Microstructural, Mechanical, and Physicochemical Behaviours of Alkali Pre-treated Oil Palm Stalk Fibres
The effect of alkali pre-treatment (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) on the microstructural, mechanical, and chemical composition of oil palm stalk fibres (OPSF) is reported for future bioconversion processes. The OPSF was pre-treated with various concentrations of NaOH (5, 10, 20, 30, and 40% w/v). Scanning...
