An extensive oceanographic survey was conducted in the marine area between Kimolos and Sifnos Islands, a rather poorly-studied sector of the Aegean Sea, in order to gain better understanding of submarine geomorphological features and associated sediment provenance. Multi-beam bathymetry and surface sediment sampling with a box corer were carried out on board R/V Aegaeo, followed by grain-size analysis, XRD and XRF measurements. A large circular depression was identified north of Kimolos reaching a water depth of 743 m, filled with fine grained sediments. Surface sediment distribution is characterized by gradual decrease in grain-size from silty sand to silt in a S-N direction. The mineralogical composition comprises calcite, Mgcalcite, aragonite, dolomite, quartz, K feldspars, plagioclase, amphiboles and clay minerals. Major sediment provinces identified were: (i) the shallow sector proximal to Kimolos, characterized by higher contents in Si, Al, K, Rb and Ba; (ii) the deep area west of Sifnos, including the large depression, characterized by higher contents in Fe, Ti, Na, Mg, S, Cr, Cu, Ni, V, Zn; and (iii) the south passage between Kimolos and Sifnos, which exhibits higher Ca, S, and Sr contents. Manganese enrichment was observed in and around the bathymetric depression, where Mn oxides act efficiently as scavengers of a suite of metals.

<strong>Subsurface sediment distribution in the Sumba Waters, East Nusa Tenggara.</strong> Marine geological survey of the Ekspedisi Widya Nusantara 2016 was conducted in the Sumba Waters on 4 to 26 August 2016 using  Baruna Jaya VIII research vessel. The aim of this survey was to reveal the type and characteristics of the subsurface sediments of the Sumba Waters. A total of 13 samples were taken from the different depth in the subsurface bottom of the sea using grabbing methode with box corer. Grain size analysis were conducted using Mastersizer 2000 to understand the characteristics and the sediment type distribution. In general, the type of the subsurface sediment in the Sumba Waters is ranging from medium to very coarse sandy silt. Distribution of the subsurface sediments is correlated to depths. Grain size of the sediments in the Sumba Strait is coarser than in the western and southern of Sumba Island that directly connected to the Indian Ocean. Distribution of the subsurface sediment showing that the sediment, which are distributed further away from the coast is poorly sorted. The deposition of the subsurface-sea sediment is interpreted to represent a calm, and slow sedimentation mechanism under uniform suspension process.

Keselamatan pelayaran adalah suatu keadaan terpenuhinya persyaratan keselamatan dan keamanan yang menyangkut aktivitas angkutan pada alur pelayaran dan di pelabuhan. Salah satu kendala yang dihadapi untuk mendukung terlaksananya kegiatan di pelabuhan dengan aman adalah terjadinya pendangkalan kolam. Laju sedimentasi yang cepat merupakan kendala bagi kelancaran operasional pelabuhan Banjarmasin dan alur pelayarannya. Penting dilakukan kajian untuk mengetahui karakteristik proses sedimentasi yang terjadi. Karakter sedimen laut dapat diidentifikasi dengan ukuran butir sedimen, komposisi sedimen, mekanisme transportasi, dan lingkungan pengendapan. Ukuran butir adalah sifat-sifat yang sangat fundamental dari partikel sedimen, mempengaruhi pengangkatan (entrainment), transport dan pengendapan sedimen. Analisa ukuran butir sedimen memberikan kunci penting bagi asal-usul sedimen, sejarah transportasi, dan kondisi pengendapan. Analisa ukuran butir sedimen memberikan gambaran tentang sifat-sifat fisik sedimen yang berkaitan dengan kemungkinan pemanfaatannya untuk berbagai keperluan. Adapun untuk pengolahan sedimen layang dapat dilakukan dengan metode penyaringan (filtering) dan sedimen terendap dengan metode kering sampai dengan mendapatkan hasil jenis sedimen dan analisis ukuran butir (Grain Size Analysis). Hasil pengolahan sedimen tersebut didapatkan nilai rata-rata kandungan sedimen layang pada daerah survei adalah 0,0309 gram/liter dan berdasarkan ukuran rata-rata dari ukuran partikel sedimen yang mendominasi adalah fraksi pasir dengan jenis Silty Sand. Berdasarkan nilai Sortasi, terlihat bahwa partikel sedimen pada umumnya terpisah dengan buruk dengan klasifikasi Poorly Sorted. Dilihat dari nilai kurtosisnya didominasi jenis leptokurtic. Selanjutnya dari nilai Skewness dominan bernilai negatif, hal ini dapat menggambarkan bahwa kecendrungan partikel kasar.

Berdasarkan hasil analisis besar butir sebanyak 36 percontoh sedimen permukaan dasar laut di Perairan Cirebon, didapatkan 4 jenis sedimen: lanau, lanau pasiran, pasir lanauan dan pasir. Sedimen lanau, lanau pasiran, dan pasir, tersebar di lepas pantai Cirebon dan muara Sungai Kalijaga, sedangkan pasir lanauan di muara sungai Sukalila. Dari Peta Batimetri terlihat daerah dangkal di sekitar muara Sungai Kalijaga. Sedimen paling tebal terdapat di sekitar muara Sungai Kalijaga dan Sungai Sukalila. Sedimen tersebut tersebar ke arah lepas pantai dan ke daerah rencana lokasi pelabuhan. Di muara Sungai Kalijaga sedimennya berupa pasir. Berdasarkan plot pada grafik antara ukuran besar butir terhadap persen frekuensi, didapatkan hasil sedimen dengan persen frekuensi yang tinggi antara 2.25 phi - 2.75 phi atau pasir sedang sampai pasir halus. Berdasarkan grafik frekuensi kumulatif terhadap besar butir terdapat 2 cara transpor yaitu traksi untuk butiran pasir sedang dan saltasi untuk kisaran butiran lanau sampai pasir halus. Kata Kunci : S. Kalijaga, S. Sukalila, Cirebon, besar butir, sedimen Based on grain size analysis of 36 seafloor surficial sediment samples from Cirebon Water; there are 4 types of sediments silt, sandy silt, silty sand and sand. Silt, sandy silt and sand are distributed offshore of Cirebon and in the river mouth of Kalijaga, while silty sand is in the river mouth of Sukalila. From the bathymetric map the shallow water can be observed in Kalijaga river mouth. The thicker sediments are found in Kalijaga mouth and Sukalila river. These sediments have been transported to the offshore and to the proposed Harbour location. Sediment in Kalijaga river mouth is sand. Based on graphic presentation between grain size and percent frequencies, it indicates that the percentage of higher frequencies ranges between 2.25 TO 2.75 phi. Based on the cumulative frequency to grain size graphic, there are two transport modes: traction for medium size sand and saltation for grain size range silt to fine sand.

The World

Ceramic water filters (CWFs) are point-of-use drinking water treatment systems that are manufactured and used in under-served communities around the world. The clayey material (CM) used to manufacture CWFs is a locally sourced mixture of clay, sand, slit and amorphous material (usually dug near the CWF factory). CM varies in composition and purity depending on the geographical location and geological setting. In this study, a set of 13 CM samples collected from around the world were analyzed using grain size analysis, as well as liquid and plastic limit tests. Mineralogical composition was determined using X-ray diffraction. A selection of three CM samples (Guatemala, Canada, and Guinea Bissau) with a range of compositions were used to study biofilm growth on CM before and after firing. Biofilm coverage was studied on CM (before firing) and CWF material (after firing) using Pseudomonas fluorescens Migula. The average biofilm coverages for Guatemala, Canada, and Guinea Bissau CM were 20.03 ± 2.80%, 19.28 ± 0.91%, and 9.88 ± 4.02%, respectively. The average biofilm formation coverages for Guatemala, Canada, and Guinea Bissau CWF were 13.08 ± 1.74%, 10.36 ± 3.41%, and 8.66 ± 0.13%, respectively. The results presented here suggest that CM can be manipulated to manufacture better performing CWFs by engineering the soil characteristics, such as grain size, liquid and plastic limits, and mineralogy. This could improve the durability and biofilm resistance of CWFs.

Mine wastes and tailings derived from historical processing may contain significant contents of valuable metals due to processing being less efficient in the past. The Plombières tailings pond in eastern Belgium was selected as a case study to determine mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of the different mine waste materials found at the site. Four types of material were classified: soil, metallurgical waste, brown tailings and yellow tailings. The distribution of the mine wastes was investigated with drill holes, pit-holes and geophysical methods. Samples of the materials were assessed with grain size analysis, and mineralogical and geochemical techniques. The mine wastes dominantly consist of SiO2, Al2O3 and Fe2O3. The cover material, comprising soil and metallurgical waste is highly heterogeneous in terms of mineralogy, geochemistry and grain size. The metallurgical waste has a high concentration of metals (Zn: 0.1 to 24 wt.% and Pb: 0.1 to 10.1 wt.%). In the tailings materials, Pb and Zn vary from 10 ppm to 8.5 wt.% and from 51 ppm to 4 wt.%, respectively. The mining wastes comprises mainly quartz, amorphous phases and phyllosilicates, with minor contents of Fe-oxide and Pb- and Zn-bearing minerals. Based on the mineralogical and geochemical properties, the different potential applications of the four waste material types were determined. Additionally, the theoretical economic potential of Pb and Zn in the mine wastes was estimated.
