In this study, the microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was extracted via a non-acidic method from the oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) cellulose. The extraction was conducted through Ammonium Persulfate (APS) oxidation treatment, which was followed by the ball milling process. The effects of varied temperature levels from APS oxidation treatment (60,

Aim: Microalgae is one of the bioremediation agents in wastewater treatment due to its ability to degrade nutrients and organic compounds. Several studies reported that co-cultivation of microalgae and bacteria, i.e. Microalgae Growth Promoting Bacteria (MGPB) could improve the nutrients removal process. This MGPB helps to degrade complex nutrient

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the influence of dose level of electron beam on the compatibilization behavior of recycled polypropylene (rPP) in rPP/microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) composites. Initially, the rPP was irradiated with various dose of electron beam (5 kGy up to 250 kGy) which then mixed with unirradiated rPP (u-rPP) at a
