MICROWAVE IRRADIATION OPTIMIZATION FOR EFFICIENT LIGNIN REMOVAL FROM COCOA SHELL WASTE USING ALKALI

This paper reports a study to determine the optimum conditions of microwave in assisting alkali treatment for removing lignin from cocoa shell waste (CSW). The CSW was mixed with 5% of NaOH solution at the ratio of 1: 10 of weight to volume of the alkaline before being irradiated in a microwave ove...
