The focus of this study was to develop a method demonstrate the feasibility obtaining useful and high-value resources from Phoenix dactylifera residues and, determine physical chemical properties ash dates-palm-tree remains. Date-palm leaves fiber samples were combusted for 50 s, using an Nd: YAG laser with 40 W output power. It found, that combustion one gram agricultural waste could be comple...

The constraints associated with peat use in horticulture has led to a search for alternative materials their as growing media. organic derived from palm trees (composted or not) can constitute an due ligneous and fibrous character, similar coir fiber. This work studies the feasibility of using several palm-tree-derived (Phoenix dactylifera L.) media ingredients transplant production lettuce (La...

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...

Cellulolytic fungi have shown potential applications in various industries such as pulp and paper, agriculture, biofuel production, textile. The purpose of this is study to isolate, screen identify cellulolytic from palm. Twenty (20) strains were isolated screened. Seven (7) isolates: 3 Aspergillus spp, (2) Trichoderma 1 Rhizopus species, Penicillium spp had significant activity. C (from palm p...

The main purpose of this work is to investigate the effect benzoyl treatment on performance sugar palm/kenaf fiber-reinforced polypropylene hybrid composites. Water absorption tests were carried out confirm benzoylation toward fabricating a more hydrophobic behavior Both treated and untreated composites that have 10 wt.% fiber loading with three different ratios between palm kenaf (7:3, 5:5, 3:...

Abstract Background Various recent studies have investigated the use of traditional fibers (metallic or synthetic) as reinforcement in mortar. In times, there has been growing interest using natural cement composites. This study was conducted to assess impact date palm, doum and sisal on mechanical properties Genetic modeling chosen find shear damage at fiber-matrix interface three composites g...

Windmill palm fiber (WPF) is an abundant source of cellulose that can be used in textile manufacturing. In this study, acid-alkali and acid-alkali-enzyme were prepared to create blended yarns. The morphology, chemical composition, physical structural parameters, tensile properties the WPF samples yarns studied. results indicated both treatments as degumming methods prepare windmill textile-grad...

Xylooligosaccharides are functional foods mainly produced during the hydrolysis of xylan by physical, chemical, or enzymatic methods. In this study, production of xylobiose was investigated using oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber (OPEFB) as a source material, by chemical and enzymatic methods. Xylanase-specific xylan hydrolysis followed by xylobiose production was observed. Among different xylan...

This research aims to develop solid waste produced by oil palm plantation processing in the form of mesocarp fiber. Utilization which is usually only as boiler fuel a Palm Oil Mill. fiber reduce waste, has large heating value, and selling value. In process making briquettes, raw materials are provided, drying, charcoal (carbonization), filtering, forming 100 gr with 150 ml, 200 300 ml water sol...
