Characterization of ash from sugar palm [Arenga Pinnata (Wrumb) Merr.] fibre for industrial application

Sugar palm (Arenga Pinnata) fiber is abundant in Malaysia which necessitates its utilization as a source of agricultural waste for industrial development. This paper aims at characterizing the sugar palm fiber to explore its silica content as a potential renewable material. The sugar palm fiber was...
