Composting of palm press fibre
Biological Wastes, 1989Abstract The effects of composting palm press fibre alone, palm press fibre supplemented with poultry layer deep-litter and urea, and palm press fibre supplemented with poultry broiler floor-litter and urea were studied. The initial C:N ratios of the three mixtures were 40:1, 33:1 and 26:1, respectively.

Cement and Concrete Composites, 2005
Abstract The study examines four types of date palm surface fibres and determines their mechanical and physical properties. In addition, the properties of date palm fibre-reinforced concrete, such as strength, continuity index, toughness and microstructure, are given as a function of curing in water and in a hot-dry climate.

Briquetting of palm fibre and shell from the processing of palm nuts to palm oil
Biomass and Bioenergy, 2002Abstract Malaysia is the major producer of palm oil in the world. It produces 8.5 million tonnes per year ( 8.5×10 6 t y −1 ) of palm oil from 38.6×10 6 t y −1 of fresh fruit bunches. Palm oil production generates large amounts of process residues such as fibre ( 5.4×10 6 t y −1 ), shell (

Effect of different fibre treatment of oil palm fibre reinforced polyester composite
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2020The use of Oil Palm Fibre (OPF) from Empty Fruit Bunches as a reinforcement of a composite has grown in interest as it has the potential to yield up to 73% of the fibre hence it is preferable in terms of availability and cost. This article focuses on the effect of alkali treatment by using Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) towards the tensile properties and ...

Rigid polyurethane/oil palm fibre biocomposite foam
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2017Rigid polyurethane (PU) biocomposite foam had been successfully prepared by reacting palm oil-derived polyol (PO-p) with polymeric 4, 4-diphenylmethane diisocynate (p-MDI). Two types of alkali-treated oil palm fibres namely, empty fruit bunch (EFB) and palm pressed fibre (PPF) were used as fillers to be incorporated into PU foam at 2.5 wt%, 5 wt% and 7.

Stress relaxation behaviour in oil palm fibres
Materials Letters, 2001The tensile stress relaxation behaviour of individual oil palm empty fruit bunch fibre was investigated. Effect of fibre surface modifications, physical ageing and strain level on the relaxation behaviour of the fibre was analysed. Stress relaxation of the fibres was reduced considerably with surface treatments, like latex modification, due to the ...

Machinability of glass/date palm fibre epoxy composites
International Journal of Machining and Machinability of Materials, 2014Nowadays, there is interest in using natural fibres as reinforcement for polymer composites for different applications to replace synthetic fibre composites. In this paper, the machinability of epoxy composites based on date palm fibres is evaluated in terms of hole accuracy, entry and exit delamination factor, specific cutting pressure, surface ...

Oil Palm Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites: A Review
Progress in Rubber, Plastics and Recycling Technology, 2009In recent years there has been growing interest in utilising natural fibres as reinforcement in polymer composites for making low-cost construction materials. Hitherto, the use of natural fibres has been more traditional than technical. These fibres have long served many useful purposes, but the application of material technology for the utilisation ...

Design and Manufacture of Palm Nut/Fibre Separator
Advanced Materials Research, 2009Sorting of palm nuts from palm fruit cake, a byproduct obtained after palm oil has been extracted from the batch of digested palm fruit, is burdensome especially to small-scale entrepreneurs involved in palm oil processing business in Africa. This paper has triumphed over the perceived difficulties by using the knowledge of processing engineering to ...

Kinetic studies of copper ion adsorption on palm kernel fibre
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2006Palm kernel fibre is a common agricultural waste in West Africa and its use as an adsorbent for the removal of copper ions from aqueous solution has been studied. Batch kinetics studies were carried out based on the assumption of the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, which was developed to predict the rate constant of adsorption, the equilibrium ...
