One of possible utilizations of abundant agricultural solid waste such as palm oil empty fruit bunches is the conversion furfural via acid hydrolysis and followed by azeotrope distillation. With the aim to reduce the consumption of H2SO4 in the furfural production from oil palm empty fruit bunches, acid hydrolysis was accomplished using the spent acid left as the bottom product of distillation during furfural recovery. The use of spent acid could reduce the need of H2SO4 from 42 at the first cycle to 17 mL/kg at the second cycle, while the need of H2SO4 in the third cycle was 29 mL/kg. Furfural yields in these cycles were up to 16.8, 16.1 and 10.7 g/kg respectively. The use of spent acid at the fourth cycle was not effective anymore. Keywords: Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches, Furfural, Acid Hydrolysis AbstrakSalah satu pemanfaatan biomassa limbah padat pertanian dan perkebunan adalah produksi furfural melalui proses hidrolisis dan distilasi azeotrop. Hidrolisis TKS (tandan kosong sawit) dilaksanakan dalam suasana asam yang umumnya dengan H2SO4 sebagai katalis. Pada operasi distilasi pengambilan furfural, H2SO4 bekas hidrolisis tertinggal bersama air sebagai produk bawah. Untuk mengurangi konsumsi H2SO4 dalam hidrolisis, produk bawah distilasi ini terbukti dapat digunakan sebagai cairan hidrolisis berulang sampai 3 kali. Pada hidrolisis dengan cairan segar, kebutuhan H2SO4 (98% teknis) adalah 42 mL/kg bahan baku. Tetapi pada hidrolisis dengan produk bawah ulangan pertama, kebutuhan H2SO4 tambahan untuk menyesuaikan pH cairan pemasak hanya 17 mL/kg TKS kering. Pada hidrolisis dengan produk bawah ulangan kedua, kebutuhan H2SO4 29 mL/kg. Perolehan furfural dari ketiga ulangan hidrolisis berturut-turut adalah 16,8; 16,1 dan 10,7 g/kg. Penggunaan produk bawah distilasi untuk hidrolisis ulangan keempat memberi hasil yang kurang memuaskan.Kata Kunci: TKS, Furfural, Hidrolisis Asam

Background: The palm oil industry is the largest contributor to global production of oils and fats. Indonesia and Malaysia are the largest producers of palm oil. More than a million workers are employed in this industry, yet there is a lack of information on their occupational health and safety. Objective: To identify and summarize occupational hazards among oil palm plantation workers. Methods: A search was carried out in June 2018 in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Ovid. Relevant publications were identified by a systematic search of four databases and relevant journals. Publications were included if they examined occupational hazards in oil palm plantation workers. Results: 941 publications were identified; of these, 25 studies were found eligible to be included in the final review. Of the 25 studies examined, 19 were conducted in Malaysia, 2 in Costa Rica, and one each in Ghana, Indonesia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, and Cameroon. Oil palm plantation workers were found to be at risk of musculoskeletal conditions, injuries, psychosocial disorders, and infectious diseases such as malaria and leptospirosis. In addition, they have potential exposure to paraquat and other pesticides. Conclusion: In light of the potential of palm oil for use as a biofuel, this is an industry with strong growth potential. The workers are exposed to various occupational hazards. Further research and interventions are necessary to improve the working conditions of this already vast and growing workforce.

Over the decades the palm oil industry has managed some challenging environmental concerns regarding land transformation and degradation, increase in eutrophication, changing habitats of wildlife, pesticides runoff into inland watercourses, and probable climate change. Countries producing palm oil desire to do so in a more sustainable way that will leave the environment evergreen. Therefore this paper aims to encourage sustainable management of agro-industrial waste and its potential in making financial returns from the same waste. Hence, the study was conducted with the participation of seven local palm oil mills having different capacities and operation age. Attention was given to milling waste as they could cause serious environmental menace if unattended to properly. Milling waste includes lignocellulosic palm biomass namely the empty fruit bunches (EFB), oil palm shell (OPS), mesocarp fibres, palm oil mill effluent (POME), and palm oil mill sludge (POMS), as well as solid waste generated from the further processing of these biomass into the palm oil fuel ashes (POFA) and palm oil clinkers (POC). The opportunities available to the Malaysian palm oil industry and the financial benefits which may accrue from waste generated during palm oil production process cannot be over emphasized.

Palm oil is a valuable product used all over the world in a vast number of products for daily use. The oil palm, once well established, is very productive, captures large amounts of carbon and provides good protection to the soil. The use of residues as fuel makes oil extraction plants self-sufficient in energy and produces surplus electricity. A large part of the plant nutrients can be recycled by composting empty fruit bunches, with palm oil mill effluent and ashes added. Smallholders contribute close to 50% of the palm oil traded worldwide. The crop has acquired a bad reputation, however, because of the forests which have been and continue to be cleared for new plantations. The rate of forest clearing has been particularly high in Indonesia and Malaysia, with Thailand and some African countries following at a distance. Forests on peat soils are also increasingly used, releasing even larger amounts of CO2 from peat decomposition. In the ecologies where oil palm thrives, vast expanses of speargrass ( Imperata cylindrica) have resulted from logging and injudicious land use, including poorly managed plantations. Although speargrass is hard to get rid of, a sequence of annual and perennial plant species is capable to suppress the grass, opening a window for planting oil palm in the degraded land. A well-established oil palm crop will then keep the grass out, because of the latter’s intolerance for shade. Thus, the oil palm’s image in the eyes of the public as an ecological disaster can be converted into its opposite: that of a tool to restore the productive capacity of degraded lands. Vast numbers of smallholders can thereby safeguard their livelihood. The oil palm industry has the means and skills to make this happen.
