  • Does microwave assisted pyrolysis conserve oil palm resources?
  • Recovery of oil palm resources is essential towards conserving environment. This study investigated the behaviour of oil palm kernel shells (PKS), palm mesocarp fibre (PMF) and empty fruit bunch (EFB) through microwave assisted pyrolysis.
  • Which pyrolysis method produces the highest solid yield of oil palm biomass?
  • Microwave irradiation pyrolysis of the oil palm biomass for 10 min resulted in highest solid yield of PKS followed by EFB and PMF. Through visual observation on the resulting solid fraction, PKS and EFB were not fully pyrolysed, where brownish sample instead of blackish char, formed at this condition.
  • Can central composite design be used in microwave pyrolysis of PMF?
  • Abas et al. (2018) had performed optimisation using RSM based on central composite design (CCD) on microwave pyrolysis of PMF; focusing on optimising the process conditions namely, temperature, activated carbon loading, and holding time towards liquid yield and total phenolic content (TPC).
  • Why is recovery of oil palm resources important?
  • Recovery of oil palm resources is essential towards conserving environment. This study investigated the behaviour of oil palm kernel shells (PKS), palm mesoc...
  • How many palm oil mills are there in Malaysia?
  • To date, there are more than 450 palm oil mills operated in Malaysia, resulted in abundance of biomass wastes such as empty fruit bunches (EFB), palm mesocarp fibre (PMF), palm kernel shell (PKS) (Hirschmann, 2020).
