Cellulose from oil palm fronds (OPF) was extracted using a cost-effective method combining physical treatment (high pressure steaming) and repeated chemical treatments (alkali and bleaching). Alkali and bleaching treatments were performed using low concentrations of sodium hydroxide and sodium chlorite, respectively. High levels of cellulose were successfully extracted, with 4 grams of cellulose for every 10 grams of raw oil palm fronds. The morphology of the cellulose was investigated using variable pressure scanning electron microscope (VPSEM). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analyser (TGA) were used for structural analysis. The extracted cellulose was found to have smaller diameter (8 – 10 μm) and smoother surface compared to the untreated fibres. The results from FTIR, XRD and TGA indicate that the hemicelluloses and lignin were extensively removed from the isolated cellulose. Alkali treatment helped in removal of hemicelluloses, while bleaching assisted in delignification. The extracted cellulose showed high crystalline index of 68.75% and degradation temperature of 350 C resulted from removal of lignin and hemicelluloses via alkali and bleaching treatments.

Photolytic degradation of imazapyr and imazapic in aqueous solutions (pH 3, 7 and 9) and soil under direct sunlight were studied. A total of 0.1 mL of aqueous solutions containing herbicides were collected at 0, 1, 2 and 3 days and were directly analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography equipped with ultraviolet detector (HPLC-UV) without further clean-up process. Soils that were treated with herbicides were sampled at seven different days (0, 1, 5, 10, 16, 23 and 30). The photolytic results showed that imazapyr and imazapic degraded faster in solutions compared to soils (> 90%). Photolysis of imidazolinone herbicides became more effective as the pH value increased. The half-lives for imazapyr and imazapic degradation on soil surface under sunlight were calculated at 126 days and 85.56 days, respectively. Low degradation of imazapyr and imazapic in soil becomes a concern since it may contribute to the persistency of imidazolinone herbicides in this media. The use of these herbicides should be planned well to reduce the risk of herbicides leaching into groundwater and posing risk to non-target crops
