Abstract The concentration of heavy metals (HMs) camium (Cd), cuprum (Cu), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) in sediments of Makassar Strait was investigated. We collected sediment samples from 28 research stations. Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) was used to measure HMs in all samples. This research aims to know the levels of HMs’ contamination and pollution in sediments. The analysis revealed that the concentration of all HMs is still low and inlined with the sediment standard guidelines, exception of Cu and Ni. In regards to the value of I_geo and PLI, sediment in the Makassar Strait is still normal for marine life, and sediment is included in unpolluted categories (PLI<1). The sources of HMs in this strait come from human activities in the land of Kalimantan and Sulawesi Island.

STUDI PENURUNAN KADAR LOGAM BESI (Fe) DAN LOGAM TEMBAGA (Cu) PADA AIR EMBUNG MENGGUNAKAN ADSORBEN NANOSILIKAABSTRAKPolusi limbah logam berat dalam air merupakan satu permasalahan lingkungan yang penting. Dalam mengatasi permasalahan tersebut dapat dilakukan purifikasi terhadap air tersebut. Metode yang dapat digunakan untuk purifikasi limbah sangat beragam salah satunya adalah absorpsi. Secara umum metode absorpsi telah banyak digunakan dalam purifikasi air limbah. Metode absorpsi dapat menurunkan kadar logam yang terlarut pada limbah. cair dengan cara menyerap logam-logam tersebut ke dalam permukaan absorbennya. Tujuan dilakukan penelitian ini adalah  untuk menurunkan konsentrasi logam besi (Fe) dan tembaga (Cu) menggunakan adsorben nanosilika. Penelitian ini menggunakan variabel bebas yaitu waktu pengadukan (20 menit, 40 menit, dan 60 menit). Hasil akhir filtrat air embung kemudian diukur absorbansinya menggunakan Spektrofotometer Serapan Atom. Berdasarkan hasil analisa menggunakan instrumen SSA diperoleh hasil bahwa tidak terjadi penurunan logam Fe maupun Cu. Dalam hal ini terjadi peningkatan konsentrasi dalam logam Fe maupun Cu, hal ini dikarenakan kurangnya waktu pengadukan dan pengaruh dari adsorben nanosilika.Kata Kunci: limbah, logam berat, nanosilika STUDY OF DECREASING METALS IRON (Fe) AND COPPER (Cu) ON EMBUNG WATER USE OF NANOSILICA ADSORBEN ABSTRACTHeavy waste pollution of heavy metals in the water is an important environment issue. To solve the problem, its can be purified the water. The methods that can be used for waste purification are very diverse, one of which is absorption. In general, the method of absorption has been widely used in wastewater purification. The absorption method can decrease dissolved metal content in the waste. liquid by absorbing the metals into the absorbent surface. Research has been conducted to reduce the concentration of iron (Fe) and copper (Cu) by using nanosilica adsorbent. This research used to independent variable that is stirring time (20 minutes, 40 minutes, and 60 minutes). The final result of filtrate embung water then measured its absorbance using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Based on the result of the analysis using SSA instrument, it is found that there is no decrease of Fe and Cu metals. There are several reasons for those problem such as due to lack of stirring time and the influence of nanosilica adsorbent.Keywords: Waste pollution, heavy metal, nanosilica

Marine water which has been polluted by heavy metals such as lead (Pb) from port activities can affect marine life, however several microorganisms are able to adapt in polluted waters due to their resistant capabilities. The research aimed to obtain isolates bacterial which are resistant to Pb and to test their resistant ability. Bacterial isolation was obtained from sediment and seawater taken in Paotere Port, Makassar. The isolation of the resistant bacteria was done using nutrient agar media which contained 10 ppm of Pb. The growth of the bacteria was initially observed macroscopically and microscopically to determine type of the colony. Resistant test for each type of isolate was done by inoculating them on nutrient broth media which contained different concentration of Pb: 5 ppm, 10 ppm, 15 ppm, 20 ppm, 25 ppm, and a control. The test resulted in eight different isolates, five isolates from sediment samples and three from seawater samples. The results showed that each isolate has different degree of resistant toward Pb. Isolate IA1 has the higher resistant ability, and it was followed by isolate IS5.---Perairan laut tercemar logam berat timbal (Pb), yang bersumber dari aktifitas pelabuhan, dapat mengganggu kehidupan biota laut, namun sejumlah mikrorganisme mampu beradaptasi karena memiliki kemampuan resistan.  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh isolat bakteri yang resistan terhadap Pb dan menguji kemampuan resistansinya. Isolasi bakteri diperoleh dari sampel sedimen dan air laut dari Pelabuhan Paotere, Makassar.Untuk isolasi bakteri resistan menggunakan media nutrient agar yang megandung 10 ppm Pb.

A co-precipitation technique for nickel(II), chromium(II), manganese(II), lead(II) and zinc(II) with the aid of copper(II) cyclo-hexylmethyldithiocarbamate was established. The influences of some analytical parameters such as pH, sample volume, amounts of cyclo-hexylmethyldithiocarbamate and copper(II) on the recovery of metal ions were investigated. The heavy metals in the precipitate were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The range of detection limits for the heavy metals was 0.003–0.005 mg/L. The atomic spectrometric technique with co-precipitation procedure was successfully applied for the determination of Ni, Cr, Mn, Pb and Zn in industrial wastewater and sediment samples from Ladipo stream in Lagos, Nigeria. The mean concentrations for these metals using co-precipitation procedure were not significantly different from corresponding concentrations obtained using spectrometric techniques without co-precipitation procedure.

Differences in the accumulation of heavy metals lead and cadmium in water, sediments and mangrove organs (roots, stems and leaves) found in the waters of Tulehu, Maluku Province. Samples were taken from three observation stations, namely stopping ships that are not operating (station 1), Tulehu harbor (station 2) and Control (station 3). Pb and Cd were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Pb and Cd content in sediments is higher than in water. The highest Pb and Cd content is found in the stems then in the roots and leaves (stems> roots> leaves). Mangroves are one of the aquatic organisms that have the ability to absorb heavy metals in the aquatic environment. Key words: Mangrove, Pb, Cd, Heavy Metal


The study was conducted on heavy metals contents of water, fish tissues and sediment from Lagos lagoon complex, Nigeria. The aim was to assess the current environmental health/pollution status of the lagoon from three sample stations: Ologe lagoon [1], Badagry creek [2] and Lagos island [3]; each having three (3) hotspots. In all, twelve (11) heavy metals were determined between June and November, 2018. Heavy metals: Zn, Fe, Pb, Cu, Na, Potassium, Ca, Mn, Cd, Hg and Nickel were determined using Atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Results of mean Heavy metals in fish tissues were: Zn (0.741±0.38), Fe (5.59±8.32), Pb (0.12±0.17mg/l), Cu (0.16±0.25), Na (9.38±0.25), Ca (116.68±41.53), Mn (0.76±0.96), Pb (0.01±0.0), Cd (0.02±0.0), Potassium (12.09±2.34), Ni (0.02±0.02) and Hg (0.01±0.0). Statistical analysis showed variations in the distribution of Heavy metals which are mostly within recommended limits of WHO, FME, & LASEPA. Except for iron (Fe), which was found in excess in fish tissues, and other metals (lead), found in higher conc. in sediments than in water and fish tissues combined. This is indicative of heavy metals bio-accumulation in the study area.

Aktivitas manusia di sekitar Sungai Winongo dapat berdampak pada kontaminasi logam berat dari limpasan permukaan dan buangan langsung. Sifat toksik pada logam perlu diperhatikan karena dapat terakumulasi dalam waktu yang lama dan merusak lingkungan. Evaluasi logam berat dapat dilakukan dengan cara pemantauan kualitas air dan kualitas sedimen untuk mengetahui tingkat pencemaran suatu perairan karena logam berat dan distribusi logam berat itu sendiri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui level toksik perairan dilakukan analisis hasil dengan berbagai indeks, yaitu Faktor Risiko Ekologis (Er) dan Indeks Beban Polusi (PLI). Sampel air, sampel sedimen tersuspensi (TSS), dan sedimen pada dasar permukaan diambil pada masing-masing titik untuk diuji laboratorium menggunakan alat AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry). Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa logam Cu dan Cr paling banyak ditemukan pada sedimen dasar, sedangkan logam Pb paling banyak ditemukan terlarut dalam air. Logam pada sedimen tersuspensi ditemukan sangat kecil yaitu <0,031. Konsentrasi logam pada sedimen tersuspensi tertinggi adalah 0,043 mg/L pada titik T4.  Berdasarkan perhitungan Er dan PLI, potensi risiko ekologis terhadap logam di Sungai Winongo rendah (Er<40) dan tidak terdapat polusi karena logam berat (PLI<1). Namun, analisis kualitas air menunjukkan untuk nilai Cu dan Pb melebihi baku mutu kelas 2. Penelitian ini dapat dijadikan penelitian awal dalam kajian logam berat di Sungai Winongo secara historis.ABSTRACTThe Increase of human activities around the Winongo River can have an impact on decreasing water quality due to pollution from household and small industrial waste. Metal contamination in the aquatic environment is an environmental issue that needs attention due to its toxicity. Moreover, it can be accumulated in aquatic environments for a long time. Monitoring water quality and sediment quality is important to determine the distribution of heavy metals sources and the level of pollution in the waters. This research aims to determine the water toxicity level. An analysis of the results was carried out with various indices, which are the Ecological Risk (Er) and Pollution Load Index (PLI) in the water samples, suspended sediment samples (TSS), and sediment at the bottom of the surface will be taken at each point for laboratory testing using AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry). The concentration of heavy metals for Cu and Cr in the surface sediment respectively was found higher than its concentration in the river water. Meanwhile, Pb contents are found higher in river water. The contents of heavy metals are found less in the suspended sediment samples. The Er and PLI shows low pollution risk and low pollution status, respectively. It indicates that the Code River was still in low pollution status for Cu, Cr, and Pb contamination. On the other hand, the water quality analysis results Cu and Pb over the Water Quality Standard for Class 2. This study may serve as a useful reference and baseline for heavy metals research in Winongo River historically.

Contents and distributions of heavy metals in surface sediments from the northern Beibu Gulf were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results showed that the contents of Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr and Cd were 14.22~26.68, 31.85~54.59, 60.19~90.93, 29.95~67.95 and 0.030~0.130 µg•g–1, respectively, and average were 18.21, 38.88, 78.00, 48.46 and 0.09µg•g–1. The reducing environments in northern Beibu Gulf were attributed to organic matters and sulfide. The distributions of heavy metals showed the trend of higher along the coastal area and lower in the offshore area, generally controlled by terrestrial inputs, as well as hydrological conditions, depositional environments and so on.
