Bio-augmentation and bio-stimulation with kenaf core enhanced bacterial enzyme activities during bio-degradation of petroleum hydrocarbon in polluted soil [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIndigenous micro-organisms often possess the ability to degrade petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC) in polluted soil. However, this process can be improved by supplementing with nutrients or the addition of more potent microbes.

Evaluation of Kenaf Core for Broiler Litter
Poultry Science, 1990 Abstract The suitability as broiler litter of the core from the kenaf plant (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) was evaluated in two floor-pen experiments. Experiment 1 compared fresh kenaf core particles (FKC) to fresh pine sawdust (FPS); Experiment 2 evaluated FKC, FPS, reused kenaf, and reused sawdust (from Experiment 1) and a 2-cm layer of FKC on top of are

Procedia Chemistry, 2016 AbstractThe kenaf core powder has been treated with benzoyl chloride in PVC/ENR/kenaf core powder composites. The presence of benzoyl chloride grafting on kenaf core powder was evident by infrared analysis. PVC/ENR/kenaf core powder composite samples were prepared using Haake Polydrive at 140°C, with different untreated and treated kenaf core powder ...
