• Are oil palm empty fruit bunch natural fibres a reinforcement material?
  • The oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) natural fibres were comprehensively reviewed to assess their potential as reinforcing materials in polymer composites for energy absorption during low-velocity impact. The typical oil palm wastes include trunks, fronds, kernel shells, and empty fruit bunches.
  • Is oil palm empty fruit bunch a biofuel resource?
  • It is also a promising alternative source of biofuels to replace the depleting supply of fossil fuels. Surprisingly, few writers have been able to draw on the feedstock significance for oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) as the biomass resource for biofuels compared to the other types of biomass waste.
  • What is oil palm EFB?
  • Oil palm EFB is a plant biomass which is also called lignocellulosic material. It is largely composed of various oxygen-containing organic polymers. Lignocellulosic materials may be divided into six classes: crop residues, hardwood, softwood, cellulose wastes, herbaceous biomass and organic solid wastes .
  • How oil palm empty Fu it bunch (opefb) can help promote eco-products of the future?
  • With the oil palm empty fru it bunch (OPEFB) availability and disposal problem, it might boost the effort to convert them into a beneficial product. As a conclusion, the and encouraging towards promoti ng eco-products of the future. assistance, and Universiti Pu tra Malaysia (UPM) as collaboration partnership. 1. H. D.
  • Can opefb polymer composite absorb energy from oil palm waste?
  • Initially, this paper reviewed the local oil palm waste issues. Previous research works on OPEFB polymer composite, and their mechanical characterization is appraised. Their potential for energy absorption in low-velocity impact application was also elaborated.
  • Is oil palm EFB a second-generation biomass for bio-oil conversion?
  • It is favorable because of the abundant supply of biomass and process feasibility. This paper underlines the current status of oil palm EFB as the second-generation biomass for conversion into bio-oil and its potential to substitute the depleting fossil fuels or petroleum with biofuels.
