Potential of oil palm frond liquid extract and fiber as feedstock for bio-butanol production

Oil palm frond is the most abundant yet untapped biomass in Malaysia. The objectives of the present work are to study the influence of the age of oil palms on productive sugar yield from oil palm frond extracts and to highlight the potential OPF liquid extract and fibers as feedstock for biobutanol...
