Optimization of NaOH-catalyzed steam pretreatment of empty fruit bunch
BACKGROUND Empty fruit bunch (EFB) has many advantages, including its abundance, the fact that it does not require collection, and its year-round availability as a feedstock for bioethanol production. But before the significant costs incurred in ethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass can be reduced, an efficient sugar fractionation technology has to be developed. To that end, in the pr...
متن کاملConversion of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch to Biofuels
Crude palm oil production is reaching 48.99 million metric tonnes per year globally in 2011 and Southeast Asia is the main contributor, with Indonesia accounting for 48.79%, Malaysia 36.75%, and Thailand 2.96% (Palm Oil Refiners Association of Malaysia, 2011). Oil palm is a multi-purpose plantation and it is also an intensive producer of biomass. Accompanying the production of one kg of palm oi...
متن کاملEffect of Silica Bodies on the Mechanical Behaviour of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Fibres
The surface of oil palm empty fruit bunch fibres contains embedded silica bodies or protrusions. The mechanical contribution of the protrusions towards the integrity of the fibres is still not clearly investigated. In this work, 2D and 3D finite element simulations on the surface and cross section of the fibres, respectively, were performed. The information for the models was obtained from scan...
متن کاملBasic Properties of Oven–Heat Treated Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Stalk Fibers
The fibers of oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) stalks were investigated to determine the changes in their basic properties after oven-heat treatment. The oven-heat treatment was conducted at 100 °C or 190 °C for 15 min. There were slightly noticeable morphological, chemical, and thermal alterations in oven-heat treated OPEFB stalk fibers for short duration. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) ...
متن کاملAir gasification of palm empty fruit bunch in a fluidized bed gasifier using various bed materials
0TUse of lignocellulosic biomass as an alternative, renewable and sustainable source of energy has fulfilled part of the growing demand for energy in developed countries. Amongst various technologies applied to convert biomass wastes to biofuel and bioenergy, biomass gasification has attracted considerable attention. In this work, gasification of palm empty fruit bunch as a potential lignocellu...
