ELAEIS SOFT CELLS COMPATIBILITY WITH GYPSUM MATRIX FOR CIRCULAR INDUSTRIAL SYMBIOSIS

Abstract

Palm fruit bunch soft components with nanofunctional properties, TRX-cells^®, demonstrate yet another unique role in enhancing the flexural durability of recycled gypsum. Incorporation of foreign cells of uniform size into the interior gypsum panel-making residues was found to boost flexural strength by 224% despite a drop in compressive strength. Understanding the quantum-mechanical interactions between the constituents of TRX-cells^® and gypsum in soft reinforcement provides insights into profitable use, enabling informed decisions in waste handling. The resource synergy symbolizing symbiosis is a promising approach to mitigate emission risks from unattended residue degradation. Cross-sectoral circularity will foster profitable waste management, harmonizing people and the planet in sustainable industrialization.
