Ex-mining pond water is widely used for the daily needs of the people these days, such as bathing, washing, and even drinking. Over time, it turns out that coal mine acid water has polluted the environment. The use of membrane technology to produce water that meets drinking water quality standards by the Minister of Health Regulation No. 492 of 2010 can be a solution to this problem. The NF270 membrane is a membrane process between reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration, which has a lower flux and operating pressure below 0.2-1.53 Mpa compared to reverse osmosis. Membrane NF270 is used for the reclamation of wastewater, water purification and softening, seawater desalination, and others. Its high rejection of organic molecules with a molecular weight of 200-2000 Da ions and multivalent can remove suspended solids, natural organic matter, bacteria, viruses, salts, and divalent ions contained in water, including coal mine acid water. The purpose of treating acid mine drainage with the NF270 membrane is to remove COD, TSS, TDS, and Fe metals. The NF270 membrane was used in this study to treat the coal mine acid water of PT. Bukit Asam. The performance of the NF270 process was assessed from the effect of pressure (4, 5, and 6 bar) on the flux and rejection rate of each parameter in a single solution, mixed and aqueous coal mine acid solution. The optimum pressure of the NF270 membrane for all parameters was 6 bar. This optimum pressure was then used to compare the phenomenon of flux that occurred and the level of rejection produced in the original sample of coal mine acid water. In the original coal mine acid water, there was a significant decrease in flux due to fouling deposition on the membrane surface. This phenomenon of decreasing flux was caused by fouling and polarization concentration. The rejection rates produced for the parameters of COD, TSS, TDS, and Fe with NF270 membranes were 56.4-93.1%; 78.5-100%; 43-69.3%; 67-100% respectively. Treated coal mine acid water using NF270 membrane technology can be used as drinking water that meets the standards of the Indonesian Ministry of Health Regulation. Thus, NF270 membrane technology can be used to process coal mine acid water into environmentally friendly drinking water.

Coal mining in Indonesia is mostly applied by an open pit system which causes the rocks in the mining location to be exposed to the surface, so that it will be easy to react with air and water directly. The high content of sulphide minerals such as pyrite and marcasite in coal mining site, has the potential to produce mine acid water. Mine acid water causes environmental pollution and a threat to aquatic and soil ecosystems by increasing the concentration of other heavy metal ions. This study aims to identify the mineral content of the overburden rock layers to determine the type of sulfide minerals forming acid mine and neutralizing minerals in rocks. The methods used in this study are field investigations, mineralogical content analysis, geochemical characteristics and measured stratigraphic to evaluate mineralogical content, geochemical characteristics and depositional environmental facies of overburden and underburden rocks from the Pit 3000 coal seam. The results showed that overburden rocks were composed by claystone with the thickness ranges 1.60 m – 5.15 m, whereas underburden rocks are characterized by diverse lithology such as claystone, siltstone and sandstone with the thickness ranges from 0.20 m – 4.50 m. Based on geochemical analysis on 18 overburden rock samples, it is known that overburden layers have characteristics that are dominated by Non Acid Forming (NAF) rocks with 83% NAF, 11% Potential Acid Forming (PAF) and 6% uncertain. The characteristics of the underburden layer are dominated by PAF rocks with 45% PAF, 19% NAF and 36% uncertain.

Jambi is one of the provinces in Indonesia that has an abundance coal potential. One of the companies that holds the Mining-Business License (IUP) for Coal mining production and operations is PT. XYZ, which is chosen to be the source of samples for this research. One of the negative impacts caused by coal mining activities is the wastewater emerge from both mining and stockpile activities. Unprocessed wastewater can pollute the environment, particularly the surface water and ground water around the mining site. Materials utilized in managing coal mine wastewater in this research are bentonite (natural and activated) and limestone from clamshells. Bentonite is expected to be able to absorb TSS, Fe, Mn and Hg values, while clamshells to increase the pH value in coal mine wastewater. This research aims to determine the ability of clamshell bentonite and limestone in processing coal mine wastewater. The samples in this research are amounted to 19 consisting of 1 control sample and 18 treatment samples. The treatments are made in 6 mass variations and 3 variations of contact time. A combination of 1 gram of material is contacted with 250 ml of coal mine wastewater. The characteristics of coal mine wastewater from PT. XYZ based on the samples taken are as follows: pH 4,40, TSS 66 mg/l, Fe 0,998 mg/l, Mn 7,340 mg/l, dan Hg 0,00076 mg/l. The results of this research show that the compilation of bentonite and limestone from clamshells is able to reduce the parameters of coal mine wastewater. The absorption efficiency of the compilation of bentonite and limestone in decreasing the parameters of coal mine wastewater has varied values with the average of: pH 68,62%, TSS 90,91%, Fe 97,60%, Mn 26,71%, and Hg 96,05%. Mass variations and contact time influence the decrease in coal mine wastewater parameters. The treatment on variations of 0.75 grams of activated clamshell bentonite and 0.25 grams of clamshell limestone with 30 minutes contact time is the treatment that produces wastewater that meets the environmental quality standards, which are pH 7,16 from 6 – 9 of environmental quality standards value, TSS 6 mg/l from 400 mg/l of environmental quality standards value, Fe < 0,02 mg/l from 7 mg/l of environmental quality standards value, and Hg < 0,00003 mg/l from 0,002 mg/l of environmental quality standards value. With good management, it is expected that the impacts caused by waste water from coal mining can be minimized in order to achieve environmentally friendly mining activities

Velika plaža (Ulcinj, Montenegro) is the largest sandy beach along the coast of the eastern Adriatic that still has well-developed sand-dune vegetation. Although the characterization of the flora and vegetation of Velika plaža has been addressed by many authors, knowledge on its vegetation remained poor. We made a phytosociological study of sand beach vegetation comprising both dunal and wetland areas to provide a comprehensive survey of sand dune vegetation and habitat typology of Velika plaža. Based on 149 relevés (both from literature and recent field work), and with numerical classification (Flexible beta) and ordination (Non-metric multidimensional scaling) our results show that the vegetation of Velika plaža is much more diverse than previously known. Altogether, 19 plant communities from 6 vegetation classes were identified. Among them we described two new associations: Cuscuto cesatianae-Phyletum nodiflorae and Onobrychido caput-galli-Vulpietum fasciculatae.

In the current work, the characterization of novel chitosan/silica nanoparticle/nisin films with the addition of nisin as an antimicrobial technique for blueberry preservation during storage is investigated. Chitosan/Silica Nanoparticle/N (CH-SN-N) films presented a stable suspension as the surface loads (45.9 mV) and the distribution was considered broad (0.62). The result shows that the pH value was increased gradually with the addition of nisin to 4.12, while the turbidity was the highest at 0.39. The content of the insoluble matter and contact angle were the highest for the Chitosan/Silica Nanoparticle (CH-SN) film at 5.68%. The use of nano-materials in chitosan films decreased the material ductility, reduced the tensile strength and elongation-at-break of the membrane. The coated blueberries with Chitosan/Silica Nanoparticle/N films reported the lowest microbial contamination counts at 2.82 log CFU/g followed by Chitosan/Silica Nanoparticle at 3.73 and 3.58 log CFU/g for the aerobic bacteria, molds, and yeasts population, respectively. It was observed that (CH) film extracted 94 regions with an average size of 449.10, at the same time (CH-SN) film extracted 169 regions with an average size of 130.53. The (CH-SN-N) film presented the best result at 5.19%. It could be observed that the size of the total region of the fruit for the (CH) case was the smallest (1663 pixels), which implied that the fruit lost moisture content. As a conclusion, (CH-SN-N) film is recommended for blueberry preservation to prolong the shelf-life during storage.

The following article analyzes the effectiveness of directional hydraulic fracturing (DHF) as a method of rock burst prevention, used in black coal mining with a longwall system. In order to define changes in seismic activity due to DHF at the “Rydułtowy” Black Coal Mine (Upper Silesia, Poland), observations were made regarding the seismic activity of the rock mass during coal mining with a longwall system using roof layers collapse. The seismic activity was recorded in the area of the longwall itself, where, on a part of the runway, the rock mass was expanded before the face of the wall by interrupting the continuity of the rock layers using DHF. The following article presents measurements in the form of the number and the shock energy in the area of the observed longwall, which took place before and after the use of DHF. The second part of the article unveils the results of numerical modeling using the discrete element method, allowing to track the formation of goafs for the variant that does not take DHF into consideration, as well as with modeled fractures tracing DHF carried out in accordance with the technology used at “Rydułtowy” coal mine.
