A comparative analysis of the quality of concrete blocks produced from coconut fibre, oil palm empty fruit bunch, and rice husk as filler material

Abstract: Abstract. The accumulation of coconut fibre (CF), oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB), and rice husks (RH) every year can reduce the fertility of soil and water absorption, and causes water acidification. Waste utilization as a filler material of concrete blocks was discussed in this research. Experimental design was used by comparing the quality of concrete blocks based on 36 specimens with varied compositions of waste (1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% by dry weight of total sand) and 3 specimens (0%) as control specimens w… Show more

“…Therefore, the low carbon society program needs to be integrated into the international community to achieve sustainable development (Nakata et al, 2011). The efforts related to this vision have been widely studied all over the world (Ali et al, 2013;Gan et al, 2013;Lutfi et al, 2018;Soccol et al, 2019;Yamin et al, 2018).…”

“…One of the problems arising from this policy is the increasing waste of palm oil products [10,11] in the form of used cooking oil which is frying waste. Used cooking oil can cause water and soil pollution if it is disposed of carelessly [12], but it can be used as "an environmentally friendly fuel".…”

“…Agricultural wastes such as oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) and rice husks are abundant in South East Asian countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia [6,7]. Indonesia, as an agriculture country, produced 28 million tons of palm oil [8] and 70 million tons of rice annually resulted in the high rate of agricultural waste [9]. The waste becomes a social problem that has to manage immediately.…”
