Abstract

Groundwater hydrogeochemistry and water quality assessment have been conducted in western Tuban, Indonesia, which is characterized by its karstic features based on physicochemical parameters (pH, electric conductivity, total dissolved solids, hardness, Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe3+, Mn2+, K+, Na+, Li+, NH4+, HCO3-, Cl-, SO42-, NO2-, and NO3-) from 25 shallow groundwater samples. The Piper diagram implies the groundwater is of HCO3–Ca+Mg type with some Na+K–SO4+Cl type meaning that the groundwater in Western Tuban is influenced by the silicate minerals weathering, the dissolution of carbonate lithology, and seawater intrusion. Durov diagram shows that the evolution of groundwater is influenced by ion exchange with clay minerals and by mixing with seawater. The Gibbs diagram indicates that the change in the chemistry and quality of groundwater is caused by a dominance of rock-water interaction in the Western Tuban. The water quality assessment based on the USSL and Wilcox diagrams indicates a high level of salinity and relatively low sodium, meaning that the suggested crops should have good salt tolerance, and the cultivated soil should still be able to handle the relatively low sodium level for irrigation.

Abstract

As global demand for REEs continues to rise due to their strategic role in clean energy technologies, geothermal systems offer an emerging unconventional source. Although data on Indonesian geothermal REEs remain limited, geochemical signals from Mount Slamet provide valuable insights when interpreted alongside global analogs. This study investigates the occurrence, mobility, and potential of rare earth elements (REEs) in the active geothermal system of Mount Slamet, Central Java, Indonesia, with a focus on the hot spring manifestations in Baturraden and Guci using a systematic literature review method based on published research. Baturraden exhibits neutral fluids (pH 6–7) with elevated chloride levels, suggesting enhanced REEs mobilization and strong positive europium (Eu) anomalies under deeper reducing conditions. In contrast, Guci displays more alkaline fluids (pH ~8) with lower chloride content, indicating possible meteoric water dilution and lower REEs transport efficiency. These contrasting hydrochemical profiles highlight diverse water-rock interaction mechanisms and fluid pathways. The findings highlight Mount Slamet as a promising candidate for REEs exploration in a volcanic-related geothermal system. This study underscores the urgent need for systematic research on REEs geochemistry in Indonesian geothermal fields to support mineral diversification and sustainable energy transitions.
