ABSTRAK Dalam melaksanakan kegiatan ekspor bauksit, sesuai Permen ESDM nomor 25 tahun 2018, perusahaan tambang diwajibkan untuk melakukan peningkatan kadar bauksit yang akan dijual melalui proses pencucian. Untuk mendukung hal tersebut, dibangun washing plant, sebagai sarana proses pencucian, dan sedimen pond, sebagai sarana sumber air serta pengelolaan limbah. Secara umum, proses pengelolaan air berawal dari run off pada bukaan tambang, yang dikelola dengan membuat kolam pengendapan di area tambang. kemudian untuk mendukung proses pencucian, dibangun sedimen pond sebagai sarana tempat penampungan limbah hasil pencucian dan pengelolaan air limbah sehingga dapat digunakan kembali untuk proses pencucian bauksit di washing plant. Alur proses pencucian berawal dari air pada kolam dipompakan ke washing plant, limbah hasil pencucian dialirkan ke kolam sedimen, kemudian dilakukan proses daur ulang melalui sirkulasi tertutup dengan dialirkannya kembali air tersebut ke kolam pompa untuk digunakan pada proses pencucian. Pada musim hujan, apabila terdapat penambahan air dari run off, sebagian air dialirkan ke badan air atau lingkungan untuk menjaga kapasitas tampung dari kolam sedimen. Dikarenakan adanya aliran air ke lingkungan, maka Tambang Bauksit Tayan wajib memenuhi persyaratan pada Peraturan Menteri Lingkungan Hidup nomor 34 tahun 2009 tentang Baku Mutu Limbah Air Kegiatan Pertambangan Bauksit. Berdasarkan peraturan tersebut, Tambang Bauksit Tayan wajib memenuhi kadar baku mutu pH di rentang 6-9 dan maksimum kadar Total Suspended Solid (TSS) 200 mg/l.  Maka dari itu, sebelum dialirkan ke kolam pompa, dilakukan penambahan flokulan untuk menjaga kadar TSS air tidak melebihi baku mutu sehingga diperbolehkan untuk dialirkan ke lingkungan dan mengondisikan air tetap jernih untuk menunjang proses pencucian. Untuk mengetahui flokulan dengan kinerja paling optimal, dilakukan jar test dengan beberapa jenis flokulan untuk mengetahui perbandingan biaya terhadap efektivitas proses yang dihasilkan. Dari percobaan yang dilakukan, seluruh flokulan efektif dan diperoleh efisiensi proses tertinggi dari flokulan sebesar 99% untuk konsentrasi flokulan uji 5 ppm. Kemudian flokulan tersebut digunakan sebagai bahan penjernih air pada water treatment plant untuk mengelola air limbah pencucian bauksit agar sesuai dengan standar parameter yang tertera pada regulasi yang ada. Dengan dilaksanakannya proses pengelolaan run off pada bukaan tambang, pengelolaan sedimen pond, dan pemenuhan aspek kepatuhan regulasi, kegiatan penambangan bauksit, khususnya pada tahapan pencucian di washing plant dapat dilaksanakan secara optimal sehingga dapat mendukung proses produksi untuk mencapai target yang telah ditetapkan. Kata Kunci : Run Off, Pencucian Bauksit, Sedimen Pond, Total Suspended Solid, Flokulan  ABSTRACT In carrying out bauxite export activities, according to Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 25  2018, mining companies are required to increase the level of bauxite which will be sold through the washing process. To support this, a washing plant was built, as a means of the washing process, and a sediment pond, as an air source and waste management. In general, the process of water management starts from runoff at mine openings, which is managed by creating a settling pond in the mine area. then to support the washing process, build a sediment pond as a waste disposal place for washing and waste water management can be used again for the process of washing bauxite in the washing plant. The flow of the washing process starts from the water in the pond being pumped to the washing plant, the washing wastes are channeled into the sediment pond, then the recycling process is carried out through closed circulation by being channeled back into the pump pond for use in the washing process. In the rainy season, it needs air assistance from runoff, most of it is channeled to the air bodies or the environment for the reserve capacity of the sediment ponds. Due to the flow of water into the environment, the Tayan Bauxite Mine is required to meet the requirements of the Minister of Environment Regulation No. 34/2009 concerning Quality Standards for Wastewater in Bauxite Mining Activities. Based on these regulations, the Tayan Bauxite Mine is required to meet pH quality standards in the range of 6-9 and a maximum level of Total Suspended Solid (TSS) of 200 mg / l. Therefore, before flowing into the pump pond, do flocculant to get TSS levels of air not exceeding the quality standard so that it is diverted to the environment and condition the air to remain clear to support the washing process. To find out the flocculant with the most optimal performance, do a jar test with several types of flocculant to find out the costs for the resulting process. From the experiments, all the effective flocculants and the highest process efficiency obtained from flocculants was 99% for the 5 ppm flocculant concentration test. Then this flocculant is used as an air purifier in water treatment plants to manage bauxite washing wastewater to comply with the standard parameters stated in the existing arrangements. By carrying out runoff management processes at mine openings, pond sediment management, and compliance with regulatory aspects, bauxite mining activities, particularly at the washing stage at the washing plant can be carried out optimally, can support the production process to achieve the targets. Keywords: Run Off, Bauxite Washing, Sediment Pond, Total Suspended Solid, Flocculant

<p>The Chindwin River, a major tributary of the Ayeyarwady River in Myanmar, is approximately 850 km long with a watershed area of 115,300 km<sup>2</sup>. The Chindwin River is essential for local livelihoods, drinking water, ecosystems, navigation, agriculture, and industries such as logging and mining. Over the past two decades, Myanmar’s rapid economic development has resulted in drastic changes to socio-economic and ecological conditions in the basin. Water users in the basin reported that there is a rapid extension of gold and jade mining and they observed a noticeable decline in water quality along with increased sedimentation and turbidity. So far, however, Myanmar has not undertaken a comprehensive scientific study in the Chindwin River Basin to assess water quality and sources of water pollution and to effectively address issues of river basin degradation and concerns for public health and safety. This study aims to assess the status of water quality in the Chindwin River and the potential impact of mining activities on the water quality and loading through monitoring program and modeling approach. 17 locations in the upper, middle and lower parts of the Chindwin River Basin were selected for water quality monitoring. These sites are located near Homalin, Kalewa, Kani and Monywa townships where human activities and interventions could affect water quality. Water quality sampling and testing in the Chindwin River was conducted two times per year: in the dry season (May-June) and in the wet season (September-October) during 2015-2017. We monitored 21 parameters including heavy metals such as Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Copper (Cu) and Iron (Fe). The observed values of Mercury in Uru River in the upper Chindwin River Basin which located nearby gold mining sites shown higher than the WHO drinking standard. This area also has high values of turbidity and Total Suspended Solid. The SHETRAN hydrological model, PHREEQC geochemical model and LOADEST model were used to quantify the heavy metal loads in the Uru River. Results from scenario analysis indicate an increase in Arsenic and Mercury load under increment of concentration due to expansions in mining areas. In both baseline and future climate conditions, the Uru downstream area shows the highest load effluent in both Arsenic and Mercury. These heavy metal loads will intensify the declining water quality condition in Chindwin River and can impact negatively on human health who use water for drinking. Therefore, we recommend that water quality monitoring should continue to provide scientific-evidence for decision-makers to manage water quality and mining activities properly.  Water treatment systems for drinking water are required to remove turbidity, Total Suspended Solid, and Mercury from raw water sources. Raising awareness of relevant stakeholders (local people, farmers, private sectors, etc.) is necessary as many people living in the Chindwin River Basin are using water directly from the river and other waterways without proper water treatment.</p>

Coagulation process using low dosage of plant-based coagulant to remove high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and turbidity is important for water treatment. This study presents the treatment of pond water using plant-based pineapple leaf coagulant to achieve high COD and turbidity removal. The coagulation was performed using a jar test experiment of pond water at different pH followed by different dosages of pineapple leaf coagulant. It was found that the highest COD and turbidity removal ranged between 94.1 – 94.6 % and 88.3 – 88.4 % at pH 8 respectively, using low dosage (50 mg L-1) of pineapple leaf coagulant. The final COD and turbidity values ranged between 7.3 – 8.0 mg L-1 and 17.7 – 17.8 formazin turbidity unit (FTU) respectively, which are lower compared with results from other studies that used high dosage coagulants. Moreover, the final pH, COD, turbidity, dissolved oxygen (DO), and total suspended solid (TSS) values of the treated pond water were below the standard limits set by the National Water Quality Standards for Malaysia (NWQSM) class IIB, which represents water bodies suitable for recreational use with body contact (DOE, 2016). Therefore, it is expected that the newly-formulated waste utilisation of pineapple leaf coagulant can reduce the usage of chemical coagulants and can further be used for different types of water.
