Abstract

A study was conducted on the utilization of oil palm wood waste in the production of porous ceramics, which were then used as a motor vehicle exhaust gas filter. The porosity, hardness, and morphology of the resulting ceramics were all measured. Using the gas analysis approach, ceramics with a higher porosity value were also examined for their exhaust gas filtration power. The study's findings show that the particle size of oil palm sawdust has a significant impact on porosity, hardness, and ceramic morphology. The porosity of the ceramic decreases as the particle size decreases, but the hardness increases. Porous ceramics have porosity levels of 60, 57, and 56 percent. Porous ceramics have hardness values of 221, 62, 302, 83, and 363, 46 MPa. And Filtration of exhaust CO gas 1.88%, CO2 1.1%, and HC 1123 ppm.
