Coir pith, a by-product of industry, renewable sourceis dark brown in color, fibrous in condition. The physical properties and anatomical studies of various ages of coir pith were done to determine the efficiency of formation of primary and secondary cell wall in fresh and old coir pith.The cell wall structure, lignin composition and the anatomical view in the collected coir pith were examined ...

in order to evaluate the possibility use of palm waste cellulose as a substitute substrate for growing pot plants, an experiment was conducted in completely randomized block design with 6 replication and six treatments on aglaonema sp. the treatments were 5 levels including 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 palm celluloid wastes mixed with different rates of some amendments such as peat, coconut coir, perl...

The purpose of the study is to delineate the impact of national and industry-specific government interventions and the influence of political parties in power. The study employs an interrupted time series design from the annual national coir export data (1970-2012) published by the Coir Board. The study concludes by highlighting that the significance of economic environment has a greater impact...

Several low cost biomaterials such as rice husk, sugar cane bagasse, Tulsi Leaf &branches, coconut shell & coir and fly ash were tested for removal of chromium. All the experiments were carried out in batch process. The adsorbent, which had highest chromium (VI) removal, was coconut shell. An influence of chromium concentration, contact time on removal of chromium from effluent was investigated...

In the context of sustainable development which is a balancing act between the fulfilment of human needs and the protection of the natural environment, the use of natural fibers such as coir in geotechnical applications is desirable. Reinforcing the soil with coir fibers/coir geotextiles is a cost effective solution to the ground/soil improvement problems. The effects of fiber parameters on the...

In this study, physical, mechanical, and flammability properties of coconut fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) composite panels were evaluated. Four levels of the coir fiber content (40, 50, 60, and 70 % based on the composition by weight) were mixed with the PP powder and a coupling agent, 3 wt % maleic anhydride grafted PP (MAPP) powder. The water resistance and the internal bond strength of...

Abstract Sacks made from coconut coir are usually used by farmers and plantations as sacks for delivery of tobacco, cloves, coffee, tea leaves, etc. Many us find that have been damaged, torn wasted. Using aims to reduce waste, protect the environment eco-friendly. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with an action research model. The model taken is design works art paintings on can...

Kertaharja is the largest coconut producing village in Cimerak District, Pangandaran. 35% of weight coconuts will be waste form coir. Unfortunately, residents do not know about this product that has economic value and can become an environmentally friendly growing medium. Therefore, Community Service activity aimed at educating environment family economy with respective targets being children S...
