Catalytic pyrolysis of washed empty fruit bunch (EFB) by using cobalt oxide doped onto silica-alumina catalyst
(Universiti Malaysia PerlisSchool of Bioprocess Engineering, 2011-05)The problem with the utilization of fossil fuels such as expensive, source depletion and not being environmental friendly lead to the utilization of biomass as one of the renewable and environmental friendly energy source. ... -
Catalytic pyrolysis of washed empty fruit bunch (EFB) using copper oxide (CuO) catalyst
(Universiti Malaysia PerlisSchool of Bioprocess Engineering, 2011-05)Empty fruit bunch (EFB) is a major solid biomass waste from palm oil industry. Pyrolysis of EFB is thermal decomposition of biomass that occurs in the absence of oxygen. Pyrolysis products consist of bio-oil, char and ... -
Effect of acid hydrolysis on the properties of nanocrystalline cellulose-reinforced polyvinyl alcohol composites
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2017-06)Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) was extracted from Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) fiber by different types of acid during acid hydrolysis. The acids used include sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid. A few tests ... -
Effect of different pre-treatment on briquetting and combustion properties of empty fruit bunches (EFB)/rice husk (RH) composite briquette
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2017-06)Utilization of agro-waste material in producing biomass briquette has been actively explored due to its huge potential as an alternative option to current energy resources. In addition, development of biomass briquette ... -
Optimization of biocomposting process on empty fruit bunch
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Bioprocess Engineering, 2012-06)Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) is a byproduct of palm oil mill. EFB can be found abundantly in Malaysia as it is the world leading exporter for palm oil products. Same goes to palm oil mill effluent (POME), an effluent from ... -
Preparation and characterization of cellulose nanocrystalline reinforced polyvinyl alcohol
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2017-06)This project studies the preparation and characterization of cellulose nanocrystalline (CNC) reinforced polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH). The mechanical properties, chemical composition, morphological surface and the water absorption ... -
Preparation, characterization and optimization of empty fruit bunch nanocrystalline cellulose (ncc) by acid hydroysis
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2017-06)Empty fruit bunch is one of the most abundant lignocellulosic wastes and has a potential in producing nanocellulose for various uses. In this study, an alkaline pre-treatment and acid hydrolysis are the most important ... -
Properties of empty fruit bunch cellulose nanocrystal reinforced chitosan biocomposites
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2017-06)The focus of this research was to isolate the cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) from Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) and evaluate the properties of the CNC content loading from 0 wt % to 5 wt % reinforced chitosan biocomposites. The ... -
Screening of process parameters for the production of bioprotein from EFB by Aspergillus terreus UniMAP AA-1 for fish feed application
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Bioprocess Engineering, 2012-05)Nowadays, agro-waste biomass have become the new grossing trends in bioconversion research including in bioprotein production due to increasing of demands and .The conventional protein which require higher cost of production ...
