| description | Depletion of fossil fuel reserves along with major environmental impacts needs the
government and authorities to emphasis on renewable energy resources. Biomass from plantation
waste is among the significant resource for renewable energy. Hence, this research was carried out
with the primary objective is to evaluate the potential of pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) as an alternative
for current biomass resources which are oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) and rice husk (RH).
The PALF was obtained from pineapple leaf waste by using hand scrapping technique. Then the
characterization process was conducted on the PALF used in the present study to investigate its
cellulose contents. Five samples were tested for calorimetric value by using the calorimetric
thermometer and bomb cylinder. The calorimetric value test shows that the PALF has a calorimetric
average value of 16.93 MJ/Kg. Therefore, the finding reveals that the PALF has high potential as an
alternative for current biomass resources for renewable energy application. The utilization of PALF
with higher cellulose content compared with the present study expected capable of providing higher
calorimetric value result in the future. |
