However,  it  seems  that  in  the  near  future  time,  we  would  exchange  the  used  of  oilderived chemicals into the furfural  as  before.  This is due to oil-derived chemical is  a non-renewable  sources  while  we  can  found  furfural  in  many  renewable  sources. Furfural is a colourless oily liquid with the odour of almonds chemical that produced from  hemicelluloses.  It  is  an  organic  heterocyclic  aldehyde  compound  that  stable  at room temperature. Hemicelluloses can be found from agricultural waste such as palm empty fruit bunch (PEFB), corncobs and etc. PEFB is an abundant by product of palm oil  industry  that  contains  lignocelluloses  biomass  which  composed  of  hemicelluloses, cellulose, and lignin. Furfural is produced by the hydrolysis and dehydration process of pentose that contained in lignocelluloses. First of all, PEFB is characterized and the raw materials in dried, grinded and sieved before hydrolysis and dehydration process take places. In this project, we synthesized furfural from PEFB and can get the improvement of yield by using solid waste catalyst (SWC).  As the result, the optimum condition to produce the highest yield (%) of furfural is at 90 min, with the liquid/solid ratio of 16.67 ml/g and 30 g of catalyst.20aFaculty of Chemical & Natural Resources EngineeringxDissertations 0aUniversities and CollegesxDissertations 0aTheses40uhttp://ecollib.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/25948zAccess in library only
