We characterized the activated carbon made from bagasse and then use it as an adsorbent in refining used cooking oil. The bagasse was made into carbon, then activated by treatment of temperature and immersion in 1 M H3PO4. The lowest values of the activated carbon test on the water content analysis is 3.14 % and ash content is 13.61 while volatile content is 6.76 % at 450 °C activated carbon temperature. The oil purification process is carried out with temperature variations of activated carbon and activated carbon mass as 6, 8 and 1 g and then the quality of oil is analyzed on the basis of SNI 01-2901-2006 standard which includes free fatty acid and peroxide number. The lowest value of the lowest free fatty acid content is 0.3660 % and peroxide number is 6.9939 meq/kg, produced at a 400 °C activated carbon temperature having the highest degree of crystallinity of 35.77 % with 10 g of adsorbent weight.

“…The kenaf plants upon harvesting are processed by using a mechanical fiber separator and the whole stalk is used in pulping. The extracted fibers must be treated chemically or bacterially to separate it from the nonfibrous substances like wax, pectin, and other substances (Suharty et al, 2016;Arjmandi et al, 2017). These fibers can be converted into fine woven fabrics.…”

The increase in awareness of the damage caused by synthetic materials on the environment has led to the development of eco-friendly materials. The researchers have shown a lot of interest in developing such materials which can replace the synthetic materials. As a result, there is an increase in demand for commercial use of the natural fiber-based composites in recent years for various industrial sectors. Natural fibers are sustainable materials which are easily available in nature and have advantages like low-cost, lightweight, renewability, biodegradability, and high specific properties. The sustainability of the natural fiber-based composite materials has led to upsurge its applications in various manufacturing sectors. In this paper, we have reviewed the different sources of natural fibers, their properties, modification of natural fibers, the effect of treatments on natural fibers, etc. We also summarize the major applications of natural fibers and their effective use as reinforcement for polymer composite materials.

“…From the literature, 6,7,10,11,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] it is found that researchers have tried to improve the mechanical properties of PP by reinforcing with SGF and SCF and also by adding natural and nanofibers, natural, particulate, and nanofillers as hybrid reinforcement and filler materials. The effect of fiber weight percent, fiber-matrix interfacial strength, and fiber length on the mechanical properties are studied.…”

In the present work, short glass fiber (SGF) and short carbon fiber (SCF)‐reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites are fabricated using twin‐screw extrusion and injection molding techniques. The SGF and SCF are reinforced as a single and hybrid reinforcement into the PP matrix with the same weight percentage (wt%) and the obtained composites are characterized for physicomechanical properties. It is observed that the tensile and flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of PP are improved by increasing the weight percent of reinforcement in the composite. The highest value is observed for composite with 30 wt% of SCF reinforcement; hybrid composite with 10 and 20 wt% of the mixture of SGF and SCF proves to outperform the other composites with the same weight percent of SGF and SCF added individually. The notched Izod impact strength of SGF + PP composite at 30 wt% is found to be the highest amongst all. Furthermore, the increased presence of SCF improved the tensile and flexural properties; however, it was not able to improve the impact strength significantly.
