Manufacture and properties of oil palm particleboard

Flame retardant properties of oil palm trunk particleboard with addition of epoxy resin as a binder and aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide as additives

“…The intensity of this peak becomes higher with addition of epoxy resin and flame retardant additives which indicates the presence of more OH stretching. A peak at 2900 cm −1 showed the presence of C=O vibrating bands of the carboxylic group in hemicellulose [5]. There is a significantly different peak at around 1755 cm −1 which indicated the presence of the C=O stretching absorption band contributed by the carbonyl group of epoxy resin while the peak at around 1650 cm −1 indicates the stretching of C=O in the amide group [25].…”

“…Particleboard was successfully developed from oil palm trunk waste by Ahmad et al [5] using urea formaldehyde resin. In general, conventional particleboard was incorporated with formaldehyde based resin to obtain a high end product but inversely it emits toxic gases which are detrimental to human health and also to the environment [6].…”

Developing Palm Oil Inventory Control System Using Ms Excel Macro

“…The outcomes of this research study are a computerized supply control system that beneficial, crucial, and also much better substitute for a hand-operated administration system and quick handling. journal.ump.edu.my/jmmst ◄ meters (14 million tons) of oil palm trunks would be available within 25 years of rotation of the planting system and 70,000 hectares will be available next year due to replanting [4].…”

Durabilidad natural de tableros aglomerados de cocotero

“…The success of ACs may be attributed to the fact that the production process allows the use of a large variety of materials, and thereby obtain a cheaper product than when solid wood or plywood is used. For instance, Hiziroglu (2013) suggests using non-timber yielding species and underused woods; Hashim et al (2011) proposes a more thorough exploitation of biomass (from the bark to the leaves) of an Asian palm tree, with results that meet the Japanese standards in this regard; Ahmad et al (2011) document a series of lignocellulosic materials that may be used in the manufacture of ACs, such as bamboo, sugar cane mash, linen, cotton, cereal stubble, peanut shells and coconut palm. At the Departamento de Madera, Celulosa y Papel of the Universidad de Guadalajara (Department of Wood, Cellulose and Paper), research has been carried out for the last 25 years on agave, coconut husk and lechuguilla fibers (Fuentes et al, 1988;Fuentes, 1989;Fuentes et al, 1991).…”

“…El éxito de los TA se puede atribuir a que el proceso de producción permite la utilización de una gran diversidad de materiales, y con ello obtener un producto más económico que la madera sóli da o los contrachapados. Por ejemplo, Hiziroglu (2013) plantea el uso de especies no maderables y maderas subutilizadas; Hashim et al (2011) proponen un aprovechamiento más integral de la biomasa (desde la corteza hasta las hojas) de una palmera asiática, con resultados que están acordes a los estándares japoneses en la materia; Ahmad et al (2011) documentan una serie de materiales lignocelulósicos susceptibles de uso en la elaboración de los TA como: bambú, bagazo de caña, lino, algodón, rastrojo de cereales, cáscara de cacahuate, y cocotero. En el Departamento de Madera, Celulosa y Papel de la Universi dad de Guadalajara, México, se ha i nvestigado desde hace 25 años y continúa haciéndose sobre fibra de agave, henequén, estopa de coco, lechuguilla (Fuentes et al , 1988;Fuentes, 1989;Fuentes et al , 1991).…”
