| Summary: | <p>This study aimed to develop a proof of concept of green oil filter cartridge from kenaf for</p><p>automotive application. The methodology involved paper making process which include</p><p>soda pulping, fibre beating and pulp pressing. The physical, mechanical, chemical and</p><p>thermal properties of the paper sheets produced at various beating degrees were</p><p>tested according to standard guidelines. The results highlight that the kenaf paper sheet</p><p>prepared at 4000 beating revolution exhibits the best tensile and burst indices</p><p>comparable to selected commercial filter media. Thermal analysis showed that the paper</p><p>sheet prepared at this parameter decomposed at a lower temperature (535C)</p><p>compared to the selected commercial filter media (700C). The kenaf paper prepared at</p><p>4000 beating revolution was selected to form proof of concept (POC) of oil filter cartridge.</p><p>Certain technical aspects of the POC were validated by industrial experts. An</p><p>international sustainable manufacturing guideline was adopted to evaluate green</p><p>indicators of the developed POC. The biodegradability of used POC and selected</p><p>commercial oil filter media was assessed at simulated landfill conditions. Many</p><p>attributes for input and product achieved high scores for green indicator. The used</p><p>POC showed faster biodegradability period compared to the selected commercial oil</p><p>filter media. In conclusion, some properties of the POC are better or comparable to</p><p>selected commercial oil filter media. This study implicates potential towards application</p><p>of kenaf paper for green oil filter cartridge manufacturing in the automotive industry.</p> |
