Impacts of Addition of Palm Kernel Shells Content on Mechanical Properties of Compacted Shale Used as an Alternative Landfill Liners [PDF]
The Journal of Solid Waste Technology and Management, 2022 Wastes are mostly disposed of in landfills, which pose threat to soil and groundwater as a result of percolation of leachate. Therefore, barrier soils are required for the lining of a landfill to prevent seepage of leachate into the surrounding groundwater system.

Characteristics of Palm Kernel Shell and Palm Kernel Shell-Polymer Composites: A Review
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2021 Abstract The peculiar characteristics of Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) may have corresponding effects on polymer mono composites and hybrid composites when used as filler in polymer matrices. This review paper relates Palm Kernel Shell (PKS), palm kernel shell-mono composites, and palm kernel shell hybrid composites in terms of identification,

Potential of pretreated palm kernel shell on pyrolysis
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2023 Abstract The impact of pretreatment on palm kernel shell (PKS) with torrefaction for the possibility of pyrolysis is discussed in this study. PKS samples were torrefied at different holding times of 30 and 60 minutes at temperatures of 200, 225, 250, 275, and 300 °C. In a fixed-bed reactor with a constant nitrogen flow rate of 500 ml/min,

An appropriate relationship between flexural strength and compressive strength of palm kernel shell concrete [PDF]
LAUTECH Journal of Civil and Environmental Studies, 2016 Excessive usage of materials is causing fast depletion of natural stone deposit. This study therefore investigates the performance of palm kernel shells (PKS) and periwinkle shells (PS) as alternatives coarse aggregates in concrete. Forty cubes and 40 cylinders each were produced with PKS and PS as replacement materials for granite.

Determination of Shell Content in Palm Kernel Cake [PDF]
Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL, 1996 Abstract A method for determining shell in palm kernel cake (PKC) is described. This simple and rapid method requires little pretreatment compared with the method currently used in PKC trade, in which the sample undergoes defatting, acid and alkali digestion, and washing, before a chloroform-alcohol solution is used to separate the ...
