Oil palm biomass is readily available in Malaysia. However, its high lignin content makes it
undesirable for further processing. Pretreatment is employed to reduce the amount of lignin …

Porous ZnO/cellulose nanofiber (CNF) composites were synthesized to investigate their
photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye (a persistent organic pollutant …

Herein, commercially available Dowex 5WX8, a cation exchange polymeric resin, was
modified through solvent impregnation with t-butyl phosphate (TBP) to produce a solvent …

This work developed a super-high performance of engineering carbonaceous adsorbents
from waste banana-peel via an optimized KOH-impregnated approach, which affords …

This study explores the use of an engineered char produced from the pyrolysis of
anaerobically digested fiber (ADF) to adsorb phosphate from aqueous solutions. Two series …

The methanolysis of refined vegetable oils (rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, corn oil and olive oil)
using a heterogeneous carbonaceous catalyst was studied. Activated carbon (AC) was …

Oil palm waste has been widely used in activated carbon (AC) by applying various activation
methods and degrees of processing. The aim of this paper was to conduct technoeconomic …

Oil palm trunk (OPT) represents one of the five main oil palm biomass wastes with high
carbon content that can be economically converted to a large surface area, porous activated …

Large amounts of biomass produced by the palm oil industry are either burnt in open air or
disposed in waste ponds and contribute to global climate. Therefore, these biomasses …

The promotion of China's coal gasification industry has produced highly yielded coal
gasification slag. This research utilized the coal gasification fine slag as raw material and …
