DELIGNIFICATION PROCESS OF POWDER PALM OIL
PALM (Elaeis guineensis) USING NaOH IN VARIOUS
CONCENTRATION
ABSTRACT
Oil palm fronds are widely used as animal feed and compost. Chemical
analysis of palm oil stem showed that there were 34,89% cellulose component,
hemicellulose 27.14% and lignin 19.87%. Cellulose content contained in oil palm
fronds can be used as raw material for the manufacture of nitrocellulose and
microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). Lignin is protective of cellulose and
hemicellulose, which can interfere with the cellulose hydrolysis process. The
purpose of this study was to determine the amount of lignin content on palm oil
bark and to know the effect of NaOH concentration on delignification
The delignification process on oil palm bark was performed by using NaOH
with various concentrations heated in an autoclave at a temperature of 121oC. The
results obtained in the wash using aquades, then dried using an oven at 105oC for
10 hours. This dried powder is determined by its lignin content using the kappa
method.
The result of lignin lost on palm oil without delignification process is 0%,
delignification of aquades is 3,98%; delignification with NaOH concentration
2.0%; 4.0%; 6.0%; 8.0%; dan 10.0% ie 4.61%; 5.93%; 6.74%; 7.40; and 8.61%
respectively.
From the above description, it can be concluded that NaOH at concentration
of 10% is more influential in the process of delignification of oil palm bleak with
lignin content lost by 8.61%. Where elevated lignin levels are lost proportional to
the increase in NaOH concentration used.
