Palm Oil and Palm Waste Potential in Indonesia
نویسنده
چکیده
The expansion of oil palm cultivation in Indonesia has been driven by a strong world demand for food especially fats and oils. Commencing in the island of Sumatra, it spread out to other island like Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Irian but not to the island of Bali which was already well developed. The role of palm oil in developing remote inland regions and improving the standard of living of rural population is noticeable. With the development of palm oil industry, problems arise with the large amount of pollution and waste generated by palm oil industries. This chapter discusses the palm oil industry development in Indonesia, palm oil processing, waste and its potential, palm oil wastewater treatment, and palm oil solid waste treatment.

متن کاملSynthesis and Characterization of CaO-TiO2 for Transesterification of Vegetable Palm Oil
This study explores the potential of titanium oxide impregnated on calcium oxide (CaO-TiO2) as catalyst in transesterification of vegetable palm oil (VPO) to produce biodiesel. The biodiesel yield increased with catalyst calcination temperature and reaction time, and the usage of CaO-TiO2 led to higher biodiesel production when compared to reaction catalyzed by CaO. Biodiesel yield of 93.33% wa...
متن کاملEffect of Oyster Mushroom on Biodegradation of Oil Palm Mesocarp Fibre
The problem of degradation of agricultural residues from palm oil industry is increasing due to its expansion. Lignocelloulosic waste from these industry represent large amount of unutilized resources, this is due to their high lignin content. Since white rot fungi are capable of degrading lignin, its potential for the degradation of lignocelloulosic waste from palm oil industry was accessed. T...
متن کاملCarbon emissions from forest conversion by Kalimantan oil palm plantations
Oil palm supplies >30% of world vegetable oil production1. Plantation expansion is occurring throughout the tropics, predominantly in Indonesia, where forests with heterogeneous carbon stocks undergo high conversion rates2–4. Quantifying oil palm’s contribution to global carbon budgets therefore requires refined spatio-temporal assessments of land cover converted to plantations5,6. Here, we rep...
متن کاملEffect of New Palm Oil Mill Processes on the Efb and Pome Utilization
New palm oil mill processes are characterized by advanced oil separation technologies with zero dilution water (‘ECO-D’ for example as a new system for oil recovery without dilution water) and continuous sterilization of the fresh fruit bunch (FFB). These processes have a deep impact on the amount and composition of waste water (POME). Compared to conventional palm oil mills the total amount of...
