CuO/SiO Catalytic Pyrolysis Technology of Empty Palm Fruit Bunch (EFB) for the Production of Bio-Oil

In the palm oil mill plantation, the processing of palm oil fresh fruit bunch (FFB) to produce crude palm oil (CPO) resulting in the production and accumulation of biomass such as empty fruit bunch (EFB). The accumulation of EFB has become environmental problem since its delayed utilization resul...
