“…The highest value of LOI recorded in POFA-FB is due to the presence of more carbon content i.e. 68% by weight (Hidayu et al, 2013) in the fiber matrix while POFA-K has a carbon content of 63% by weight (Dagwa et al, 2012). River sand has the lowest LOI value because of its natural hardness thus; it took more time to incinerate river sand as opposed to the other materials given the same constant temperature.…”

“…They are mostly found in the packaging, electricity, electronics, electromechanical and building sectors [1]. Plastic offers a very great advantage especially in the possibility of its mixture with many other materials at the time of its manufacture [1] [2]. This feature makes the plastic material a financially accessible material for all.…”

This work presents the physical and thermal characterization of the dura palm kernel powder of Cameroon for their use as fillers for polymers composites. The powders of palm kernel were obtained using a percussion grinder mill with an industrial microniser which allowed obtaining a powder less than 50 μm with an apparent density between 0,505 ≤ ρ ≤ 0,680 g/cm 3 at 1.56 of relative humidity. The infrared of the powder of palm kernel shows the presence of phenols groups with a large band around 3341 cm −1 ,-C-H at 2917.02 cm −1 and-CO at 1040 cm −1 as the main peaks. The polyvinyl chloride of infrared obtained shows the presence of-C-Cl,-CH 2 and CH as the mains peaks. The infrared of 12.5% of palm kernel powder with polyvinyl chloride shows an increase of the CH 2 and CH bonds and a decrease of the-OH bonds. Thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetric analysis of powders, polyvinyl chloride and mixture showed that the mixing powders are intermediate between the polyvinyl chloride and palm kernel powder. The powder decreased the phase temperatures of the mixture from 98.58˚C to 95˚C for the glass transition temperature and from 515˚C to 459˚C for the crystallization temperature. The thermogravimetric curves of palm kernel powder and polyvinyl chloride have showed that these materials lose their different masses in three different phases, and the one of composite (mixture of polyvinyl chloride with 12.5% of palm kernel powder) in two different phases.

“…The C-H out-of-plane bending vibration was observed at 1383 cm À1 . 30,31 Compared with fresh bio-char (b) support, the stretching vibration peak around 1383 cm À1 disappeared and the intensity of stretching vibration at 1096, 1590 cm À1 weakened for the fresh Co-Ni/RHPC. It induced that the metal Ni or Co promoted the conversion of organic material le in the RHPC.…”

Rice husk was completely used for synthesis gas production. The pyrolysis volatiles (gas and bio-oil) of rice husk were used as raw materials to produce synthesis gas and the bio-char from the rice husk pyrolysis was used as the catalyst for catalytic reforming of pyrolysis volatiles of rice husk. We investigated the role of catalysts in gas and bio-oil catalytic reformation under different reaction conditions and the interaction between gas and bio-oil. The results indicated that 0.1Ni-0.1Co/RHPC (rice husk pyrolysis carbon) exhibited favorable selectivity and high conversion for rice husk pyrolysis volatiles. In particular, H 2 and CO contents from bio-oil were 56% and 18%, respectively, 37% and 36% from gas, respectively.Moreover, the content of H 2 is 32%, while that of CO is 22% after catalytic reforming from the mixture of gas and bio-oil. The Co-Ni/RHPC catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, NH 3 -TPD, H 2 -TPR and N 2 adsorption and desorption. BET results showed that adding Co and Ni can effectively enhance the BET surface from 4 m 2 g À1 to 96 m 2 g À1 . XRD results showed the active parts of the Ni and Co diffraction peaks remained evident after reaction.
