Abstract Deep eutectic solvents are emerging green that have potential in many separation processes. This study investigates the performance of choline‐based deep extraction tocopherols and tocotrienols (collectively known as tocols) from palm oil, a major natural source tocols. comprised choline chloride salt selected carboxylic acids hydrogen bond donors were prepared used tocols crude oil by liquid–liquid extraction. Tocols concentration extracted product was at least double control (8671...
The conventional separation system for the recovery of palm kernel from its shell–kernel mixture using water as process media generates a considerable amount waste effluent that harms environment. aim this study is to develop dry by winnowing columns. A commercial consisting series five columns was developed and installed at local oil mill. parameters, including column height, blower capacity, airflow rate mesh screen size shell removal, were studied optimized ensure good in enable...
Palm oil mills discharge raw effluent with high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of about 25 000 mg O2/dm 3 .Conventional treatment system uses ponds a long hydraulic retention time 55-85 days, but the reduction BOD is usually halted at 100-250 .Further to below 20 meet regulation requirement needs further advanced treatment.This study evaluates efficiency an polishing plant installed palm mill targeting final .Characteristic incoming and treated effluent, dissolved in aeration flow rate have...
Conventional palm oil mill practice not only processes unwanted empty bunches in sterilisation stage but also produces large amount of wastewater.The extraction rate (OER) the is affected by quality fresh fruit (FFB), which may consist unripe with less content, and uneven distribution steam throughout during sterilisation.Besides FFB, mills process loose fruits either collected from plantations or detached FFB transportation to mills.As these fruitlets are void stalk core bunch, processing...
"Extraction of ferulic acid from oil palm have been carried out in the past with alkaline hydrolysis and alcoholysis. However, yields were low harsh extraction conditions not favoured. Deep eutectic solvent (DES) serves as a new medium for efficient acid. Choline chloride based DESs investigated their application pressed fibre. Two types choline investigated, chloride-acetic (ChCl-AA) chloride-citric (ChCl-CA) whereby acetic was found to be better hydrogen bond donor than citric resulted...
