Conversion of oil palm fronds (OPF) to levulinic acid (LA) over Fe/HY zeolite catalyst in BMIM[Br] ionic liquid has been investigated in this study. The optimization of OPF conversion reported 24.7% levulinic acid yield at 153 °C, 5.9 h, 0.96 g and 1.1 g of reaction temperature, reaction time, OPF loading and catalyst loading, respectively. The results indicated that BMIM[Br] could disrupt the covalent linkages in the OPF structures and dissolved the hollocellulose. This allowed the hollocellulose chains, accessible to the chemical transformation, to react and produce LA in presence of the Fe/HY catalyst. This study demonstrated that the combination of Fe/HY catalyst and BMIM[Br] has the potential to be applied for biomass conversion to LA under adequate process conditions.

This paper aims to understand the difference in characteristics of activated carbon produced from oil palm fronds (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) through the addition of two different activators, namely sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and sodium chloride (NaCl). To do this, activator concentration of 10 percent each with activation temperature of 600 oC were applied in the experiment. Moreover, to determine the quality of activated carbon produced, a morphological analysis of activated carbon surfaces as well as FTIR spectra analysis on activated carbon. Identification using FTIR spectrophotometer revealed that the activated carbon in this study contained functional groups of O-H, C = O, C = C, C-C, and C-H.
