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.

Aspergillus niger ATCC 6275 possesses the highest carboxymethyl-cellulase, xylanase and β-glucosidase activities under liquid and solid cultivations compared withMyceliophthora thermophila IFO 31843 and an isolate, F11. Palm cake proved to be a better substrate for enzyme production and saccharification than palm fibre.

Development of Nipah Palm Fibre Extraction Process
Materials Science Forum, 2020Nypa fruticans or locally known as nipah palm is extracted from its fronds to determine its potential as reinforcement in polymer composites. The objective of this paper is to investigate the method to extract nipah palm fiber from its fronds and to determine its diameter and density.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Application of Date-Palm Fibres for the Wastewater Treatment
2019Many industries produce large quantities of wastewater. Effluents discharged from industries are often highly polluted and could be toxic to aquatic life. Recently, alternative methods for wastewater treatment have been extensively researched. Removal of different pollutants by adsorption on lignocellulosic materials proved to be a promising, cost ...

Effect of fibre surface modification on water-sorption characteristics of oil palm fibres
Composites Science and Technology, 2003Natural fibres have proved to be an excellent reinforcement in polymers. The main disadvantage of the natural fibres to be used as reinforcement in polymers for structural applications is their hydrophilic nature. Oil palm fibres have been found to be an excellent reinforcement in phenolic matrices.
