| Summary: | The growth of oil palm plantation has created the massive amounts of biomass,
especially the oil palm trunk. That issue gives negative influence on the
environment and replanting operation. The higher amount biomass gives an idea
of the possibility to produce a panel product or wood composite product and
therefore reduce the dependency of the wood based industry on solid wood.
Different portions (top and bottom) and layers (inner and outer) used to
determine chemical compositions. The chemical analyses of the OPT in relation
to determine moisture content (Me), cold water solubility, hot water solubility, 1%
NaOH, ash content, alcohol toluene, lignin, holocellulose, alpha-cellulose were
carried out according to the Technical Association of Pulp and Paper Industry
standard (TAPPI). The result showed bottoms have high chemical compositions
than top portions and outer layer have more chemical composition than inner
layer. |
