THE USE OF COMPRESSED FLUIDS TO OBTAIN BIOCOMPOSITES FROM PALM OIL FIBER (Elaeis sp.)

Abstract Empty fruit bunch fiber (EFBF) is a lignocellulosic waste generated by the palm oil agribusiness. The amount of EFBF produced is equal to the oil obtained, and it can be used as raw material to obtain biocomposites. The objective of this work is to fragment the EFBF employing pressurized fl...
