Alkaline Oxidation of Cellulose from Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Using Hydrogen Peroxide

Cellulose has been isolated and purified from oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) by sodium hydroxide method followed by sodium hypochlorite bleaching. Digesting of the OPEFB by sodium hydroxide in 121 o C for 4 h reduce lignin content from 22.58% to 16.60%. Treatment of the OPEFB pulp using sodium hypochlorite remove all residual lignin. Cellulose contain was increased to 90.86%. The impact of oxidation by hydrogen peroxide was evaluated by visual analysis, functional group, physical and chemical properties. OPEFB cellulose fiber was damage and broken, corresponding to reducing...

Bioplastic Production from Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch

Empty fruit bunch is available abundantly in Indonesia as side product of CPO production. EFB production in Indonesia reached 28.65 million tons in 2015. EFB consist of 36.67% cellulose, 13.50% hemicellulose and 31.16% lignin. By calculation, potential cellulose from EFB is 11.50 million tons. Cellulose could be utilized as source for bioplastic production. This research aims to develop bioplastic production based on cellulose from EFB and to increase added value of EFB. Cellulose fiber has no plastic properties. Molecular modification of cellulose, composite with plasticizer and...

"Mapping Wonder in the Māui Moʻolelo on the Moʻoʻāina: Growing Aloha ʻĀina Through Indigenous and Settler Affinity Activism." Rooted in Wonder: Tales of Indigenous Activism and Community Organizing. Eds. Aiko Yamashiro and Bryan Kuwada A special issue of Marvels & Tales 30:1 (2016): 45-69.

As wondrous lands are represented as "wastelands" to make way for urban and industrial development in Hawaiʻi, kūpuna or elders and cultural practitioners are currently building a movement across the islands to mobilize moʻolelo (stories and histories) in huakaʻi aloha ʻāina, (physical and spiritual travels to view and remember celebrated and sacred places) in order to protect them. On these huakaʻi, moʻolelo have critical decolonial effects as they articulate an ʻŌiwi moʻoʻāina economy of abundance that restore "wastelands" to ʻāina kamahaʻo (wondrous land) and ʻāina momona (abundant...

《分析哲学：在科学主义和先验论之间》Between the Scylla of Scientism and the Charybdis of Apriorism (Chinese) (2001)

This is the Chinese translation of my paper in the Schilpp volume on Peter Strawson; it explains how to steer between a priori philosophy and the equally-unappealing opposite extreme, scientistic philosophy.
