Abstract:Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) are byproducts in the palm oil industry. Recently, many studies focused on the application of EFB to pulp fibre and paper. In this study, we used a nanoengineered mechanical treatment, aqueous counter collision (ACC), to investigate the miniaturisation behavior of chemical EFB pulp fibre and compared it with chemical hardwood pulp fibre. Furthermore, a sheet was prepared from fine EFB fibre produced by ACC to examine the wettability. The miniaturisation of the EFB pulp fibre using ACC… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
