Abstract

The limited research on the use of pineapple and orange peel waste as base materials for eco enzyme production forms the background of this study, despite their high potential as environmentally friendly solutions for organic waste management. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of eco enzyme produced from the fermentation of pineapple and orange peel waste, through phosphorus and potassium tests, as well as measurements of pH and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). The method employed combines a qualitative approach for phosphorus and potassium testing with a quantitative approach for pH and TDS measurements, using samples from various fruit peel fermentation treatments. The results showed that the resulting eco enzyme had a yellowish-brown, slightly turbid appearance, with relatively high TDS values due to dissolved solid content. The pH values ranged from 3.5 to 4, indicating acidity influenced by organic acids formed during fermentation. Content analysis showed positive results for phosphorus and potassium, supporting its potential use as a liquid organic fertilizer, along with the presence of flavonoids that support its application as a household cleaner or natural disinfectant. The study concludes that pineapple and orange peel waste is an effective and sustainable raw material for eco enzyme production, offering both economic and ecological benefits in household organic waste management.

Abstract

Textile dye wastewater contamination, particularly by Rhodamine B, is a serious environmental problem because it is toxic and difficult to degrade naturally. This study aimed to synthesize and evaluate the photocatalytic performance of pure CuO nanoparticles and Ag-doped CuO for the degradation of Rhodamine B. The materials were synthesized using the sol–gel method with an Ag doping concentration of 0.2 mmol. The optical properties were characterized using UV–Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-DRS) in the wavelength range of 185–1100 nm to determine the bandgap energy values using the Kubelka–Munk equation. Photocatalytic activity was tested through the degradation of Rhodamine B under visible light irradiation, with absorbance measurements obtained using a UV–Vis spectrophotometer at a maximum wavelength of 554 nm. The results showed that Ag doping reduced the CuO bandgap from 1.4819 eV to 1.2539 eV. Photocatalytic tests revealed that Ag-doped CuO exhibited higher activity than pure CuO, with Rhodamine B degradation reaching 60.55% at 90 minutes of irradiation, compared with only 32.72% for pure CuO at the same reaction time. This enhanced photocatalytic activity is associated with the role of Ag in suppressing electron–hole recombination, increasing light absorption through the surface plasmon effect, and providing more active sites on the catalyst surface. These findings confirm that Ag-doped CuO has promising potential as an effective photocatalyst for the treatment of textile dye wastewater and the control of environmental pollution.
