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.

Abstract

Rising CO₂ emissions from industrial sectors drive the development of efficient and flexible carbon capture technologies. This review discusses membrane-based CO₂ capture with emphasis on membrane materials, transport mechanisms, and performance challenges under realistic operating conditions. The literature shows that polymer membranes, facilitated transport membranes, mixed matrix membranes, carbon molecular sieve membranes, and porous inorganic membranes each offer distinct advantages and limitations in permeability, selectivity, stability, and cost. Key challenges include low CO₂ partial pressure in post-combustion capture, the effects of moisture and contaminants, and material degradation such as plasticization and physical aging. Further progress requires material innovation, process optimization, and economic assessment to improve stability, efficiency, and industrial competitiveness in low-carbon applications

Abstract

This community service activity aims to utilize eggshell waste from household businesses as raw material for Liquid Organic Fertilizer (POC) to support sustainable agriculture in Siak Regency. The main problems faced by partners are high dependence on inorganic fertilizers, rising production costs, and suboptimal utilization of local organic waste. The activity was carried out through the stages of POC production, counseling, demonstrations, discussions, and product distribution to farmer groups. The POC formulation was made from eggshells, water, molasses, and EM4, then fermented for seven days. The results showed that the POC product had good physical characteristics, with changes in pH indicating optimal fermentation. The counseling and hands-on practice also increased farmers' knowledge and skills in processing eggshell waste into fertilizer that can be used independently. This program has the potential to reduce dependence on inorganic fertilizers, reduce production costs, and open up opportunities for the development of other organic waste-based products. Thus, this activity supports the implementation of sustainable agriculture and a circular economy at the community level.

Abstract

Eco-enzymes produced from fruit and vegetable waste are increasingly used for waste valorization and natural disinfection, but the combined effects of sugar type, fermentation duration and dilution on their quality remain unclear. This study examined eco-enzymes from mixed fruit peels prepared with granulated sugar, brown sugar and molasses, fermented for 1, 2 and 3 months, and diluted to 20%, 10%, 1%, 0.2% and 0.1%. Physicochemical properties (pH, TDS) and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were measured; data were analysed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s test and Pearson correlation. Eco-enzymes were strongly acidic (≈3.5–3.9) at 20–10% and approached neutrality at 0.1%, with molasses-based formulations maintaining the lowest pH at high dilutions. TDS showed fermentation‑time‑dependent trends that differed between concentrated and dilute solutions. No inhibition was observed in month 1; activity appeared after ≥2 months and was highest at 3 months, with three‑month molasses eco-enzymes at 20% giving the largest inhibition zones and retaining activity at 0.1–0.2%. These findings identify molasses and extended fermentation as key levers to improve eco-enzyme performance as low-cost natural antibacterial agents.
