  • Are empty fruit bunches from oil palms a solid waste?
  • Empty fruit bunches from oil palms are one of the solid wastes produced by the palm oil industry. According to estimations, Indonesia can generate 7 million tonnes of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (OPEFB) yearly (Anita et al. 2020). Production OPEFB is either 5.29 million tons of dry OPEFB or 17.64 million tons of wet OPEFB (Fatriasari et al. 2021).
  • What is oil palm empty fruit bundle (opefb)?
  • Indonesia is one of the leading producers of palm oil worldwide. Empty fruit bunches from oil palms are one of the solid wastes produced by the palm oil industry. According to estimations, Indonesia can generate 7 million tonnes of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (OPEFB) yearly (Anita et al. 2020).
  • What are oil palm empty fruit bunch fibers?
  • The oil palm empty fruit bunch fibers are divided into two parts, namely the inner and outer parts, which are the focus of this research. Tests carried out using the TAPPI standard include testing water content, ash content, extractive, lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose.
  • How is cellulose isolated from oil palm empty fruit bunches (opefb) fiber?
  • Initially, cellulose was isolated from oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) fiber via alkali pretreatment using NaOH 4% w/w at 80 °C for an hour. Later, the fiber was subjected to bleaching pretreatment using NaClO 2 5% w/w at 80 °C for 2 h and repeated two times and finally refluxed with HCl 2% at 120 °C for 2 h.
  • What material is used in the study of oil palm empty fruit bunches?
  • The material used in this study is oil palm empty fruit bunches, which are divided into two parts, namely the inside and the outside (Fig. 1) material collected from corps plantations in Sukabumi-West Java. The chemicals used are glacial acetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, technical alcohol, glycerin, safranin (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany).
  • Can empty fruit bunches from oil palm be used for fuel ethanol production?
  • Empty fruit bunches from oil palm as a potential raw material for fuel ethanol production. Biomass Bioenergy, 35: 1130-1137. DOI: 10.1016/j.biombioe.2010.11.038 Przybysz, K., E. Małachowska, D. Martyniak, P. Boruszewski and J. Iłowska et al., 2018.
