Abstract

The utilization of oil palm fronds as composite board raw material has developed due to the declining wood supply. Currently, citric acid is used as natural adhesive on the wood-based moldings to reduce the use formaldehyde-based resin. Citric acid has carboxylic acid functional group that can react with hydroxyl functional group from cellulose by esterification reaction. This paper explain the production of board from oil palm frond and citric acid, then elaborate their physical and mechanical properties.  Oil palm fronds were processed with ring flaker to produce particles with 1 ~ 5 cm length. The particles were dried until the moisture content reached 6%. Citric acid solution was obtained by stirring 700 g citric acid in 1000 ml water.  Citric acid solution were sprayed onto particles. The weight of citric acid were 10%, 15% and 20% based on oil palm fronds’ dry weight. Boards were produced with density target of 0.6 g/cm3 and pressure at 1N/mm2 for 10 min. The hot pressing temperatures were varied at 140ºC, 160ºC, 180ºC, and 200ºC. Physical and mechanical test were performed according to JIS A 5908-2003. The MOR, MOE, IB and SW values of boards with 15 wt% citric acid content and pressed at 200oC were 5.85 N/mm2, 1067.03  N/mm2, 0.26 N/mm2 and 88.80 N respectively. The optimum condition for board production obtained upon citric acid content and pressing temperature in a range of 15% ~ 20% and 180ºC ~ 200ºC, respectively.

Abstract

Polypropylene composites reinforcing with natural fiber is potentially applied for automotive particularly on interior part design. Those kind of composites were contributed on renewable material, rapid rate biodegradation, and low cost of production compared to synthetic fiber. Furthermore, the mechanical properties including strenghtness, young modulus, and thermal stability have revealed good performance than glass fiber. Fiber which were fibrillated and have high aspect ratio that coresspond to diameter and lenght ratio of the fiber were noticed as enhancement factor for mechanical properties. Fiber fibrillation processing into microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) attempts for widening surface area of the fiber that improve polymer matrices compatibility. MFC from empty fruit bunches (EFB) and oil palm frond (FB) fibers were performed as pulp by mechanically and chemically treatments. Chemically treatment was conducted with bleach and unbleach procedure. Polypropylene with fiber was mixed using kneader, and injection for molding process. Manufacturing uses needs appropriate size presition, moderate lead time, and low defect. Heat deflection temperature (HDT) provide information for plastic material on indicating temperature condition effect to material deformation during normal loading. Material of origin, additive or filler size, and molding temperature were directly corelated to the HDT performance. Initial temperature of HDT exhibits different value for different kind of fillers and fiber treatments. PP/EFB composite by mechanical treatment gives high value of HDT compared to the fiber processing by chemical treatment both with bleach and unbleach process. Similar result have been performed in PP/FB composites related to initial temperature. PP/ EFB composite with 30% of fiber loading represent HDT in 149.4°C, and for PP/ FB composite with 30% fiber loading gives 150.7°C. By the addition of fiber loading could improve the HDT value of the composites.

Abstract

Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) is waste from oil palm industry that has potential to be used as particleboard material.  Production of particleboard might be useful to decrease the waste from oil palm industry.  The problem in using waste from oil palm is the high extractive content that can decrease adhesive properties in panel production using thermoplastic adhesive, cement or thermosetting adhesive.  The problem can be solved by special treatment to oil palm waste to decrease the extractives content. The objective of this research is to observe the influence of some treatments of EFB, density and adhesive content on the physical and mechanical properties of particleboard using phenol formaldehyde adhesive. Adhesive content  used were 8%, 10% and 12% from oven dry weight of particles, while density was varied at 0.6 g/cm3, 0.7 g/cm3, and 0.8 g/cm3.  Pre-treatment for EFB particles were cold water soaking for 24 hours, hot water boiling for 2 hours, Ca(OH)2 1 % solvent boiling for 2 hours and NaOH 1 % solvent boiling for 2 hours.The results showed that cold water soaking treatment for 24 hours and hot water boiling for 2 hours was the optimum treatment.  The optimum content of adhesive was 10% with minimum density of 0.7 g/cm3.  Thickness swelling for all type of EFB particleboards were not met the JIS A-5908, while internal bond, screw withdrawal and modulus of rupture (MOR) were met the type 8 of JIS A-5908 (1994).

Abstract

Development of particleboard from waste of Oil Palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) using phenol formaldehyde adhesive has been done at small size (laboratory scale) in the previous study. Further development at commercial size board is conducted in the present study. The objective of this research is to observe the effects of EFB particleboard types and density on the physical and mechanical properties of particleboard using urea formaldehyde adhesive. The types of EFB particleboard were particleboard of entirely EFB particles, board layered with sawdust and board layered with plywood.  Adhesive content used was 10% from oven dry weight of particles; wax content used was 12% from weight of adhesive. The board density was varied at 0.5 g/cm3, 0.6 g/cm3, and 0.7 g/cm3.  The EFB particles were soaked for 24 hours in cold water before used.The results showed that EFB particleboard that layered with plywood at density of 0.7 g/cm3 gave the optimum result.  Thickness swelling for all type of EFB particleboards were not met the JIS A 5908; therefore it need further study to overcome this problem. All mechanical properties such as internal bond, screw withdrawal, modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR) for EFB particleboard that layered with plywood were met the type 8 of JIS A 5908.
