| Summary: | Abstract. Biomass-derived materials such as kenaf pulp and wood chips are a perfect candidate to
produce magnetic paper. Furthermore, by using biomass waste, such as paddy straw, sugarcane,
bagasse and durian shell, the cost of producing magnetic paper can be further reduced while giving
added value to the waste. This paper investigates the potential of producing magnetic sheet from
durian shell. Initially, durian shells were dried before undergoing the pulping process. The resulted
sheet was then combined with magnetic particles, the nano magnetite using either lumen loading or
in-situ co-precipitation to produce a magnetic composite sheet. After being loaded with magnetic
particles, the composite sheets were tested in terms of the homogeneity of the magnetic particles in
the samples, degree of loading of the magnetic particles and the magnetic properties of the samples.
Results obtained show a great success in producing the magnetic sheet from durian shell waste and
nano magnetite particles. It was also found that the lumen loading method gives better magnetic
properties compared to the in-situ co-precipitation method. |
