The carbon isotope can be used to evaluate volcanism phenomenon of volcano. The study of carbon isotope of CO2 and CH4 was carried out in western Dieng Plateau by mass-spectrometer. Before analysis, sampel was separated by gas chromatography using a Porapak-Q column and a FID (Flame Ionization Detector) detector. The gas was oxidized by copper oxide at 850oC before being ionized in mass-spectrometer for isotope analysis. The CO2 content in Candradimuka crater (-4.10 O/OO), indicated that the gas may be as volcanic gas. The other CO2 from Sumber and western Gua Jimat, had isotope value  of -10.05 and -12.07 O/OO, respectively, indicating contamination from crustal and subduction material. The carbon isotope of CH4 gas from Pancasan village was -63.42 O/OO, that may be categorized as biogenic gas.   Keywords: isotope, CO2, CH4, Dieng.

In this study, a procedure of determining the 13C isotope composition ([13C]/[12C]) in soil organic carbon (SOC) using an isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS) was developed. The procedure would be a useful approach in the studies on carbon sequestration that is of great concern among environmentalists worldwide nowadays. The procedure includes: drying, crushing, sifting and removing carbonate in soil samples before the analysis on the mass spectrometer. Results showed that the developed procedure gained a good repeatability of 0.21 ‰. The accuracy of the procedure waschecked by analyzing a surrogate soil sample, a mixture of soil with known δ13CSOC and IAEA-CH-3 cellulose standard.
