    ABSTRACT Lake Markermee( is a large fresh water lake in the centre of the Netherlands. Since Lake Markermeer is categorised as a shallow lake, it is very susceptible for sediment resuspension. The general objective of this study is to investigate sediment and nutrient dynamics in Lake Markermeer sediments. This research was ca"ied out in a 5 months period from November 2007 until March 2008 using sediment trap methods. Sampling sites for sediment traps are located at the two fixed sites in which each sampling site had duplicates bottom and half-depth traps. The collection of the sediment traps samples was conducted every two weeks. The parameter measured in sediment traps were: sediment trap yields, Loss on ignition (LOI), total N and total P. Statistical t test analysis was utilised to compare the value of each parameter between two sampling stations as well as between bottom and half depth at the same stations. The results for the sediment trap activities showed that at the two fixed sampling stations, the sediment trap yields in the bottom part tend to be higher than half depth. This difference between bottom and halfway traps is statistically significant. Also, a significant difference was found between STA and STB, both for bottom and half-depth traps.A similar result was found for LOI..For total Nand P the results showed that there were no significant differences between bottom and half-depth at the two fixed sampling stations

    Constructed wetlands are a promising solution technology to effectively treat domestic wastewater in developing countries at low cost. This paper reports the findings of the effectiveness of sand planted with Thypa latifolia with variation of the length of outflow measured from the bottom of the media in removing BOD5, COD, and suspended solids. The experimental design consisted of 12 vertical flow (VF) mesocosms. There were 3 treatments and one control based on the with variation of the length of outflow measured from the bottom of the media (7, 14, and 21 cm).  During the five months, the mesocosms were loaded with syntethic wastewater. The influent had a 2-day hydraulic retention time. Samples were monitored for BOD5, COD and TSS. The results showed the concetration of BOD5, COD and TSS reduced significantly after the wastewater were treated with constructed wetland systems.  The trend showed that the constructed wetland systems planted with Thypa latifolia had a better performance in comparison with the control. There were no significant differences of BOD5 COD, and suspended solidoutflow among  7, 14 and 21  of constructed wetland systems. This indicated that the length of outflow measured from the bottom of the media did not influence the performance of constructed wetland systems in removing BOD5, COD and TS

    Simple Microfluidic Paper-Based Analytical Device (μ-PAD) Coupled with Smartphone for Mn(II) Detection Using Tannin as a Green Reagent

    Get PDF
    The development of a simple yet greener microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μ-PAD) for on-site detection of Mn(II) in various types of waters using tannin as a natural reagent was described. The μ-PAD consists of twelve detection zones, created on a Whatman Number 1 filter paper by a simple drawing technique using an acrylic watercolor. The detection of Mn(II) was based on the color change on the reaction zone due to the reaction between Mn(II) and the pre-deposited tannin. The μ-PAD image was captured by a portable smartphone detector, and the blue intensity was digitized using a color picker application to generate the reflectance as the analytical response. The proposed method was characterized by a linear dynamic range of 0.05–0.25 mg L−1 with the limit of detection (LOD) for the determination of Mn(II) of 0.026 mg L−1. The other analytical merits of the proposed method, such as precision (RSD, 1.107%), accuracy (E, 6.697%), and recovery (104–112%), were all comparable to the existing spectrophotometric methods. The method’s successful application to natural water samples from manganese mining sites aligns with the reference spectrophotometric method, indicating its good selectivity and accuracy without significant influence of commonly associated interfering ions

    The main purpose of the research is to analyze the needs of urban forest in the Kupang City based on the sink of CO2 anthropogenic. Primary data collected through field surveys and laboratory analysis of leaf samples using carbohydrate method. Case studies and literature are used to obtain secondary data from relevant agencies or literature, especially the results of studies with similar cases. The results showed that increasing emmission of CO2 anthropogenic. Total emissions of CO2 anthropogenic come from the use of fuel oil and gas and electricity consumption was 393,498.003 tons/year, in 2015 increased to 490,673.45 tons/year, and in 2025 reached 710,928.38 tons/year. Urban forest area in the city today in many forms of 969.35 ha or 5.38%, but from the region of the npure function as urban forest is only 177 ha or 0.98%. Based on the absorption of CO2, the needs of urban forest area in the city at this time are sufficient, but based on Government Regulation number 63/2002 that establishes urban forest land area of at least 10% of the area of the city, the area available has not yet qualified. CO2 absorption of 9 tree species studied vary between tree species, depending on the mass of net carbohydrates, leaf area, and number of leaves per tree. Plants that have high the absorptive capacity of CO2 are the jackfruit and the banyan tree with value of 453.95 and 428.48 kg/tree/year, respectively, while the lowest is flamboyant with 0.12 kg/tree/year of CO2 absorptio

    Lampiran 1A Paper Sediment Characteristics and Wind Induced Sediment Dynamics in Lake Markemeer, the Netherlands, Aquatic Sciences

    No full text
    In 2007/08, a study was undertaken on the sediment dynamics in shallow Lake Markermeer (the Netherlands). Firstly, sediment characteristics were determined at 49 sites in the lake. Parameters such as median grain size and loss on ignition showed a spatial as well as water depth related pattern, indicating wind-induced sediment transport. Highly significant correlations were found between all sediment parameters. Lake Markermeer sediment dynamics were investigated in a sediment trap field survey at two permanent stations in the lake. Sedimentyields, virtually all coming from sediment resuspension, were significantly correlated with average wind speeds,though periods of extreme winds also played a role.Sediment resuspension rates for Lake Markermeer were high, viz. on average ca. 1,000 g m-2 day-1. The highlydynamic nature of Lake Markermeer sediments must bedue to the overall shallowness of the lake, together with itslarge surface area (dynamic ratio = [H(area)]/[averagedepth] = 7.5); wind-induced waves and currents willimpact most of the lake’s sediment bed. Indeed, near-bed currents can easily reach values 10 cm/s. Measurements of the thickness of the settled ‘‘mud’’ layer, as well as 137Csdating, showed that long-term deposition only takes placein the deeper SE area of the lake. Finally, lake sediment dynamics were investigated in preliminary laboratory experiments in a small ‘‘micro-flume’’, applying increasingwater currents onto five Lake Markermeer sediments.Sediment resuspension started off at 0.5–0.7 cm/s andshowed a strongly exponential behaviour with respect to these currents
