Effects of calcium competition on lead sorption by palm kernel fibre

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2005
The kinetics of sorption of a mono-solute of lead ions and of a bi-solute of lead and calcium ions onto palm kernel fibre was investigated in a batch system. The experimental data were analysed based on an intraparticle diffusion equation and a pseudo-second-order mechanism, in both the mono- and bi-solute sorption systems, in order to predict the rate

Initial properties and ageing behaviour of pineapple leaf and palm fibre as reinforcement for polypropylene

Journal of Thermoplastic Composite Materials, 2016
In the furniture, automotive and contruction industries, there is increased demand for cost-effective and lightweight biocomposites. The objective of this work was to develop new natural fibre-based composites with specific properties. Palm and pineapple leaf fibres were chosen in association with polypropylene (PP).

Sorption of copper by dye-treated oil-palm fibres

Bioresource Technology, 1993
Abstract Both dye-treated and natural oil-palm fibres from a palm-oil mill were used to remove copper and related heavy metal cations from solutions. The sorption of copper for both types of fibres was studied under various conditions, the parameters being effect of pH, initial concentrations, presence of other metal cations and chelators.

Machinability of glass/date palm fibre epoxy composites

International Journal of Machining and Machinability of Materials, 2014
Nowadays, 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 ...

Pulp and paper from oil palm fibres

Revista Palmas, 1998
Malasia es el productor líder de aceite de palma, con aproximadamente el 52% de la producción mundial de este aceite y el 8,7% de la producción de aceites y grasas del mundo. Para mantener la ventaja competitiva de la industria se han adoptado varias estrategias, una de las cuales es la estrategia de cero desechos.

Oil Palm Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites: A Review

Progress in Rubber, Plastics and Recycling Technology, 2009
In 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 ...

EXPLORING THE USE OF PALM KERNEL SHELL AND PALM FIBRE AS SUSTAINABLE AGGREGATES IN CONCRETE

Malaysian Journal of Civil Engineering
Palm kernel shells and palm fibres are leftover materials from the palm oil industry. However, they are not fully utilized and encounter disposal issues, particularly in Malaysia where they are produced in large quantities. This research aims to enhance sustainability and reduce palm waste disposal in Malaysia by exploring the potential of substituting

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF COMPRESSED EARTH BLOCKS REINFORCED WITH NATURAL FIBRES: ALFA FIBRES, DATE PALM FIBRES AND BARLEY STRAW FIBRES

JP Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer
This study examines the impact of incorporating natural fibres (Alfa, date palm, and barley straw) on the performance of compressed earth blocks (CEBs). The mechanical, thermal, and durability properties of reinforced CEBs were analyzed through tests on compressive and flexural strength, thermal conductivity, water absorption, porosity, and swelling ...
