In this study, oil palm mesocarp fiber (OPMF) was treated with superheated steam (SHS) in order to modify its characteristics for biocomposite applications. Treatment conducted at temperatures 190–230 °C 1, 2 and 3 h. SHS-treated OPMF evaluated chemical composition, thermal stability, morphology crystallinity. 230 exhibited lower hemicellulose content (9%) compared the untreated (33%). Improved stability of found after SHS treatment. Moreover, SEM ICP analyses showed that silica bodies were...
Two different liquid assisted processing methods: internal melt-blending (IMB) and twin-screw extrusion (TWS) were performed to fabricate polyethylene (PE)/cellulose nanofiber (CNF) nanocomposites. The nanocomposites consisted maleic anhydride-grafted PE (PEgMA) as a compatibilizer, with PE/PEgMA/CNF ratio of 97/3/0.5-5 (wt./wt./wt.), respectively. Morphological analysis exhibited that CNF was well-dispersed in prepared by liquid-assisted TWS. Meanwhile, randomly oriented agglomerated...
This research studied the effects of silane treatment at different soaking time: 1, 3, 5 h, on properties new variant Yankee's Pineapple AC6 leaf fiber (PALF). The untreated and treated PALF was evaluated through several testing. Si element found all fiber's surface Energy-Dispersive X-ray, while significant peaks were clearly seen for these fibers 1317.81 1100 cm−1 by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. X-Ray Diffractor analyses showed small changes crystallinity disregards time as...
The use of biochar as an adsorbent for wastewater treatment purposes has been hindered due to its lower surface area compared activated carbon. Current research on increasing functional groups surfaces improve adsorption performance suggests using high chemical concentration and long period modification. This study solves these problems by focusing improving functionalities via the hydrothermal functionalization process. Oil palm empty fruit bunch was functionalized autoclave with nitric...
This study presents an investigation of the optimization and kinetic aspects microwave (MW) heating transesterification process for converting dairy waste scum oil (DWSO) into biodiesel using lithium impregnated calcium oxide from eggshell (Li-ECaO) as a catalyst. The was done via while varying catalyst loading (1 – 5 wt.%), methanol to molar ratio (6 18:1), temperature (55 75⁰C), reaction time in range 25 min. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) optimized parameters, yielding impressive...
