Abstract

A high quantity of organic waste without proper waste management can endanger public health and environmental sustainability. To reduce the risk that can be caused by organic waste pollution, then there should be a solution. One of them is to make eco-enzyme. Eco-enzyme is a fermented solution from organic waste that can be used as floor cleaner, plant disinfectant, hand sanitiser, plant fertilizer, etc. A good eco-enzyme solution has special properties. One of them is the low-value power of Hydrogen (pH). In this study, other physical properties of eco-enzyme are analyzed. Eco-enzyme was produced from organic waste. Here, Sunkist orange peel and various mixtures of orange peel were used as the main materials of eco-enzyme. The eco-enzyme solutions were carried out for 33 days, accompanied by routine monitoring by reviewing physical parameters such as pH, Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), and Electrical Conductivity (EC) values. The results showed the characteristics of the eco-enzyme product by physical properties are the eco-enzyme has an acidic with a low pH value (<3.6) accompanied by high values of TDS (>1000 ppm) and EC (>1500mS/cm). The finding is TDS and EC have high value whereas usually high EC and TDS are owned by polluted liquids.

Abstract

The Ciuyah Mud Volcano in West Java is a notable geological feature resulting from mud extrusion driven by subsurface pressure, buoyancy, and thermal variations. Its unique characteristics provide valuable insights into Earth's subsurface processes. Materials ejected from mud volcanoes often contain valuable minerals that are crucial for scientific investigation and economic application. Of particular interest at this site is the presence of Rare Earth Elements (REEs), which are vital for modern technology. The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive characterisation of the Ciuyah Mud Volcano. The objectives are to: (1) determine its physicochemical properties using electrical conductivity (EC), volumetric water content (VWC), and total dissolved solids (TDS) measurements; (2) identify the distribution of REEs using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES); and (3) analyze the salt mineralogy using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The results revealed high conductivity in the mud, as evidenced by elevated EC and VWC values, as well as high TDS and salinity in the water samples. XRF and ICP-OES analyses confirmed the presence of twelve REEs: Ce, Dy, Eu, Gd, Ho, La, Nd, Pr, Sm, Tb, Sc, and Y. Furthermore, SEM and XRD identified Halite and Helvite as the primary salt minerals, characterized by large, hexagonal crystal structures. These findings highlight the potential of the Ciuyah Mud Volcano as a source of strategic REEs for Indonesia’s advanced materials and clean energy sectors, while also offering local socioeconomic applications, such as salt-based cosmetic products.
