Dear friends,
As mentioned previously, the EPFB project has contributed to 8 papers publication for national and international journal & proceedings. Below are the details about the publication.
1. Pyrolysis of Lignin Degraded Empty Palm Fruit Bunch to Important Chemicals. Has submitted to Bioresource Technology on Oct 2008. (Status: under review)
2. Pre-treatment of Empty Palm Fruit Bunch for Degradation of Lignin. Submitted to our local publisher, Jurnal Teknologi in the middle of year. (Status: under review
3. Delignification of Empty Palm Fruit Bunches by Lignin Peroxidase for Biofuel Production. Presented by Prof. Dr. Nor Aishah at the 2nd South East Asian Technical University Consortium (SEATUC) Symposium, Bandung Indonesia on Feb 2008.
4. Bio-Oil from Pyrolysis of Pre-Treated Empty Palm Fruit Bunch (EPFB). Will be presented at Regional Symposium Chemical Engineering (RSCE) Kuala Lumpur on Dec 2008.
5. Conversion of Chemically Treated Empty Palm Fruit Bunch (EPFB) to Important Chemicals. Will be presented at Regional Symposium Chemical Engineering (RSCE) Kuala Lumpur on Dec 2008.
6. Production Of Biofuel From Palm Oil And Oil Palm Biomass. Will be published as a review paper during the JSPS conference in Japan this end of year.
7. Product Distribution Of Pyrolyzed Concentrated EPFB. Will be presented by Prof. Dr Nor Aishah Saidina Amin in the conference of JSPS, Japan.
8. One paper that related on biodiesel production from EPFB is in the developing process. Our targeted international journal is FUEL.
We are currently looking for the direction of biomass research in our group. For those who have the idea on this topic, kindly contact our person in-charges, Ms Mailin and Mr Zaki Yamani.
Thank you very much for your support guys!!.
One of the CREG’s research project will be completed this end of year after 2 years being carried out. The project entitled “Production of Biofuel from Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) via Integrated Catalytic System” funded by the Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovation (MOSTI) was started at Dec 2006.
This project, leaded by Prof. Dr. Nor Aishah Saidina Amin is purposely to produce biofuel from the abundant wastes generated by palm oil industries known as empty palm fruit bunch (EPFB). Through our innovative method technologies, three valuable products would be obtained namely bio-oil, gaseous and char.
The bio-oil can be used as an alternative energy source, raw material for energy related or as building blocks for the polymer and chemical industries. The gas product on the other hand can be used in fuel cells application, while the solid by-product of char is vital for the production of activated carbon or carbon black.
As information, the project was conducted by CREG Research Officers from various specialties and expertise. The main researcher is Mailin Misson from Biology and Bioprocess Eng. background, and assisted by Roslindawati Haron (Biology, Enzymology) and Mohd Fadhzir Ahmad Kamaroddin (Chemical Eng). 5 excellent undergraduate students had been selected to be involved in the project to make the project become more successful.
Besides, our hardworking and creative leader, Prof. Dr. Nor Aishah Saidina Amin together with our lecturers, Assoc. Prof. Dr Ramli Mat, Mr Zaki Yamani and Mr Mahadhir have developed CREG to a very strong and highly competitive research group.
With this innovative and established team, high impact research to the nation being was successfully completed. 8 papers were developed for national & international journals and proceedings, as well as 2 on-progress patents drafting were received.
More interestingly, our product namely EFB-Diesel (The Biodiesel from non-food Source) has been awarded as Silver Receiver on the Research Competition organized by UTM on last Aug. Through this innovative method to produce high quality Biodiesel, we are looking forward to have good research collaboration or even production contract with other organization outside.
