Application Of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (Opefb) – Treated Palm Oil Mill Effluent (Pome) Sludge Pellet On Soil Erosion And Its Implication On Simulated Experiment

Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) sludge and Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB) are two major by-products of lignocellulosic biomass and now become a major disposal problem. Fundamentally, recycle is one of the waste management hierarchy. Given the fact that potential utilization of both by-products i...
