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 production. Oil palm tree age between 5-10, 10-15 and 15-25 years were sampled for the study. The analysis was conducted using DNS method. The findings indicated that OPF petiole with the age limit of 15- 25years gives higher glucose concentration of 40.50g/L as compared with 17.85g/L of 5-10 years.  Furthermore, the percentage carbon content of 41.04% and 37.45% obtained from the elemental analysis conducted using various micro elemental analyzers, indicated the suitability of OPF as a promising feedstock for biobutanol production.

Oil palm tree can produce 22 oil palm frond / year, the average weight of frond per rod reaches 2.2 kg, so that each hectare can produce fresh frond about 9 tons / year or equivalent to 1.64 tons / year of dry matter. Activated carbon can be used as a good absorbent agent for gas purification process and removal of organic pollutants from water, such as in liquid waste. The objective of this paper is to know the different characteristics of activated carbon from oil palm frond (elaeis guineensis jacq) as raw material with variation of activator sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and sodium chloride (NaCl). The activator concentration used is 10% each with an activation temperature of 600 ° C. The quality of activated carbons was analyzed by surface active carbon morphology and FTIR spectra analysis on activated carbon. The result of identification with FTIR spectrophotometer showed that the activated carbon in this study contained the functional groups of O-H, C = O, C = C, C-C, and C-H.

This paper presents the results on dielectric properties of pulverized material based on agricultural waste namely oil palm frond and pineapple leaf fiber for microwave absorber application in the X-band frequency range. The investigation is started by identifying the pulverized materials permittivities and loss tangents using coaxial probe technique, followed by density measurement comprising the determination of bulk and solid densities. Then, by using dielectric mixture model, the solid particle dielectric properties were determined. It is observed that the air properties give quite an effect on the permittivity and loss tangent of the pulverized materials. It is also found that the lower the material density the higher material dielectric constant will be. Furthermore, the results show that, both oil palm frond and pineapple leaf fiber are potential to be X-band absorber with average dielectric constant of 4.40 and 3.38 respectively. The loss tangents for both materials were observed to be more than 0.1 which mark them as lossy materials.
