Abstract

Eggshell is a household waste that is rich in calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) and has potential as a bio-calcium oxide (CaO) raw material. Lampung Province, one of Indonesia's egg production centers, produces a considerable number of eggshells; however, the processing has not been optimal. This study aims to evaluate the utilization of eggshells as raw material for CaO through sintering and characterization using X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The processing included washing, drying, grinding, and roasting at 900°C. XRF analysis showed a CaO content of 98.865%, with minimal impurities. The findings suggest that local eggshells can serve as an alternative raw material for CaO, supporting the circular economy in MSMEs and communities, while also being environmentally friendly for both the agricultural and industrial sectors.

Abstract

Indonesia's vast geothermal potential (23.7 GW, 40% of global reserves) faces operational challenges from silica scaling amorphous SiO₂ deposition in pipelines and equipment. This review repositions scaling from a waste problem to a strategic resource, leveraging its high silica content (88–97%), amorphous structure, and unique morphology. Through systematic literature analysis, we identify two key scaling formation pathways (heterogeneous botryoidal layers and homogeneous 3D aggregates) influenced by temperature, pH, and flow dynamics. Silica scaling exhibits high surface area (up to 50 m²/g) and mesoporosity (2–50 nm), enabling extraction via alkali-acid processing into functional materials. Impurities (Fe, Al, Ca) are transformed into value-added components for catalysts, geopolymers, and composites. We map industrial applications adsorbents, ceramic fillers, and nanostructured materials based on material properties and local scalability. This circular economy approach reduces operational costs while creating new revenue streams. Key barriers include standardization gaps and supply chain integration, necessitating industry-geothermal sector collaboration for sustainable implementation in Indonesia.
