Abstract

The increasing population has resulted in a higher volume of waste at the Galuga landfill, generating leachate that potentially contaminates the surrounding shallow groundwater. Groundwater serves as a crucial source for domestic needs; thus, its contamination poses serious health risks and threatens ecological balance. This study aims to analyze the quality of shallow groundwater around the Galuga landfill and to map its spatial distribution as a foundation for sustainable environmental monitoring and management. The research methods included collecting groundwater samples from seven representative points along the groundwater flow direction, analyzing physical parameters (temperature, pH, turbidity), chemical parameters (Fe, Mn, NO₃⁻, and Cl⁻), and microbiological parameters (E. coli and total coliform), followed by calculating the Water Quality Index (WQI) using the NSF-WQI method. The findings revealed that several parameters, particularly Fe, Mn, E. coli, and total coliform, exceeded the permissible drinking water standards established by the Indonesian Ministry of Health Regulation No. 492/Menkes/Per/IV/2010. The average WQI score of 61.30 indicates a moderate water quality category. Therefore, it can be concluded that the shallow groundwater surrounding the Galuga landfill has been contaminated and is not suitable for direct consumption as drinking water. Consequently, it is recommended to implement more effective leachate management systems and conduct regular groundwater quality monitoring to prevent further contamination and safeguard community health and environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) contain 27.78% lignin, which can serve as an alternative source of renewable fulvic acid, alongside soil and coal. This study aims to conduct the fulvic acid extraction process using a microwave extractor. The extraction process was carried out using H2O2 solvents with concentrations of 18, 21, and 24% and various sample types (OPEFB, shilajit, and commercial fulvic acid fertilizer), with three repetitions. The resulting liquid fulvic acid extract was then made into powder using freeze-drying. Quantitative testing was conducted using the spectrophotometric method, while qualitative testing employed Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (¹H NMR), spectrofluorometry, a CHN analyzer, and Thermogravimetric Analysis - Differential Scanning Calorimetry (TGA-DSC). The results showed that the best solvent concentration for the fulvic acid extraction process was H2O2, 21% of the total in the OPEFB sample. The highest fulvic acid content was found in the OPEFB sample at 23.59%; in the shilajit sample, it was 9.62%, and in the commercial fulvic acid fertilizer sample, it was 6.97%. The characterization results from spectrophotometric analysis, elemental analysis, and TGA-DSC analysis showed the potential of fulvic acid in the OPEFB sample, as it exhibited similarities with the analysis results of commercial fulvic acid (shilajit & commercial fulvic acid fertilizer).
