Abstract

The use of conventional solvents in the oil paint industry often leads to volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and toxicity, so this study aims to evaluate the potential of Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) as an environmentally friendly alternative solvent. FAME is synthesised from vegetable oil through a transesterification reaction, then formulated into alkyd resin-based paints with varying binder content (40%, 50%, and 60%) to be compared with acetone solvent. The paint performance evaluation includes tests on drying time, gloss level, hiding power, and Whiteness and Yellowness Index. The results show that FAME-based paints have a much higher gloss level (10–26 GU) than acetone (3–6 GU) because their slower evaporation rate provides optimal levelling time, though this results in much longer drying time, namely 780–819 minutes. In addition, FAME has been proven to produce better covering power and a lower Yellowness Index (1.39–4.15) than acetone (4.09–5.74). This superiority is influenced by the nature of FAME, which minimises damage to the polymer binder and uniformly disperses pigments, preventing agglomeration. Overall, FAME has great potential as a sustainable paint solvent that can improve optical and physical properties, although its formulation still requires optimisation to accelerate drying.

Abstract

Peatlands in Riau Province have great potential as a water source, but their quality often fails to meet standards due to high organic matter content and levels of heavy metals such as iron (Fe), which can pose health risks. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various types of activated carbon derived from agricultural waste and biomass in reducing iron (Fe) levels in peat water through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on the PRISMA 2020. A total of 8 relevant articles from the Google Scholar and ScienceDirect databases were analyzed, covering the use of materials such as empty oil palm fruit bunches, bintaro fruit shells, bamboo stalks, tofu residue, shrimp shells, corn cobs, coffee grounds, and natural zeolite. The results of the study indicate that the activation process, whether physical or chemical (using activators such as H₃PO₄, HCl, or KOH), is crucial in enhancing the porosity and surface area of activated carbon to optimize adsorption capacity. The highest iron (Fe) reduction efficiency reached 99.66% and was achieved using corn cob activated carbon activated with 0.25 M HCl at 400°C. Overall, the use of biomass waste as an adsorbent is not only effective and economical in improving peat water quality but also supports sustainable waste management.
