Parametric evaluation of silica extraction from oil palm empty fruit bunches

Oil palm empty fruit bunches serve as a sustainable silica source to address solid waste challenges. This study evaluated five parameters for silica extraction including calcination temperature between 500 and 700 °C, calcination time from 90 to 150 minutes, fiber size of 1 cm versus 0.25 mm, and alkali type using NaOH...
