Coir from coconut processing waste as a raw material for applications beyond traditional uses
نویسندگان
چکیده
The global production of coconut, mainly for food and oil production, exceeds 62 million tonnes per annum. Large quantities coconut husk remain unutilized after industrial processing, giving rise to environmental problems. This fails exploit the potential presented by extraction coir, which could have numerous applications. Traditional products such as textiles, mats, brushes made from coir are increasingly being joined new, high-value, non-traditional uses. review article summarizes new fields application reinforcing fibers in binderless fiberboards, natural fiber composites, construction materials, solid biofuels, an absorbent heavy metals toxic materials. use these will reduce waste increase sustainability.

A hazardous waste from secondary aluminium metallurgy as a new raw material for calcium aluminate glasses.
A solid waste coming from the secondary aluminium industry was successfully vitrified in the ternary CaO-Al(2)O(3)-SiO(2) system at 1500 degrees C. This waste is a complex material which is considered hazardous because of its behaviour in the presence of water or moisture. In these conditions, the dust can generate gases such as H(2), NH(3), CH(4), H(2)S, along with heat and potential aluminoth...
متن کاملSynthesis and Characterization of Cellulose Nanofibers From Coconut Coir Fibers
Cellulose nanofibers were isolated from coconut coir fibers by chemical treatment using alkaline, mineral acids and inorganic salts, followed by mechanical treatment and disintegration methods like sonication, cryo crushing and dissolution. The size and morphology of cellulose nanofibers were investigated by using the Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). The width of synthesized...
متن کاملLipase-catalyzed biodiesel production from waste activated bleaching earth as raw material in a pilot plant.
The production of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) from waste activated bleaching earth (ABE) discarded by the crude oil refining industry using lipase from Candida cylindracea was investigated in a 50-L pilot plant. Diesel oil or kerosene was used as an organic solvent for the transesterification of triglycerides embedded in the waste ABE. When 1% (w/w) lipase was added to waste ABE, the FAME ...
متن کاملIndustrial aluminum hazardous waste as a new raw material for zeolite synthesis
In Spain, the secondary aluminum industry is a mature activity which produces 35% of the total aluminum production. This industry generates slag (black dross) with a valuable content of aluminum which is recovered by dry milling processes in the aluminum tertiary industry. The powdered fine solid is trapped in the sleeve filter suction system of the aluminum slag milling process. This solid is ...
