PROPERTIES OF PARTICLEBOARD MADE FROM WASTE PINEAPPLE LEAVES AND RECYCLED STYROFOAM

Résumé

Transforming agro-industrial waste into a valuable product is one of the most efficient solutions to the overgrowing problem of waste disposal. The main objective of the study is to investigate the use of waste pineapple leaves and recycled Styrofoam in the production of particle board. Boards of 10mm thickness with dimensions of 250 mm x 250 mm are produced from pineapple leaves and melted Styrofoam with gasoline by using a hot-pressing machine at a temperature of 120°C and a pressure of 750 psi. The variables considered in the study are the application of NaOH treatment to the pineapple leaves, the particle size of pineapple leaves of 20mm and 2mm, and pineapple leaves-Styrofoam formulation ratio of 50:50, 60:40 and 70:30. Density (D) test, water absorption (WA) test, thickness swelling (TS) test, and flexural strength (FS)test are evaluated in accordance to appropriate standards. Pineapple leaves subjected to NAOH treatment have a lower density, however, an increased amount of water absorption and swelling are observed compared to the untreated boards. In formulation, increasing the amount of pineapple leaves has caused an increase in density, water absorption, and thickness swelling. Subsequently, the recorded flexural strength of the board ranges from 8.59 to 9.015 kN. This study proves that recycled Styrofoam is a good substitute for formaldehyde-based resin commonly used in particle board industries.
