This research aimed to investigate the distribution, volume, and concentration of iron sand at Wari Ino Beach Tobelo. The resistivity method with Werner-Schlumberger configuration was applied to investigate the iron sand distribution. The measurements were set-up on 3 lines that run parallel along the coast of Wari Ino Village. The length of each trajectory was 150 meters with a spacing of 10 meters for each electrode. Data acquisition was carried out by using geoelectric instruments to obtain current injection (I) and voltage (V). The analysis was carried out by using RES2DINV and ROCKWORK software to obtain 2-D and 3-D cross-section models for interpreting the distribution and volume of the iron sand. The analysis and interpretation were supported by geological data of the location. Furthermore, the Fe content was characterized by using X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF). There results show that the volume of the iron sand in each trajectory was 109,355 m3; 180,254 m3; and 120,556 m3. The total volume of iron sand along the three trajectories was up to 405,335 m3. The Fe content in the form of a free element is 67.41%, 57.12%, and 73.40%. The Fe content in the form of hematite mineral (Fe2O3) was 57.92%, 45.82%, and 65.47%.
Fe3O4 encapsulated PEG form iron sand at wari ino beach has been successfully synthesized by co-precipitation method. The average particle size of the nanoparticle 11,3 nm was determined by scherrer formula. Fe3O4 modification PEG 4000 was successfully encapsulated the samples by the presence C-O-C and CH bonding that were characterized using Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern shows that all samples are formed by single phase cubic spinel magnetite , and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) shows the high dispersion capability while encapsulated process using PEG. The results of the characterization show that the Fe3O4 successfully encapsulated by PEG 4000.
