Abstract The use of fibers, especially natural as construction materials has begun to develop. Natural fibers are also used for soil stabilization, where there two mechanisms increasing strength: tensile strength and fiber-soil friction. purpose this research is design build simple, inexpensive tools that can be test the a fiber. tool consists three main parts, namely pull tool, loadcell, displ...

Bio-absorbent palm fiber was applied for removal of cationic violet methyl dye from water solution. For this purpose, a solid phase extraction method combined with the artificial neural network (ANN) was used for preconcentration and determination of removal level of violet methyl dye. This method is influenced by factors such as pH, the contact time, the rotation speed, and the adsorbent dosag...

the rapid expansion in world production of palm oil over the last three decades has attracted the attention of the oils and fats industry. oil palm gives the highest yield of oil per unit of any crop. palm oil is the major oil produced, with annual world production in excess of 50 million tonnes. throughout the world, 90% of palm oil is used for edible purposes (e.g., margarine, deep fat frying...
