Abstract:
The existence of mineral components or heavy metals affect the basic properties
of soil in term of toxic compound having function of consisting density, shear strength, water content, and elasticity. Plumbum (Pb), a heavy metal is one of inorganic materials that is abundantly contained in soil. This paper aims to determine the elasticity of Pb metal in the ground the area oil, soil type, and water content in Sebangar village Sub - district Mandau district Bengkalis. Soil samples were taken at two wells with a distance
50 m and 100 m approximately from the pumping petroleum, and two points which
embeded measurament is set with a distance of 5 m and 10 m from each well and the
depth of 50 cm, respectively. Soil samples printed cylindrical shape with a diameter of 5 cm and a length of 10 cm. The Elasticity can be determined by measuring the
propagation time of the primary and secondary waves that propagate on land using
Sonic Wave Analyzer (SOWAN) while consentration of Pb was determined using a
Atomic Absorpance Spectrometer (AAS) Shimadzu AA-7000. The results show that
the greater consentration of Pb has the greater the elasticity is obtained. The
consentration of Pb and the elasticity in wells I and II is 5 m from the well, well I has Pb
0,7410 ppm and elasticity 8,1119x107 N/m2 for 10 m Pb 0,6777 ppm and elasticity is
6,2902x107 N/m2. Well II at 5 m has consentration of Pb 0,7501 ppm and elasticity is 4,6815x107 N/m2 for 10 m Pb 0,7151 ppm and elasticity is 4,4393x107 N/m2. According to Ministry of State for Population and Enviromental of Indonesia and Dalhousie University Canada the critical limit of Pb in the soil, the clay in village Sebangar Subdistric Mandau distric Bengkalis under the limits <100 ppm has been found.
