Abstract

Terkontaminasinya tanah oleh polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)
dari pertambangan batubara saat ini masih belum menjadi fokus perhatian di
Indonesia. Batubara berpotensi mengkontaminasi tanah karena mengandung PAH
dalam kadar yang tinggi secara alami dan mampu membentuk polutan
intermediate yang sulit didegradasi oleh mikroorganisme. Salah satu teknik
bioremediasi yang dapat diaplikasikan untuk menyisihkan kadar PAH-batubara
dalam tanah adalah co-composting dengan penambahan sampah organik. Tujuan
penelitian ini adalah menentukan: (a) komposisi optimum tanah terkontaminasi
dan sampah organik dalam proses co-composting untuk bioremediasi tanah
terkontaminasi PAH-batubara, (b) pengaruh pH tanah dalam proses biodegradasi
PAH, (c) pengaruh kondisi aerobik dan anaerobik dalam proses biodegradasi
PAH, (d) pertumbuhan bakteri selama proses co-composting.
Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode eksperimen selama 98 hari dalam
skala laboratorium. Komposisi tanah terkontaminasi PAH dengan sampah organik
(T/S) diatur dengan perbandingan 0/100, 25/75, 50/50, 75/25, dan 100/0. Selain
itu, pH bahan co-composting divariasikan pada kondisi asam (5-5,3) dan netral (6-
7). Proses co-composting dilakukan pada kondisi aerobik dengan laju aerasi 0,5
L/menit dan pada kondisi anaerobik. Analisis PAH dan hasil biodegradasinya
dilakukan dengan metode Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometric pada awal
dan akhir penelitian. Perhitungan jumlah populasi bakteri menggunakan metode
Total Plate Count, pH, dan kadar air diukur setiap 15 hari. Sedangkan suhu
selama penelitian diukur setiap hari.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan proses co-composting tanah terkontaminasi
PAH-batubara berjalan baik pada suhu eksperimen 30-31ᴼC dengan kisaran pH
6,5-7,5, dan kadar air 50-60%. Tingkat penyisihan polutan 16 EPA-PAH tertinggi
sebesar 59,90% berlangsung pada rasio T/S 50/50 dengan kondisi pH netral dalam
proses aerobik. Jumlah bakteri terbanyak pada hari ke-60 yaitu 1,69x1020 CFU/g.
Jumlah bakteri yang terus meningkat setelah itu mengindikasikan proses cocomposting
masih berlangsung hingga akhir penelitian.

The contamination of soil by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
from coal mining activities has not become a focus of attention in Indonesia. Coal
may contaminate the soil because it naturally contains high concentration of
PAHs and other pollutants, which can hardly degraded by microorganisms. One
of bioremediation technologies that can be applied for removing of PAHs
contaminated soil is co-composting with the addition of organic solid waste. The
objectives of this research are to determine: (a) the optimum composition of
contaminated soil (CS) and organic solid waste (OSW) in the co-composting
process for the bioremediation of the CS, (b) the influence of soil pH to PAHs
degradation, (c) the influence of aerobic and anaerobic conditions to PAHs
degradation, (d) bacterial growth during the co-composting process.
This research was conducted in laboratory scale using reactors of 3.5 L
capacity for 98 days. The CS/OSW compositions were varied using 100/0, 75/25,
50/50, 25/75 and 0/100 ratios. The research was conducted in acidic (pH of 5-
5.3) and neutral (pH of 6-7) conditions. The co-composting process was run in
aerobic condition with air supply of 0.5 L/min, and in anaerobic condition. The
concentrations of 16 EPA-PAHs were analyzed using Gas Chromatography Mass
Spectrometric method in the beginning and at the end of the co-composting
process. The total number of bacteria, which was measured using Total Plate
Count method every 15 days, together with the measurement of moisture content
and pH. Temperature during this research was measured every day.
The results showed that the co-composting of PAHs contaminated soil
worked well in the temperature range of 30-31°C, pH values of 6.5-7.5 and
optimum moisture content of 50-60%. The highest removal efficiency (59.90%) of
16 EPA-PAHs occurred in the CS/OSW ratio of 50/50 in the aerobic process at
neutral pH condition. The highest bacteria count of 1.69x1020 CFU/g was
observed in 60th day. The increasing growth of bacteria afterwards indicated that
the composting process was still working until the end of the experiment.
