Utilization of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch in Cement Bricks

Journal of Advanced Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2021
Oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) is a biomass waste abundantly produced by the oil palm industry in Malaysia. To minimize the environmental impacts, it needs to be properly disposed of or being rapidly consumed as a raw material of another industry. This study investigated the feasibility of substituting EFB in cement bricks, which is in high demand by

Production of carotenoids from oil palm empty fruit bunches

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020
Abstract Carotenoids are widely used for food colorants to give yellow, orange, or red color in food products. Besides extraction from orange color vegetables/fruits such as carrot, yellow squash, or oil palm, natural carotenoids can also be extracted from microorganisms such as algae or fungi.

Characterization of pyrolysis products of oil palm empty fruit bunch

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) is a waste product in the palm oil industry. Currently, EFB has not been optimally utilized because of its low calorific value. The purpose of this research is to analyze the potential of EFB conversion into solid (biochar), liquid (bio-oil), and synthesis gas (syngas). The experiment was carried
