Abstract
Influence of torrefaction on chemical compositions of empty fruit bunch (EFB) biomass using microwave heating
Highlights
Torrefaction has high potential to becoming a leader of pretreatment technology for exploitation of biomass for energy purpose (Peduzzi et al, 2014).The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis sp.) fruit bunch is the one of the biomass energy and there generates a lot of lignocellulosic by product, mainly Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB), the fruit fiber and the shell
The data acquired from this study on comparison chemical properties in raw and torrefied Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) is useful for the future research
The finding in this study determined that the torrefied EFB was a very useful resource for manufacturing the carbon (Ahmad et al, 2015) product use as feedstock material for steam power plant application
Summary
Torrefaction has high potential to becoming a leader of pretreatment technology for exploitation of biomass for energy purpose (Peduzzi et al, 2014). The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis sp.) fruit bunch is the one of the biomass energy and there generates a lot of lignocellulosic by product, mainly EFB, the fruit fiber and the shell. The types of biomass produce by oil palm are EFB, mesocarp fiber, kernel shells, fronds and trunk (Uemura et al, 2013). The EFB comprises of 17-33% of hemicellulose, 43-65% of cellulose and 13-37% lignin on the dry weight basic (Palamae et al, 2014). Lignocellulosic agriculture biomass consists of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, together with smaller amount of pectic substance. The lignin contain three aromatic alcohol that are coniferyl alcohol, sinapyl alcohol and р-coumaryl alcohol that are produce by the process of biosynthetic process and
