Carbonisation of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches - A Preliminary Study
The Planter, 2004Empty fruit bunches from oil palm trees were carbonised at different terminal temperatures ranging from 450°C to 750°C. When the gaseous emissions produced during the carbonisation process were collected and condensed, it was found that the condensate contained both a solid tar-like fraction and a dark coloured acidic liquid fraction.

OIL PALM EMPTY FRUIT BUNCH FILLED POLYPROPYLENE COMPOSITES
International Journal of Polymeric Materials, 2004Oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB), nowadays, has not been fully utilised economically and is always subjected to environmental concern, whereas its handling in the palm oil mill also consumes unproductive cost and energy. In this work oil palm empty fruit bunch filled polypropylene composites were prepared using solution technique and reactive ...

Potential of Palm Oil Empty Fruit Bunch as Biogas Substrate
ICONIET PROCEEDING, 2019Natural gas is a source of energy that comes from the earth which is depleting every day, an alternative source of energy is needed and one of the sources comes from biogas. There is an abundance of empty fruit bunch (EFB) that comes from palm oil plantation that can become a substrate for biogas production.

Acetylation of oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber as an adsorbent for removal of crude oil
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2016Removal of oil spillage from the environment is a global concern. Various methods, including the use of fibers as sorbents, have been developed for oil spill control. Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fiber is a plant biomass that may be acetylated by acetic anhydride using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) as a catalyst; here, the extent of acetylation may be

Mesophilic co-digestion of palm oil mill effluent and empty fruit bunches
Environmental Technology, 2013The palm oil mill industry generates palm oil mill effluent (POME) and empty fruit bunches (EFB) as by-products. This study reports the mesophilic co-digestion of POME with EFB. The biochemical methane potential (BMP) of POME and EFB was 0.397 L CH4/g volatile solids (VS) and 0.264 L CH4/g VS, respectively.

Aqueous ammonia pretreatment of oil palm empty fruit bunches for ethanol production
Bioresource Technology, 2011Oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) were pretreated by aqueous ammonia soaking for ethanol production. Pretreated EFB, which were pretreated at the optimal conditions of 60 °C, 12 h, and 21% (w/w) aqueous ammonia, showed 19.5% and 41.4% glucose yields during an enzymatic digestibility test for 96 h when using 15 and 60 FPU of cellulase, respectively ...

Acetosolv pulping for the fractionation of empty fruit bunches from palm oil industry
Bioresource Technology, 2013Influence of operational variables in the EFB pulping [acetic acid (60-95%), hydrochloric acid (0.10-0.25%) and time (60-180 min)], on the yield, drainability or beating grade, Kappa number, lignin and viscosity of pulps was studied. By using a factorial design, equations were obtained that reproduced the experimental results for the dependent ...
