The Benefits and Uses of Iron Sand.

Iron Sand buildup.
Iron sand is one of the results of the Natural Resources in Indonesia and is one of the basic raw material in the steel industry where availability can be found in coastal areas such as on the coast of Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi, and East Lombok (NTB).
In addition to the steel industry as a raw material, iron sand can also be used as a raw material in the manufacture of cement concrete. Iron sand having Fe2O3 content, SiO2, MgO and concrete 80-100 mesh size has the potential to be used as a substitute for cement in the production of high-performance concrete.
The results showed:
The use of iron sand by 80% of the total weight of sand provide maximum compressive strength among sand iron levels are 42.65 MPa and compressive strength can increase by 28.41% compared to normal concrete.
The use of iron sand by 80% of the total weight of sand provide maximum compressive strength among sand iron levels are 3.07 MPa and increases the tensile strength divided by 4.84% compared to normal concrete.
In this iron sand improves the compressive strength and split tensile strength up to 80%, this is possible because in addition to the nature of the chemical nature of the filler also containing SiO2 sand iron which helps the performance of cement as a binder.
In terms of production, PT. Abdi Yasindo Son Iron Sand capable of producing 3,000 tons of iron sand in 1 day. Quality Iron Sand PT. Yasindo Abdi son is the best, this is the potential of the Tasikmalaya region since the Dutch colonial era have potential in mining Iron Sand with the most excellent quality in Indonesia. In addition, PT. Abdi Yasindo Son also see and explore the potential of Iron Sand in Indonesia such as: Kebumen Central Java, Cianjur, Sukabumi and Other regions.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF IRON SAND MINING. 

Iron Sand Dredging Mining Tool.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF IRON SAND MINING.

Mining activity is considered as a coin that has two opposing sides, as well as a source of prosperity potential environmental vandal. As a source of wealth, the state sector income support over the years. As an environmental vandal, open-pit mining (open pit mining) can change in total as a result of both climate and soil throughout the soil layer above the mineral deposits are removed. The loss of vegetation is not directly killing the forest functions as watersheds, erosion control, flood, carbon sinks, supplier of oxygen and temperature control. Ideally, a company's obligation to the welfare of the surrounding community. The trick? By recruiting them into a permanent employee in the company. If they do not meet the criteria as an employee, then the duty of the company to train until they meet the criteria. In this way, the company will be able to help improve the welfare of local people. However, many companies are not willing to fulfill its obligations because it would cost quite a bit. As a result, the level of corporate profits will be less.
In the short term it's probably true. But if they think long term will be another anniversary. Actually, the welfare of the surrounding community is a much-needed social investment for the company. If people feel that the presence of the company was very profitable to them, they would try to protect the company from various threats.They will try to keep up with all their abilities for the company and move it forward . Because the company's progress also means an increase in welfare for them. In this paper put forward some things about the impact of the iron sand mining, prevention and mitigation of the impact caused by iron sand mining. This paper is expected to provide information for all of us, so it will be able to preserve the natural environment and repair the damage that has been going around mining.
In general, iron sand is composed of opaque minerals are mixed with granules of non-metallic minerals such as quartz, calcite, feldspar, ampibol, pyroxene, biotite, and tourmalin. The mineral composed of magnetite, titaniferous magnetite, ilmenite, limonite, and hematite, magnetite Titaniferous is a fairly important part is the alteration of magnetite and ilmenite. Mineral sand iron ore mainly from basaltic rocks and andesitic volcanics. Usefulness of this iron sand in addition to ferrous metals industry has also been widely used in the cement industry.
However, mining always has two opposing sides, as well as a source of prosperity potential environmental vandal. As a source of prosperity, had no doubt that this sector of the state revenue support over the years. As an environmental vandal, open-pit mining (open pit mining) can completely change the climate and soil as a result of the whole soil layer above the mineral deposits are removed. In addition, to acquire or dispose of seeds tanbang of rocks or sand as in gold mining, miners generally use dangerous chemicals that can pollute the soil, water or river and the environment.
In underground mining ( underground mining ) environmental damage is generally caused due to waste ( tailings ) generated in the process of refining the ore . Both open pit mine in and cause the release of certain chemical elements such as Fe and S from pyrite compounds ( Fe2S ) produce acidic waste water ( Acid Mine Drainage / Acid Rock Drainage ) that can be carried away by surface runoff during rain , and into agricultural land in the lower reaches of mining , resulting in higher soil acidity . Soil and acid mine water is very acidic with a pH ranging between 2,5 - 3,5 potentially contaminate agricultural land .

Climate. 

Climate is the average weather conditions , where weather -forming factors include rainfall , humidity , wind speed , solar radiation and so long .
Climate or weather factors that are often used for multiple applications hydrology is precipitation , as well as easy in terms of measurement also has a direct effect on the lives of humans , plants and animals .
Rainfall is used to describe the hydrological phenomena that often occurs as floods , landslides and others. In addition, to illustrate the potential availability of water ( soil moisture ) for plant growth .
Under these conditions, climate analysis will be described more to the condition that in the event of rainfall distribution in space and time.

Population.

Existing population data based on the 2007 publication of the survey population estimates between census BPS . The population in 2007 was 112,528 inhabitants, which consisted of 57 319 souls of men and 55 209 women's lives . This number increased from in 2006 , amounting to 107 473 .

Some negative impacts due to mining if unchecked, among others; 

1). Damage mined land.
2). Destructive and agricultural plantations.
3). Opening the forest to mining areas.
4). In the long run, mining is the biggest contributor to land is critical that the appropriate function returned difficult initially.
5). Pollution of land, water or air. For example, dust, toxic gases, noise etc..
6). Damage ponds and coral reef.
7). Floods, landslides, partial disappearance of biodiversity.
8). Acid mine water is toxic if it flowed into the sea to the river which eventually will damage the ecosystem and coastal and marine resources.
9). Cause a variety of diseases and damage the health.
10). Infrastructure such as roads etc.. severely damaged.

Why did it happen? Because: 

1). The big difference in interest between the interests of the environment vs. economic interests, political etc..
2). Law enforcement has not been good.
3). Rules are made often accommodate multiple interests with even ignoring environmental elements.
4). The rules are not implemented consistently.
5). In practice regional autonomy led to thriving mining and barely controlled. Many cases occur in some regions it protected forest conversion into the production area. Illegal logging is actually carried out by rogue elements who are supposed to protect the forest.

Impact of iron sand mining in an area; 

1. The decline in air quality. 

In the pre-construction phase of the mine due to the mobilization of heavy equipment activity is expected the company will operate 44 units of heavy equipment. At this stage of the activities undertaken include land clearing, road construction, mining, construction of the mine facilities, installation of iron sands development management, will certainly increase the amount of dust in the surrounding environment. This will certainly increase the intensity of the stage mining operations due to stripping of top soil.
The company set a target to manage and carry 1500 s / d 2000 tons per day with a freight volume of 75 s / d 100 trips per day. This will certainly improve the distribution of dust around the mine and will reach into rural residential areas due to transport of iron sand. The duration of the impact of dust is estimated by the company for 15 s / d 18 years (during active mining operations) level of dust pollution will be higher during the day where the wind is blowing from the sea towards the land (residential areas). This of course will reduce the level of public health, they threatened ARI (acute respiratory infection) tuberculosis, and others.

2. Noise. 

Iron sand mining activities in the form of pre-construction phase of the mobilization of heavy equipment totaled 44 units . This certainly will increase the noise in the mining areas and residential communities . The noise level will be growing when mining operations began to run normally . Long the noise lasts as much as 150 to 200 times per day according to the company planned volume of 1500 to 2000 tons per day . With a transport volume of 75 to 100 trips per day . This condition will affect the peace of the citizens at the time of sleep .

3. Conversion of Twin Lakes. 

Most mining areas are the waters of the Air Numan (Twin Lakes) is the initial condition and an area of ​​16.02 hectares of land covering an area of ​​163.34 hectares. Excavation activities will of course extend the shape and structure of the lake, is expected to expand by 28 acres. So also with depth, current depth of the lake ranges from 0.2 meters s / d 0.8 meters. With the iron sand is certain excavation depth of the lake will be 7 to 8 feet. It is very dangerous to people, and the discharge water will undergo structural changes, threats of drought and floods due to sudden uncertain climate, is a major threat to the residents.

4. Abrasion beach. 

It should be recognized mining activity will also affect the structure of the coast, the threat will increase, especially during high tides and large waves and high will make the shape of the beach changed. This condition is recognized by the company restored difficult because it requires huge cost. Communities directly affected. Long impact will occur during the company still operate until the postoperative phase of the mine.
The results of the analysis in the report said UPL, iron sand mining activities negatively affecting the morphology of the land because it can cause a derivative impact abrasion detrimental to society.

5. Decreased Water Quality. 

Mining activities will certainly reduce the quality of the ground water (wells) and surface water quality and the Twin Lakes Water Way Hawang iron sands refineries require a lot of water to be processed in the Magnetic Separator, which produces iron ore and waste water with a capacity of 225 m3 / h. Waste from these refineries would affect water levels in the surrounding residential areas. Another negative is the source of the operation of the workshop. Treatment of iron sands mining heavy equipment would certainly produce as much as 58.49 liters of used oil per day. The rest of the used oil if not managed properly can contaminate lakes will be twins and wells, and sea water in the mine environment. This is evident in many mining carelessly throw away their used oil into a river or scattered on the ground.

6. Damage Road. 

Lane highway transportation company covering the village to the harbor. This road is a country road with specification III A or to pass a vehicle with a maximum payload of 8 tons. At every stage of the mining operation planned 1500 - 2000 tons of iron ore transported by truck carrier with a capacity of 20 tons per unit. This condition can damage roads along the transport route cause, the maximum weight of the route path is 10 tons.

7. Aspects of biology. 

Mining activities certainly change the type of vegetation covering an area of ​​46.03 acres (total) of vegetation covering an area of ​​16.02 acres of land and water area of ​​30.01 hectares of vegetation cover loss would certainly cause abrasion. Besides, the income of the people of gardening, such as coconut, palm, rice plants also missing.

8. Water Biota. 

Impacts on aquatic biota is indirect impacts due to sand mining iron. Sources impact derived from water-quality changes as a result of treatment of waste sand. Another source is due to a buildup of iron sand seepage, wastewater former lubricant from the workshop activities. Diversity index of the lake will decrease from baseline 0.8 s / d 2, 48 for plankton and 1.90 s / d 2.98 for benthic biota. This will decrease the amount of fish, shrimp, crab, which is an additional livelihood for the community in addition to farming. Long lasting impact for 15 s / d 18 years.

9. Community income. 

The company claims their mining activities can recruit labor from local residents, surrounding communities can further open up shop and so on. However, keep in mind very few, if not to say no, a local resident who has expertise in mining means, they would be used as manual labor alone, which at times they can be laid off for various reasons. In addition, this process will make people leave their home profession who may initially farmers, fishermen, laborers labor in companies that typically they do not have high bargaining power. It happens in many other mines.
The reaction of acid mine drainage ( Acid Mine Drainage / AMD ) have a direct impact on the quality of soil and water as the pH decreased very sharply . The decline , soil pH will disrupt the balance of nutrients in the soil , macro nutrients become available because the metal is bound by the micro-nutrients while increasing their solubility . According to researchers the decrease of pH will drastically increase the solubility of heavy metals in the environment .
The effect is due to AMD for the company are the tools made of iron or steel becomes corroded very rapidly, causing both inefficiency in the procurement and maintenance of heavy equipment. On living beings, AMD may affect flora and fauna in the mined land and life that are along streams affected by mining activities. This causes the mined land revegetation activities become very expensive with unsatisfactory results. In addition, the quality of the water can interfere with human health.
Indonesia's land surface area that has been permitted for mining activities is relatively small (1.336 million ha or 0.7% of the total land area), and even a total area of ​​mining is still active and completed mined smaller number (36 743 ha, or 0,019 % of the total land area) (Anonymous, 2006). Although the total area disturbed nationally relatively small, mostly mining applying mining techniques on the surface (surface mining) which itself results in perturbation of the local landscape; acreage acreage of existing vegetation and fauna habitat becomes damaged, and the removal of topsoil cover 'mineral reserves produce' decisive changes in topography, hydrology, and landscape stability. If environmental management is not effective, the influence of local (on-site) can lead to harassment continued outside the mine area (off-site), which is derived from water and wind erosion on the rest of the excavation that has not been stabilized or waste materials derived from mineral processing. These effects may also include sedimentation of rivers, and a decrease in water quality due to increased salinity, acidity, and loads of toxic elements in the water of the river.

Definition Bioremediation. 

Bioremediation is the use of microorganisms to reduce pollutants in the environment. When bioremediation occurs, enzymes produced by microorganisms modify toxic pollutants by changing the chemical structure of these pollutants, an event called biotransformation. In many cases, biotransformation leads to biodegradation, where toxic pollutants degraded, its structure becomes complex, and ultimately into metabolites that are harmless and non-toxic.
By Anonymous stated that bioremediation is the process of cleaning the soil contamination using microorganisms (fungi, bacteria). Bioremediation aims to break down or degrade contaminants into less toxic materials or non-toxic (carbon dioxide and water).
Bioremediation of heavy metals in contaminated land is defined as the process of cleaning up (clean up) the land of pollutants (pollutant) in biology or by using living organisms, both microorganisms (microfauna and microflora) and makroorganisme (plants).
Since the 1900s, people have been using microorganisms to treat water in the drains. Currently, bioremediation has grown on sewage treatment hazardous waste (chemical compounds that are difficult to degrade), which is usually associated with industrial activity. Included in these pollutants include heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, and halogenated organic compounds such as pesticides, herbicides, and others. Many new applications using microorganisms to reduce pollutants that are being tested. Bioremediation field is now supported by a better knowledge of how pollutants can be degraded by microorganisms, identification of the types of new and beneficial microbes, and the ability to improve bioremediation through genetic technology. Molecular genetic technology is very important to identify the genes that encode enzymes related to bioremediation. Characterization of the genes in question can increase our understanding of how microbes modify toxic pollutants into harmless.
Recombinant microbial strains or types that are created in the lab can be more efficient in reducing pollutants. Recombinant microorganisms created and patented the first time is bacteria "oil-eating". These bacteria can oxidize hydrocarbons are commonly found in petroleum. The bacteria are growing faster than other types of bacteria that is natural or not created in a laboratory that has been tested. However, these findings have not been successfully commercialized because of this recombinant strain can break down harmful components only in limited quantities. Even this strain has not been able to degrade the molecular components that are heavier tend to persist in the environment.

Type Bioremediation. 

The types of bioremediation are as follows: 

Biostimulasi. 

Nutrients and oxygen, in the form of a liquid or gas, is added to water or soil contaminated to strengthen the growth and activity of bacteria existing remediation in the water or the soil.

Bioaugmentasi. 

Microorganisms that can help clean up certain contaminants added to water or contaminated soil. This method is most often used in removing contamination somewhere. But there are some obstacles encountered when used this way. It is very difficult to control the conditions of contaminated sites so that microorganisms can develop optimally. Scientists do not yet fully understand all of the mechanisms involved in bioremediation, and microorganisms are released into an unfamiliar environment may be difficult to adapt.

Intrinsic bioremediation. 

Bioremediation of this type occur naturally in water or contaminated soil.
In the future, the recombinant microorganisms may provide an effective way to reduce the chemical compounds that are harmful to our environment. However, this approach requires careful research relating to the recombinant microorganisms, are effective in reducing pollutants, microorganisms and is it safe when it is released into the environment.

HANDLING PROBLEMS. 

1. Prevention of coastal erosion. 

Coastal erosion has become a serious threat to the coastal beach areas, the solution:
Planting mangroves in an integrated manner.
Installation of a breakwater.
Making waves embankment.
Mangrove planting and trees in the forest to prevent coastal erosion. Definition or understanding Abrasion Abrasion is the process of coastal erosion by the force of ocean waves and sea currents that are destructive. Some say Abrasion as coastal erosion. Damage due to abrasion of the shoreline is influenced by natural phenomena and human action. Human actions that led to the abrasion is taking stones and sand on the coast as a building material. Besides felling trees in coastal forests or mangrove forests spur more rapid occurrence of coastal erosion. Coastal forests that do not happen to have some zoning abrasion clear, namely Ipomea pescaprae zone and zone Barringtonia. Zone Ipomea Ipomea pescaprae usually dominated by Spinifex pescaprae and littoreus (wind grass). While there is often a zone Barringtonia species Barringtonia asiatica, Pongamia pinnata Merr, Cordia subcordata L, L Calophyllum, Terminalia cattapa L, etc.. To prevent coastal erosion needs to be done and the planting of trees in coastal forests and preserve the trees from human disturbance.

2. Combating Acid Mine Drainage / AMD. 

There have been many technologies are intended to address acid mine drainage (AMD). The technology is based on the principle applied to both chemistry and biology have yielded disappointing results as a whole can address AMD. The technique is based on the principles of chemistry, such as calcification, although it is expensive but the results can only increase the pH and temporary. The technique of making the channel anoxic (anoxic lime drain) that combines the principles of physics and chemistry is also very costly and the results are not encouraging. Bioremediation techniques by utilizing sulfate reducing bacteria provide encouraging results. Selection results in the study show that the BPS can increase the pH from 2.8 to 7.1 in acid mine drainage East Pit Excavation within 2 days and lower Fe and Mn with efficiencies> 80% within 10 days.
Nevertheless , the studies carried out on the water while the resources into the base of the AMD untouched . It is very important indeed is the formation of AMD prevention . How to prevent contact with oxygen and sulfide minerals inhibit the growth of sulfur -oxidizing bacteria ( BOS ) is the most decisive in dealing with AMD . These bacteria are classified as chemo - ototrof , so the addition of organic matter will kill the microbes . How to provide organic matter to the soil so wide ? Planting good land is the right answer . How do the planting on land that is so heavy ? The right answer is also the addition of organic matter . Because organic matter can act as a buffer so as to increase the pH , as a source of nutrients , can increase water holding capacity , increase CEC and can bind metals are widely available on mined lands . Revegetation on mined land is managed well will supply organic matter to the soil through litter production and root exudates .

3. Thiobacillus bacteria Ferrooxidans As Waste Handling iron sand mining. 

Group of metalliferous minerals include gold, iron, copper, lead, zinc, tin, manganese. While nonmetalliferous minerals consist of coal, quartz, bauxite, trona, borax, asbestos, talc, feldspar and rock phosphate. Minerals for building materials and rock ornaments including slate, marble, limestone, Traprock, travertine, and granite.
The development of processing technology led to the extraction of low grade ore to be more economical, so that wider and the layers of the earth to be excavated. This leads to the mining activities pose a huge environmental impact and are important.
The safest alternative and environmentally friendly for the desulfurization of iron sand is microbiologically using bacteria Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and Thiobacillus thiooxidans. The combined use of both bacteria is intended to better optimize desulfurization. Thiobacillus ferooxidans have the ability to oxidize iron and sulfur, while Thiobacillus thiooxidans was not able to oxidize sulfur by itself, but it grew on sulfur that is released after the iron is oxidized.

4. Utilization of Sludge For Land Revegetation Spur Mine Closure iron sand. 

Generally, using a top mining company (topsoil) or compost to restore soil fertility. On average it takes 5,000 tons per acre of compost or top soil. The conventional method is less appropriate in the former mining areas are vast. Utilization of industrial waste paper sludge could be an alternative option. The paper industry produces 10 percent of the total pulp sludge containing N and P.
Experiments demonstrated a dose of 50 percent paper sludge can improve the properties of the soil is more effective than top soil treatment. This paper sludge dual role in soil bioremediation processes are ex-mine coal as a source of soil organic matter (BOT) and sulfate reducing bacteria inoculum source (BPS). Giving former coal mine sludge on two processes that lead to environmental improvement (soil amendment) and effective microbial inoculation.
Provision of paper sludge to 50 percent in the former coal mining land able to reduce the availability of soil Fe 98.8 percent, 48 percent Mn, Cu Zn 78 percent and 63 percent. BPS is able to reduce sulfate to sulfda-metal compounds are not available.

5. Contaminated Soil Bioremediation. 

Environmental pollution of land recently received considerable attention, due to the globalization of trade apply strict rules ecolabel. Soil pollutant sources generally are heavy metals and toxic aromatic compounds produced through mining and industrial activities. These compounds are mutagenic and carcinogenic generally very harmful to health.
Bioremidiasi heavy metal contaminated soil has been done by using heavy metal reducing bacteria that can not be absorbed by plants. The results of the study showed that the fungus has a larger contribution from the bacteria, and its contribution is increasing with the increasing levels of heavy metals.
Ectomycorrhizal fungi can increase plant tolerance to toxic metals through the accumulation of metals in the hyphae ekstramatrik and " extrahyphae slime " , thereby reducing absorption into the host plant . However , not all mycorrhizal host plants can increase tolerance to toxic metals , because each has a different effect mycorrhiza . Bioremidiasi utilization of mycorrhizal fungi in polluted soils , in addition to the accumulation of the material in the hyphae , also can through the mechanism of the metal complex by external hyphae secretion .
Heavy metal pollution on forest ecosystems affects the health of the forest
plants , especially the development and growth of seedlings of forest plants .
This sort of thing is very common around the mining area ( tailings and surrounding areas ) . Soil contamination with heavy metals will increase seedling mortality and frustrate reforestation programs . Research shows that Ni is more dangerous than Cr . Symptoms of poisoning appear at concentrations of Ni 80 umol / l on land that is not in nokulasi with mycorrhizal inoculation whereas in soil with Pisolithus sp, Symptoms of poisoning occurred at a concentration of 160 umol / l. Pisolithus isolates taken from Ni mining residues are much more resistant to high levels of Ni compared with Pisolithus taken from stands of Eucalyptus that is not contaminated heavy metals .
Bioremediation wetlands polluted by industrial waste (organic pollutants, sediments high or low pH in the flow path and settling ponds) can also be done by making use of semi-aquatic plants such as Phragmites australis. Phragmites australis can associate with mycorrhizal fungi through gradual drying in a short period of time. It can be used as a land management strategy polluted (phytostabilisation) by increasing the rate of development mikotropik species. Research and Leyval Joner (2001) showed that treatment of the contaminated soil mycorrhizae by polysiklik aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from industrial wastes affect the growth of clover, but not on the growth reygrass. With the decline in mycorrhizal clover results for PAHs can be suppressed. But when coupled with the addition of mycorrhizal addition of surfactant, a substance that dissolves PAH, then the rate of decline increased clover results.
Plants growing coal mining waste study shows that of the 18 local plant species studied , 12 of them did mycorrhizae .
Plants that thrive in the coal waste land , there was an " oil droplets " in the mycorrhizal root vesicles . This suggests that there is a filtration mechanism , so that the material is not toxic until it is absorbed by plants .
Mycorrhizae can also protect plants from excess of certain toxic elements such as heavy metals ( Killham , 1994 in Madjid and Novriani : 2009) . The mechanism of protection against heavy metals and toxic elements that can be administered through the effects of mycorrhizal filtration , chemical or disable the accumulation of these elements in the fungal hyphae . Khan stated that the vesicles arbuskular mycorrhizal ( VAM ) can occur naturally in plants pioneer in the field of industrial waste discharges, coal mine tailings, or other polluted land. Inoculation with a suitable inoculant can accelerate reforestation efforts contaminated soil toxic elements .

6 . Prevention and Countermeasures Against the impact caused by the Iron Sand Mining .

Prevention and mitigation of the impact caused by the sand miners can be reached by several approaches , to do certain actions as follows :

1. Technological approach , the orientation of preventive technologies ( control / protective ) is the development of roads / lanes specifically for the transport of iron sand so it will reduce the complexity of the transportation problems . Pedestrian ( pedestrian ) will avoid a dirty air chamber . Using a dust mask ( dust masks ) in order to minimize the risk of exposure / exposed by sand ( coal dust ) .

2. Approach aimed at structuring the environment so that the environment will be protected from loss caused by damage to the environment . Reclamation and revegetation of mined iron sand can prevent malaria mosquito breeding . It is feared that the former pit / crater iron sand can become a mosquito breeding (breeding place ) . Planting mangroves and mangrove integrated manner to prevent coastal erosion .

3. Administrative approach that binds all parties to the exploitation of iron sand mining activities are to comply with the applicable provisions (law ​​enforcement )

4. Educative approach , to the people who made ​​and developed to foster and provide counseling / lighting continuously motivate behavior change and raise awareness for environmental sustainment participate .

CONCLUSION .

Each activity must produce a result , so does the exploitation of minerals , must carry a clear impact on the environment and also the lives around him , the impact can be negative or positive , but in any exploitation there must be a negative impact , it can be minimized if the concerned party is responsible for the processing of natural resources and also use them wisely .
If done in-depth research , will be a lot of adverse effects of destructive force caused by the mining . If we learn from mining cases in Bengkulu such as coal , iron sand in Seluma , and others .
Relying dredging of Natural Resources ( SDA ) as a source of revenue ( PAD ) is a form of local government that is not creative and solution. Because mining is not only a blessing for its owner , but also catastrophic destructive force caused both environmental damage , damage to social , cultural societies become more consumptive and much more .
So , thank you for reading this article.  Written and posted by Bambang Sunarno.

Did You Know About Quartz Sand.

Quartz sand.

Quartz sand is one of the minerals are relatively abundant in Indonesia . This is possible due to conditions such as Indonesia, which is almost half as a source of acid igneous rock forming minerals such . Quartz sand are found in coastal areas of rivers, lakes , beaches and some of the shallow seas . This mineral plays an important enough for the industry , either as the main raw material as well as follow-up material . As the main raw material , quartz sand used by the manufacturing industry to produce products that can be used by consumers primarily for building materials and the main ingredient in the design of interior / exterior as well as materials for household needs . While the follow-up material , quartz sand used in casting molds for metal materials , refractory materials and as a filler material in the mining and petroleum industry , especially when performing drilling activities .
Along with the state of Indonesia's current economic conditions , the development of quartz sand in the last three years experienced significant fluctuations , ie in the period 1998-2001 , resulting in a decrease in consumption . However, because an important role in the industry , in the first half , in 2002 , the production and consumption of quartz sand began creeping up .

GEOLOGY.

1. So initially.

Quartz sand ( quartz sands ) is an acidic weathering of igneous rocks such as granite , gneiss or other igneous rock containing major mineral quartz . The result of this weathering process then undergo sedimentation , water-borne or wind then deposited on the edges of rivers , lakes or beaches . Because the numbers are quite large and looks white along the banks of a river , lake or the beach , then in Indonesia, better known by the name of white sand .
The quality quartz sand in Indonesia is quite varied , depending on the genesis and influence of mineral impurities formed during the process of sedimentation participate . Ma ¬ terial these impurities are as giving color to the quartz sand , and the percentage of color purity can be estimated . Granules that contain a lot of iron oxide compounds will look yellow , aluminum and titan element content will be more clearly visually , and the content of the elements calcium , magnesium and potassium tend to form a reddish color .
In Nature , found with quartz sand grain size , ranging smooth fraction ( < 0.06 mm ) when there are far from the parent rock , while the size of the coarse ( > 2mm ) is located not far from the parent rock .

2. Mineralogy.

Forming minerals dominantly quartz sand lapped by crystal - crystalline silica ( SiO2 ) which form a hexagonal pattern as well as some mineral impurities are bound with the mineral. The chemical composition of quartz sand generally consists of the following elements:
Table 1.
SiO2 from 55.30 to 99.87 % ,
Fe2O3 from 0.01 to 9.14 % ,
Al2O3 from 0.01 to 18.00 % ,
TiO2 from 0.01 to 0.49 % ,
CaO from 0.01 to 3.24 % ,
MgO from 0.01 to 0.26 %
K2O 0.01 - 17.00 % .
Complete chemical composition of some of the areas that have been studied can be shown in Table 1.
The physical properties of quartz sand has distinctive characteristics , namely the translucent white or other colors depending on the compound impurities , hardness ranged from 7 ( Mohs scale ) , specific gravity between 2.50 to 2.70 , melting point between 1715 ° C , the hexagonal crystal form , specific heat and thermal conductivity 0.185 between 12 - 100o C.

3. Potential and reserves .

From the previous investigation reports Indonesian quartz sand reserves are in western Indonesia , because of the possibility of rocks in this area are acidic . Based on previous research reports and the results of the study Madiadipoera and his friends , the amount of quartz sand reserves estimated at 4.55 billion tonnes , 78.6 million tonnes , comprising measured reserves, 12.4 million indicated tonnes, 21.3 million tonnes of inferred and 4.4 billion hypothetical reserves . Quartz sand reserves are the largest in West Sumatra , which is about 82.5 % of the reserves in Indonesia . Next is West Kalimantan , West Java , South Sumatra .
The best quality quartz sand contained in South Kalimantan with the amount of silica ( SiO2 ) ranged between 98.7 - 99.9 % ¬ , then the quartz sand that comes from Bangka and Belitung with SiO2 content between 97.6 to 98.53 % .

MINING .

1. Exploration .

To determine the potential and the quality of quartz sand reserves conducted exploration activities covering the aerial mapping , topographic mapping , geological mapping , geophysical investigation and proceed with the drilling or well testing . Geophysical methods are appropriate for this quartz sand deposits generally using resistivity method , because the condition is relatively homogeneous quartz sand deposits and tend to parallel to the surface .
Quality and reserves based on quartz sand sampling by drilling wells or test . When you have a thick and extensive known reserves the quartz sand , it will be able to predict large reserve potential . Reserve calculation process can be carried out by the method of Inverse Distance Square ( IDS ) or with roughly calculated by multiplying wide with a thick layer .
At the moment the software for the calculation is quite commonly found on the market such as using software Surfer , Surpac , Datamine or Micromine .
Now we know the size of the reserve , then continued with a laboratory test to determine the quality of quartz sand in the area . When you know all the information , then it can do calculations and analysis to determine the outlook and the appropriate utilization of these reserves .

2. Mining .

In general , quartz sand mining , open pit that is by the dry method and wet method using a monitor ( hydraulic mine ) . The choice of method depends on the processing , distribution and location of the deposition .
Stage mining operations include overburden stripping ( land clearing ) followed by quartz sand excavation , loading .
a. Stripping (stripping )
The purpose of overburden stripping is to reduce impurities ( dilution ) , when it will do the mining process . Usually overburden consists of scrub and clay layers ( soil) .
Activities undertaken in this phase to be cleaning scrub using manual tools ( hoe , shovel , belincong , etc. ) , or mechanical means ( bulldoser rake tool equipped single / double , Harrows ( scrapper ) , shovels , and other etc. ) . The selection of tools depends on the field conditions and the level of mining production .
Equipment used with mechanical equipment includes Harrows process , facilitation and the collection of soil cover material that will be used during the process of back -filling ( reclamation ) to close the land that has been mined.
a. Intake of quartz sand.
Because these minerals loose material , then the mining system that can be used wet or dry manner . Capturing the dry method is to use a power shovel or a bulldozer , then stockpiled and transported to wear dumptruck .
Intake of quartz sand by means of wet spraying is done by the monitor . A mixture of water and quartz sand ( slurry ) is pumped to the reservoir ( stockpile ) and then transported to a processing plant or directly sold to the market .
b. Loading and Transportation
The transport of mining products from the mining area to the processing unit or storage using the tool fit excavator ( back hoe ) , a power shovel or wheel loader . Conveyance is used dump truck , or by means of slurry is pumped through a modified pipes directly to the ship .

3. Processing.

The process of quartz sand processing depending on the usability and requirements needed either as raw material or for direct use. To obtain the required specifications laundering efforts to eliminate impurities compounds .
For some use sometimes done processing quartz sand to form sand grains become rounded. In addition, to get the required size fine grinding, eg for glass industry.

PURPOSE AND SPECIFICATIONS .

1. Usability .

In industrial activities , the use of quartz sand has been grown extensively , either directly as the main raw material and follow-up materials . As the main raw material , for example glass used in the glass industry , cement , tiles , mosaic tiles, raw materials ferro silicon , silicon carbide materials abrasit ( sandpaper and sand blasting ). Meanwhile, as a follow-up, for example in the industry cast, and the petroleum industry of mining , refractory bricks ( refractory ) , and so forth.

1.1 Mining and Petroleum Industries .

Utilization of quartz sand mining and petroleum industries ( drilling ) is a filter that is better known as gravel pack sand ( GPS ) . Size is determined by the strength of quartz sand resistance test strength parameters are determined by the depth of drilling and pressure that will be suffered by the quartz sand . Quartz sand size requirements that meet the standards to be used as a GPS .
Other requirements needed for GPS is Sphericity and Roundnes . In general , if the form of rounded grains of quartz sand approach and does not have the angle of the quartz sand prices higher. GPS on the Mining and Petroleum Industries utilized as anchoring materials that can clog the filter tool mounted on the casing or drill pipe.
In addition, the GPS function to increase the permeability formations , so that the flow of water or oil from formations that originally shaped into a linear radial high pressure low pressure . GPS is placed between the filter tool Sumu wall .

1.2 Cement Industry .

Quartz sand in the manufacture of cement serves as a complement to the silica content of the cement produced . The content of silica for cement plants ranged 21.3 % SiO2 . If the composition of SiO2 quartz sand added yet achieved . Quartz sand usage in this industry vary depending on the silica content of other raw materials , usually ranging between 6-7 % .

1.3 . Ceramic Industries .

In the ceramic industry , quartz sand is forming ceramic bodies along with other raw materials , such as kaolin , clay , feldspar , and dyes . Quartz sand is generally forming properties of glazing on ceramic body , so the shape is slick and easy to clean . In addition , quartz sand as a material having properties that can simplify board drying process , control , shrinkage , and to frame the ceramic body.
Ceramic materials consisting of inorganic nonmetallic materials have crystalline phases and alloy production process requires the presence of high temperature heating . Based on the function and structure , the resulting ceramic divided into two types , namely conventional and modern way .
In general , the conventional way of using natural materials from the amorphous phase after treatment and there was also no treatment . There are two classes of conventional industries including ceramics , namely heavy Industries in ceramics consisting of cement, mortar , refractories , abrasives , and specialty industrial and fine ceramic Industries , which is pottery / ceramic decorative , floor and wall tiles , sanitary ware , tableware drink ( table ware ) , electrical insulators , kitchenware , ceramic engineering , incandescent bulbs , bottles and glasses .
Advanced ceramics industry typically uses raw materials that have artificially pure crystalline phases . Advanced ceramic products which are marketed in the world , among other types of zirconia and sialon in the automotive industry ( engine blocks , gear ) , blades and scissors , barium titanate in industrial electrolytes tronika ( capacitors, resistors ), non - oxide ceramics (zircon nitride), magnesium nitride , silicon carbide , silicon nitride ) used for high technology kiln furniture , cutting tools , machine components , tool extraction and processing of metals and fiber optic telecommunications industry , skyscrapers , lighting , and solar power .
In general , part ceramic body consists of two parts , a body that gives the kind of force , and as a body cover ( glazuur ) so it looks more beautiful and , attractive , and easy to clean . Quartz sand that forms part glazuur .
Percentage of quartz sand in a ceramic depends on the type and usefulness of its products . Quartz sand has an important role as a shaper of ceramic body because it has a function as a controller at the time before and after the combustion process. As a control function , quartz sand must meet standard requirements .
Quartz Sand Material Percentage ( % )
Semi Porcelain 10-20
Bone China 3-14
Local User Porcelain Hotel Heat Resistant Items 20.7 to 32.2 19.6 to 27.0 12.3 to 23.0
European sanitary America 30 25
Stone Ware Europe America 30 25
Sources : Ceramic Studies , PPTM , 1994

1.4 Glass and Glass Industry.

End process of quartz sand into glass processing and glass , by the way fuses them with other materials such as soda and lime in a melting furnace. As a glass-forming material contribution silica ( SiO2 ) is very dominant . Other elements such as soda ( Na2O ) used in the melting process , while lime ( CaO and MgO ) serves as a stabilizer when the process of melting and re- forming the glass and the glass . Typically , the sulfur is added during processing to help softening glasses when melted . For the manufacture of high -quality glass that needs to be added aluminum oxide ( Al2O3 ) and to increase the resilience of B2O3 glass .
As a dye, is added during processing also with other oxides such as iron, cobalt, chromium , copper and nickel .
Requirements quartz sand for glass and glazing industry is absolutely necessary especially chemical composition and grain size distribution . The chemical composition depends on the type of glass to be created and to be able to guarantee a minimum purity requirement , are also restrictions on the content of impurities that affect the quartz sand will be used , because the unwanted impurities will interfere with the treatment process . for example, when one wants is a glass or clear glass , the amount of iron oxide would interfere with the formation of translucent colors products. Therefore to get the white and clear glass , it takes low metal oxide content and high purity silica .
Requirements and common standards used glass and glazing companies to buy quartz sand are shown .
Some companies make the glass industry classification of quartz sand into two types , namely the composition of the white sand and yellow sand with composition .
Quartz sand melting process is a process of change in a variety of feedstocks into liquid batter is homogeneous , so that the size of the fraction becomes very important . Requirements of British Standard Screens for white sand is a maximum of 2 % +28 mesh, +35 maximum of 10% and a maximum of 1% -150. While the yellow sand is a maximum of 2 % +25 mesh , +36 maximum of 10 % and a maximum of 1 % -150 .
Specialized field of building architecture , the use of glass as a major complement to organize the interior and exterior design has been greatly expanded, ie building glass , glass blocks , glass wave , the purpose of the combination of laser light and diffusion , glass fiber regulator on the theater sound systems , binoculars ( see clearly view objects ) , glass eyes , and so forth . To produce the required quality glass processing tech .
Based on the shape and usability , glass sheet can be divided into two types , namely the type of clear and plain or patterned type .
Now , these two species have been developed with advanced technology as much demand in the market . Plain glass type is done with the process liquid glass floating above the liquid metal . Special properties of plain glass has a flat surface on both sides , align perfectly , and distortion -free , for both direct and reflected image , the object is behind the glass will look bright and clear as the glass is transparency and high transmittance , surface brighter than glass polished with a polishing plate because of fire , glass thickness can be up to 19 mm with larger dimensions so as to facilitate planning of a large glass wall .  Usually , plain glass used in interior and exterior design work home , shopping malls , offices , stores and other storefronts .
Patterned glass is a glass manufacturing process by putting the dye in the form of metal oxide compounds into the liquid glass being processed . The advantage of using the patterned glass can reduce heat and glare, and has a very low power of invisibility that gives a sense of comfort for those who are in the room.
This type of glass is very useful for the design of the interior and exterior of homes, offices , shopping centers and so forth in addition , some types of specially manufactured glass , such as glass without reflection is usually used for the optical industry and laboratories , chemical resistant glass bottles for the packaging industry and medicine , and various types of processed glass for high-tech industries such as aircraft, cutting optical and so forth .
Industrial Foundry and Refractory Bricks
Utilization of quartz sand in the foundry industry , because it has a higher melting point of the metal . The function of quartz sand in this industry is as a print and foundry sand .Conditions of quartz sand for molding sand need specific criteria , such as the spread and grain smoothness , grain shape , bulk density , base permeability , clay content , water tempering , compressive strength , shear strength , and permeability .
Quartz sand in industrial refractory bricks used for construction brick forming .
Other Manufacturing Industries
The use of quartz sand in other industries , namely as a reinforcement material in the processing of rubber , filler materials ( paint industry ) , abrasive material ( industrial grinding ) , rust material ( metal industry ) , filter materials ( industrial water purification ) , the raw material in the manufacture of ferro silicon carbide , and others , such as the microchip industries ( electronics ) .

Did You Know About Batik.

Batik is one way of making fabric . Besides batik can refer to two things . The first is the technique of coloring cloth using the night to prevent staining in part of the fabric . In the international literature , this technique is known as wax - resist dyeing . The second notion is the fabric or clothing made with these techniques , including the use of certain motives which have peculiarities . Batik Indonesia , as the overall engineering , technology , and development -related motives and culture , UNESCO has been designated a Cultural Heritage for Humanity Oral and Nonbendawi (Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity) since October 2, 2009 .

Etymology.

The word "batik" is derived from the combination of two Javanese words "amba", meaning " writing " and " point " which means " point " .

History of batik technique .

Art staining fabric with stain barrier techniques using night is one of the ancient art form . The discovery in Egypt showed that this technique has been known since the 4th century BC , with the discovery mummy wrapping cloth which is also coated the night to form a pattern . In Asia , a similar technique of batik is also applied in China during the T'ang Dynasty ( 618-907 ) as well as in India and Japan during the Nara Period ( 645-794 ) . In Africa , such as batik technique known by the Yoruba tribe in Nigeria , Soninke and Wolof tribe as well as in Senegal . In Indonesia , batik is believed to have existed since the time of Majapahit , and became very popular late eighteenth century or early nineteenth century . Produced batik batik is it all until the early twentieth century and the new batik known after World War I or around the 1920's .
Although the word " batik " is derived from the Javanese , the presence of batik in Java itself is not recorded . G.P. Rouffaer found batik technique is likely introduced from India or Sri Lanka in the 6th century or the 7th .
On the other hand , J.L.A. Brandes ( Dutch archaeologist ) and F.A. Sutjipto ( Indonesian historians ) believe that the tradition of batik is a native of the area such as Toraja , Flores , Halmahera , and Papua . It should be noted that the area is not an area that is influenced by Hinduism but known to the ancient tradition of batik making .
G.P. Rouffaer gringsing also reported that the pattern has been known since the 12th century in Kediri , East Java . He concluded that this pattern can only be formed by using a canting , so he argues that the canting is found in Java in the period surrounding it . Detailed carvings that resemble the patterns of batik cloth worn by Prajnaparamita , the statue of the Buddhist goddess of wisdom from East Java, 13th century . Detailed clothing featuring vines pattern and intricate flowers that are similar to traditional Javanese batik patterns that can be found today .
This suggests that making intricate batik patterns that can only be made ​​with a canting has been known in Java since the 13th century or even earlier .
Legend in Malay literature of the 17th century , Sulalatus Salatin tells Admiral Hang Nadim ordered by Sultan Mahmud to sail to India to get 140 pieces of fabric litter with 40 kinds of flower patterns on each page . Being unable to fulfill the order, he made ​​himself the fabrics . But unfortunately shipwrecked on the way home and only capable of carrying four pieces that make the Emperor disappointed.
In European literature , batik technique was first described in the book History of Java ( London , 1817 ) writings of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles . He had been a British governor of Java during Napoleon occupied the Netherlands . In 1873 a Dutch merchant Van Rijekevorsel gave a piece of batik obtained during a visit to Indonesia to the Ethnic Museum in Rotterdam and at the beginning of the 19th century that began batik reached its golden period . When exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900 , Indonesian batik riveting public and artists .
Since the industrialization and globalization , which introduces automation techniques , new types emerged batik , known as batik cap and batik prints , while traditional batik produced by the technique of handwriting using canting and night is called batik . Hugh Clifford recording industry in 1895 to produce the Week batik , rainbow fabric , and the fabric telepok .

Batik culture .

R.A. heroine Kartini and her husband wearing a batik skirt . Batik motifs used machetes Kartini is a pattern to the nobles
Batik is a craft that has high artistic value and has become part of the culture of Indonesia ( especially Java ) since long . Javanese women in the past made ​​their skills in batik for a living , so in the past batik work is exclusively women's work until the invention of " Batik Cap " which allows the entry of men into the field . There are some exceptions to this phenomenon , namely the coastal batik masculine lines as can be seen in shades of " Mega Clouds", which in some coastal areas batik work is common for men .
The tradition of batik was originally a hereditary tradition , so that occasionally a recognizable motif batik originated from a particular family . Some batik may indicate the status of a person . Even today , some traditional ' batik motif is only used by the family palace of Yogyakarta and Surakarta .
Batik is the ancestral heritage of Indonesia ( Java ) that until now still exist . Batik is also first introduced to the world by President Suharto , who was then wearing batik at the UN Conference .

Batik patterns .

Batik variety of shades and colors are influenced by various foreign influences .
Initially , batik has a variety of shades and colors are limited , and some patterns may only be used by certain circles . However, coastal batik absorb various external influences , such as foreign traders and also in the end , the invaders . Bright colors like red popularized by the Chinese , who also popularized the style phoenix . European colonial nations are also taking interest in batik , and the result is a style previously unknown flowers ( like tulips ) and also objects brought by the colonizers ( the building or horse-drawn carriage ) , including their favorite colors like blue. Retain traditional batik s type , and is still used in traditional ceremonies , because usually each style has a representation of each .
ways of making
Originally batik made ​​on material with white color made ​​of cotton cloth called mori . Today the batik is also made on other materials such as silk , polyester , rayon and other synthetic materials . Motif formed by the liquid wax by using a tool called a canting for subtle motifs , or brush for large motif , so that the liquid wax to seep into the fabric fibers . Fabrics that have been painted with wax and then dyed with the desired color , usually starting from a young colors . Immersion then taken to another motif with color or black older . After some time the coloring process , which has dibatik cloth dipped in chemicals to dissolve the wax .

Types of batik .

According to the technique .

Batik is a cloth that is decorated with textures and patterns of batik by hand . This type of batik making takes approximately 2-3 months .
Batik cap is decorated with fabric textures and patterns created with batik cap ( usually made ​​of copper ) . This type of batik making process takes approximately 2-3 days .
Batik painting is the process of making batik with a direct way to paint on a white cloth .

According to the origin of manufacture .

Javanese batik .

Java Batik art is a cultural heritage of Indonesia , especially Java -controlled areas of the Javanese people from generation to generation . Javanese Batik motifs have different . This motif is common difference dikarnakan motives that have meaning , the purpose is not just an image but implies that they can from their ancestors , namely religion animism , dynamism , or Hindus and Buddhists . Javanese Batik in many developing regions Solo or commonly referred to as Solo batik .

Meaning and Meaning of Various Motif Batik fabric .

Meaning and Meaning of Various Batik . Batik is one type of painting on cloth using the night and canthing . Batik is a traditional heritage that has become part of the lives of the people of Indonesia Central Java and Yogyakarta is famous as the origin of batik . Batik has a deep philosophy , especially concerning the meaning of the motif motifs described above in the fabric sheets . The philosophy that relates to harmonization among humans , between humans and nature , and man and the creator , and the hope of a better life . Everything is contained in the motifs and ornamentation that characterizes batik cloth . Batik has many motives . And each motif has a deep meaning and significance that deserve to ponder . In the past not all can be used batik fabric just anyone . There are certain motives are off limits to ordinary people and can only be imposed by the royal family . Here are some articles about the sense and meaning of batik motifs that must be known by everyone so that continuity can be maintained .

Batik meaning .

Motif Sido Luhur .
Batik Sido Luhur.

 This motif implies nobleness . For Javanese people , life is aiming for the material and non- material sublime . Nobility of the material means any bodily needs could be fulfilled by working hard in accordance with the position , rank , degree , or profession . While virtue , speech , and action is non-material form of nobility .

Sido Drajad Motive.

Sido Drajad Motive.

Batik Sido Drajad besan when worn by the wedding ceremony . How to use batik also has its own educational value . For children wear batik belt wolo manner . In philosophy , the use of belt wolo moral freely interpreted , in accordance with the souls of children who are still free , immature , and yet has a moral responsibility in society . When someone wearing teen with jarit . Long jarit has its own meaning . The longer , the higher the degree of a person . For adults use differ between men and women . In men , the pleat is placed on the left , while in women , pleat placed on the right , which means nengeni , a princess must not violate the will of the husband .

Sido Mukti motif .

Sido Mukti motif .

This motif contains a wealth of meaning . To the Javanese , who live apart coveted virtue , speech , and action , is the attainment of mukti or prosperity , both in this world and the hereafter . Everyone should be able to control the passions , pleasures wag reduce tetanggam do good without harming others , and so on .

Motif Slobog

Motif Slobog

Slobog be interpreted lobok or loose . The fabric used for the funeral , with the aim that the deceased had no trouble facing the almighty .

Motif Patch

Motif Patch

Appears confidence in Javanese society , when using this fabric as a blanket while sick , he will recover quickly . Patched it means adding a new spirit . With the new spirit of the expected new hope will emerge so readily available cure .
Batik is part of the culture of our beloved country , Indonesia . an honor we could have a tradition of clothing called " BATIK " . with very diverse motives and very artistic .

Behind stored various batik motifs that symbolize the meaning of certain things. Here are described some motif and its meaning is  ;

Motive Udan Riris .

Motive Udan Riris .

Implies fortitude and must hold through life concerned even if hit by rain and heat.
Example : People married life , especially for the newlyweds , to be bold and willing to live concerned when many obstacles and trials , the proverbial hit by rain and heat , ill be easy to complain . Any hindrance and obstacles that must be faced and solved together . Husband or wife is part of living in the household . If one is facing the problem then partner must help resolve , not the other way just add to the problem . For example , if the husband was getting trials tempted by another woman , then she should be wise search for solutions and look for problems . Vice versa if the wife got the temptation of another man , the husband would have to be wise without prior unsuspecting superfluous evidence .

Parangkusuma Motif .

Parangkusuma Motif .

Contains the meaning of life should be guided by him to look for a fragrance born of struggle and inner , supposing the fragrance of flowers ( kusuma ) .
Example : For the Javanese , the people living in the most sought after is the main personal fragrance without leaving the prevailing norms and manners in order to avoid disaster interchangeable born & inner . Although tough to be realized , but generally the Javanese hoping to find that perfect inner and outer life . Moreover, in an age that is completely open now , really tough to reach to the level of life as expected , because a lot of temptation . In this materialistic age , people are more likely to find a name redolent with money by buying proprietary , instead of personal behavior and that good .

Parikshit motif .

Parikshit motif .

Implies that uttk seek virtue must be based on the effort and agile . Sure it's hard work and agile without having to leave the norms prevailing in society . Not the other way effort and agile with a dirty way , would be greatly avoided . Because the impact will be very heavy embossed clear & will surely backfire for himself alone . With effort and agile that is expected to build a nuclear family who was born and inner peace .

Kawung motif .

Kawung motif .

Implies that strong desire and effort will always produce results , like rejekinya doubled . Already the law of karma , that the people who work hard will reap results , although sometimes have to take a long time .
Example: a farmer who worked diligently in the fields, if cut no aggravating pests, he would harvest rice which doubled at a later date . But unfortunately , the work culture everything to reap the most ill done by everyone . Especially today , where eager almost instantaneous , people want to get rich quickly without working hard . Want to get rich quick with how corruption , robbing , deceiving , and any other blemish action . For work habits everything to reap the maximum that SDH is often taught by our ancestors since the first Javanese . Hard work to produce the folded fortune would be more meaningful if accompanied with saving attitude , conscientious , meticulous , extravagant and ill .

Truntum motif .

Truntum motif .

Meaning to grow and thrive . Thus , the Javanese always crave for every new family that have children who will soon replace the previous generation interchangeable . That new generation that will be the foundation of any new family who recently married For forward all expectations and ideals of the family as well as the next generation of biologically inherited traits that offspring of a new family . Hope it always appears when a new family is formed .
Phrases soon have offspring solih & Solihah, useful for family, community, religion, and the state is often heard when there is a wedding ceremony.Because it is from a new family that is expected to develop other new families . While others said that the motive for this truntum beginning created by the Surakarta royal relatives who were distressed because they feel neglected by the king . In the midst of solitude that he saw in the sky in the middle of the night many stars sparkling accompany her loneliness within . Inspiration that is captured and forth within the motif .

Sidaluhur motif .

Sidaluhur motif .

Implies nobleness . For the Javanese , life is sublime him to look for the material and non-material . Virtue means the material can be fulfilled all the bodily needs with hard work in accordance with the position , rank , degree , or profession .
