The study of soil carried out from oil palm plantation soils at Garuda sakti street, Tapung, Kampar, Riau has been implemented since November 2019 to March 2020. This study aims to determine magnetic susceptibility, mass susceptibility, magnetic degree and to identify soil compositions and the content of heavy metals in the soils and to analyse the influence of content of heavy metals to the magnetic susceptibility. The samples were taken about one hundred points, then the samples were dried, cleaned, mashed and sifted. Magnetic susceptibility was measured using the Probe Magnetic Pasco PS-2162. Magnetic particles were separated from samples using the NdFeB magnet and identification of soil composition and the content of heavy metals were carried out using the XRF. The result shows that the value of magnetic susceptibility, mass susceptibility, magnetic degree are fluctuated and the compositon of the soils are Mg, Al, Si, P, K, Fe, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Zn S, Cl, Co, Cu, Ga, Ge, As, Br, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ag, Eu, Re and Pb and proved that soil has been contaminated by heavy metals such as V, Cr, Al, Fe, Ti and Sr from the soils until increase the Magnetic susceptibility of that soils.
The magnetic susceptibility and heavy metal content of oil palm plantations soil has been determined. The magnetic particles of the soil were separated from non-magnetic particles using neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnet. The magnetic induction of the soil was measured using Pasco Probe PS-2162. The magnetic susceptibility value on the surface of the oil palm plantation soil varies between (685.99 to 1081.96) × 10 −5. This value is higher than the reference soil magnetic susceptibility that is 457.30 × 10 −5. The magnetic susceptibility values decrease as soil depth increases and at a depth of 40 cm the magnetic susceptibility value is close to the value of reference soil magnetic susceptibility. The X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF) test result showed that the plantation soil has been contaminated with Cr, Fe, Ti, Sr, and V, this is in accordance with the magnetic susceptibility value of the plantation soil surface which is higher than that of the reference soil.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
