ranking of abandoned mines over the years. These tools demonstrated how the parameters disregarded in official ranking tools can rank the abandoned mines for rehabilitation. The paper recommends that the main issues of abandoned mines and their rehabilitation be part of the criteria of ranking these mines for rehabilitation. The inclusion of such parameters in the ranking criteria promises to improve the accuracy of the ranking process. It will go a long way in ensuring that the ranking tools provide the correct advice on what strategies can be used to rehabilitate these mines.

Abstract

This study aimed at determining the community structure and diversity of soil bacteria in several land-use changes as an environmental bioindicator. This research was conducted in areas of intensive agriculture (PI), monoculture abandoned old-coffee plantation (KTT), mixed-young coffee plantation (HLS), and secondary forest/reference site (RS) in UB Forest (UBF) area, Malang, Indonesia. Soil samples were taken as a composite at three different points in each area using a soil ring at a depth of 0-20 cm. The 16S rRNA gene was used to determine the community structure, species richness, diversity, and ecological index (Chao1, Shannon, Simpson, ACE) of soil bacteria using the NGS approach. Statistical data were analysed using R and QIIME software. The community structure of soil bacteria at the phylum level displayed the same pattern in all study sites where Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi were the dominant groups. Conversely, the bacterial composition showed differences between study sites at the genus level. Alpha diversity in agricultural areas (PI, KTT, and HLS) was higher than forest area (RS), but it was not followed by bacterial beta diversity. The distinct soil bacteria composition and diversity were influenced by the physicochemical of soil properties in the studied area. Therefore, several bacterial taxa suggested being a potential bioindicator of forest soil degradation due to land-use change in this study. Soil bacterial indicators can be utilized to evaluate or monitor alteration of soil quality in terms of forest restoration or rehabilitation.

Abstract

Sand mining activities in Pasir Sakti District, East Lampung Regency, have changed the landscape and the allotment of land around it. The former sand mining area now becomes large puddles that are not utilized. This study aimed to analyze the suitability of water quality in ex-sand mining areas for tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) culture. Observations were carried out at three stations in January-October 2019. Water quality measurements were performed to check water depth, clarity, temperature, current, dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, nitrate, phosphate, iron, sulfate, and phytoplankton density. Analysis of suitability for aquaculture was carried out using weighting and scoring methods. Based on the results of the suitability analysis, the scoring result of the sand mining land for O.niloticus culture was in the range of 64% -68%. This score is classified as marginally suitable. The parameters with low scores are clarity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, ammonia, phosphate, and iron (Fe) concentration parameters. Meanwhile, salinity, nitrate, sulfate, and phytoplankton density indicate conditions that are suitable for aquaculture. Therefore, severe treatment is needed to improve water quality to make it ideal for O.niloticus culture.

Abstract

Due to the massive amounts of freshwater consumed in dairy industries, as a result, thousands of liters of wastewater were produced as one liter of milk produces 10 liters of wastewater which represents a major threat to the surrounding environment and aquatic life. The application of a promising technology called “effective microorganism (EM)” was the key solution due to its low operating cost, low technology, and eco-friendly condition. Three different effective microorganisms were used, such as Bacillus bacteria (EM1), Staphylococcus bacteria (EM2), and EM stoste + Molasses (EM3). EM1 and EM2 were isolated from the dairy wastewater by using streaking for isolation on an agar plate process, while EM3 was prepared by mixing 12 % EM stoste, 6% molasses, and 82% distilled water. A laboratory pilot consists of aeration and final settling tanks, both tanks followed by an activated carbon filter. Four trials were performed, the first trial was without any EM, the second trial was adding EM1 with a dose of 50 ml to the aeration tank, the third trial was EM2 with a dose of 50 ml to the aeration tank, finally adding EM3 with a dose of 30 ml to the aeration tank. Results showed that using Bacillus bacteria (EM1) was the most effective trial as it was effective in reducing TSS (total suspended solids), BOD (biological oxygen demand), COD (chemical oxygen demand), TN (total nitrogen), and TP (total phosphorous) concentrations by removal efficiency of 93%, 96.2%, 95.9%, 94%, and 64%, respectively which were below the limitations of the Egyptian code for reuse for irrigation purposes.

Abstract

This paper deals with the evaluation of rehabilitation of spoils depositions of asbestos mine MABE, Kozani, in northern Greece, eight years after restoration works. In order to succeed this, we monitored all the restoration actions during the period of restoration works, as well as during the post-restoration period of eight years after the end of restoration works. The evaluation showed that the mining area subjected to restoration is now characterized, eight years after restoration, by high land stabilization, satisfactory woody vegetation cover, low erosion risk, low concentration of asbestos fibres in the air and water, and furthermore it was aesthetically integrated in the surrounding landscape. Even though the great difficulties due to the huge pile of spoils depositions that had been created during mining, the selection of the specific restoration actions greatly contributed to the achievement of a sustainable post-mining environment. The suitable land transformation, and the satisfactory establishment of forest vegetation created a safe from asbestos fibres environment, and for a sustainable future land use of the previous mine area as forest, which in many cases is the most appropriate post-mining use for contaminated mining areas.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to study the growth response of pokem (Setaria italica), which was inoculated by the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) from the tailings area. The method used in this research was a completely randomized design of factorial pattern. The factors consisted of AMF types (M)(M0: non-mycorrhizal, M1: Claroideoglomus etunicatum BGR, M2: C. lamellosum B1107S, M3: C. etunicatum L3101D), and inoculum density (I) (I: 5 g, II: 10 g per pot of planting media) with 8 replicates. The source of inoculum C. lamellosum B1107S and C. etunicatum L3101D originated from tailings in the gold mining area of Timika. The results showed that inoculation of C. etunicatum L3101D could increase the plant growth better than C. etunicatum BGR and C. lamellosum B1107S. Significant growth occurred on the parameters of the height of the plants, leaf area, dry weight and fresh weight of the plants, relative growth rate, and phosphorus absorption by the plants. The amount of nitrogen tended to decrease with AMF treatment, but it was not significant, whereas K has insiginificantly increased. The propagule density treatment increased plant growth on all parameters. The best growth occurred if the type C. etunicatum L3101D was inoculated with 10 g of propagule per planting media.

Abstract

Mining activities specifically Coal Mining have been long testified to be one of the major contributing factors to environmental crisis, with Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) as one of the leading indicators. The purpose of this study was to assess the potential of AMD generation from neutralized coal mining tailings. In order to achieve the ultimate objective of the study, analysis of chemical composition and mineral content of the tailings using XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) and XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) respectively, lastly, a static analysis such as ABA (Acid Base Accounting) and TCLP (Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure) were also conducted. The results have shown that the studied tailing samples had relatively higher Acid Potential (19 kg CaCO3/t to 20 kg CaCO3/t) versus the Neutralizing Potential (NP) (14 kg CaCO3/t to 18 kg CaCO3/t). It was also found that the Net Neutralizing Potential Ratio (NNPR) is less than zero (-1.5 kg CaCO3/t to -5.40 kg CaCO3/t which indicates that the tailings have the potential to generate acid. The low concentration of CaO indicates acidic potential of the samples because CaO is a buffering mineral. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that Mine Tailings has the potential to generate acid; therefore, the contamination to the nearby watercourses is extremely possible if necessary remedial actions should be considered.

Abstract

Rice has become the leading food commodity in Indonesia, with total production reached +54.60 million tons in 2019. However, the production tended to decrease by around 8% from 2018 to 2019, while the rice consumption increased by +1.53 tons. This study aims to develop a rice production estimation model using the soil-vegetation index transformation (MSAVI and SAVI) and soil physical properties, which has the advantage of being faster, cheaper, and more accurate than conventional methods. The soil physical properties were taken based on soil mapping units and analyzed with soil physical parameters. The results showed strong relationships between rice productivity - soil physical characteristics and rice productivity – MSAVI and EVI with r values of 0.97, 0.83, and 0.74, respectively. The soil physical properties have a better coefficient of determination and accuracy than soil-vegetation index. The prediction model of rice production by soil physical properties is formulated inward γ = -8.96+0.01 (Top Soil Sand) + 0.01 (Top Soil Silt) + 6.28 (Bulk Density) - 14.07 (Penetration) - 0.13 (Sub Soil Permeability). There is no difference in the productivity value between model and laboratory analysis result. These results indicate that the rice yield prediction model can be used for estimation purposes.
