 Abstract

The researchers aimed to produce an alternative glue out of peanut

(Arachis hypogaea) shells that is considered as a waste nowadays. The

purpose of this research is to lessen the waste in the environment and to

lessen people's expenses in buying commercially-available glue.

The alternative glue was made by extracting lignin from the peanut

(Arachis hypogaea) shells. The said lignin was extracted by pulverizing the

peanut shells and adding 1.5 gram of sodium hydroxide into the mixture.

The extracted lignin was then mixed with flour to obtain the glue-like texture

of the substance.

The said product, alternative glue, was tested and compared to

commercially-available glue in 3 different terms: color, odor and stickiness.

Based on the data gathered, presented and analyzed, the researchers

come out with the conclusions. Based on the computed mean of the

compared group in different terms, it showed significant results from the

computations made. The researchers therefore conclude that the peanut

(Arachis hypogaea) shells is definitely feasible to be used as an alternative

to commercially-available glue.

 Chapter I

Introduction

Peanuts have a variety of industrial uses. Paint, varnish, lubricating oil,

leather dressings, furniture polish, insecticides, etc… Some parts of a peanut

are thrown away because they have less uses, like the peanut shells.

Nowadays, waste are scattered all around. Burning them is one of the ways

to hasten waste but it can only add pollution to our environment and burning

waste can produce carbon dioxide (CO2) which is one of the so-called

“greenhouse gases”, a continuous increase of carbon dioxide can cause

global warming hence, it will later cause climate change which will affect not

only humans but also other organisms.

The researchers came up with the idea of making an alternative glue

out of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) shell’s lignin. . This will benefit the

environment for it will give purpose to the non-reusable wastes such as

peanut shells, it will also lessen the toxic components produced by

commercially-available glue. This will also benefit people’s expenses because

it is less expensive than the commercially-available glue. Thus, it will be one

of the solutions of the problems we are facing with.

1
Objectives

1. To make an alternative glue using Arachis hypogaea’s lignin.

2. To compare the alternative with commercial glue in terms of:

a) odor

b) color

c) stickiness

Hypothesis

There is no significant difference between the alternative and

commercial glue in terms of odor, color, and stickiness.

2
Significance of the Study

This study will be conducted to make an alternative glue out of Arachis

hypogaea’s lignin, which will be beneficial to the environment for it will give

purpose to non-reusable wastes such as peanut husks. It will be useful to

students who use glue because it is less expensive than commercially

available ones and can be easily made at home.

This research will also compare the alternative and commercial glue in

terms of odor, color, and stickiness. The ultimate goal of this study is to

create a more environmentally friendly glue that does not contain as much

toxic components than the ones available in the market. This way, the study

can help lessen the pollution.

Scope and Limitations

The aim of this research is to create an alternative out of peanut

(Arachis hypogaea) shells and to test the product in terms of color, odor,

and stickiness. The effects of alternative glue to the paper after a long

period of time are beyond the scope of the study. The research will be

conducted in Valenzuela National High School.

Review of Related Literatures and Studies

Based on the study of Mizifan et. al (2014), the relevant information

about the lignin in straw and its application in the industry is scattered and

scarce compared to the wood lignin. This study of related literature has

shown that lignin as a by-product in the pulping process an, abundant

natural and renewable product has been widely used in the past. Studies

also showed that there is a great potential for many applications across

various industrial sectors as a replacement for increasingly scarce and

expensive petroleum based materials, including traditional products, e.g.

resins, composites, and emerging materials, biofuel and commodity

chemicals. The type of lignin differs not only from one to another species but

also depending on the isolation protocol. However, the lack of optimising or

processing technologies is significant when it comes to using technical lignin.

According to Sain, M. et. al (2016), lignin is one of the most abundant

bio-based polymers which are discarded as waste in the pulp and paper

industry in very large amounts. Production of rubber/lignin compounds is

discussed in this chapter as a promising approach for the development of

value-added products from lignin. Challenges facing the successful

production of such compounds have also been explained along with common

modification techniques from the literature.

6
 As stated in the study of Sen, T. et. al (2016), natural fibers are a

renewable resource and have several advantages associated with them, they

impart the composite with high stiffness and strength. Moreover, it proves

that they have a desirable fiber aspect ratio, biodegradable, readily available

from natural sources, and more importantly, have a low cost per unit

volume.

According to Tran, G. et. al (2017), peanut hulls are a bulky waste

generated in large amounts. In peanut-producing countries, they are often

burned, dumped, or left to deteriorate naturally. In the recent past,

environmental concerns have led to interest researchers in using peanut

shells for a variety of purposes: fuel, mulch, carrier for chemicals and

fertilizers, bedding for livestock and poultry, pet litter, soil conditioners, etc.

Peanut hulls are also fed to livestock, particularly ruminants and rabbits,

although their high fibre content does not make them suitable for most

monogastric species.

According to Roberts (2019), peanut shells are used in the

manufacture of soap, cosmetics, wallboard, plastics and linoleum among

other things. Scientist and educator George Washington Carver extolled the

value of peanuts and their shells at the beginning of the 20th century. In the

21st century, scientists at Clark Atlanta University studied ways to use

peanut shells to make hydrogen for fuel.

7
 Based from the literature of Somayyeh, K. (2017), lignin, a

polyphenolic compound, that produced as a by-product of pulp and paper

and bioethanol industries and has excellent potential to be used as phenol

replacement in phenolic adhesive formulation.

As stated by Tribota, A. et. al (2019), wood is the main source of lignin

in the world. This generic term lignin describes a large group of aromatic

biopolymers, i.e. the second most abundant class of biopolymers on Earth. It

accounts for approximately 30% of wood weight while conferring rigidity and

antimicrobial properties to wood.

According to Zhao, L. et. al (1994), reaction conditions for

hydroxymethylation of pine kraft lignin (KL) are optimized by kinetic studies

of the reaction. Characterization of the resulting hydroxymethylated kraft

lignin (HMKL) indicated that about 0.36 mole of the - CH2OH/C9 unit was

introduced into the lignin under the optimal reaction conditions, of which

about 0.33 mole was introduced into C-5 of guaiacyl moieties via Lederer-

Manasse reaction. Lignin-phenolic resins were formulated by blending the

HMKL with phenol-formaldehyde (PF). A 50/50 blending of HMKL/PF resulted

in a bond strength of about 65 psi in laboratory boards made with sweet

gum flakes.

According to Mansouri, E. et. al (2006), lignin-based wood adhesives

are obtained to satisfy the requirements of relevant international standards

8
for the manufacture of exterior grade wood particleboard. The formulations

based on low molecular mass lignin and presenting an increase in the

relative proportion of reactive points yield better results than the higher

molecular mass lignin used in the past. These lignin allow a higher

proportion of hydroxymethylation during preparation of methylolated lignin.

These lignin based adhesives also yield acceptable results at particleboard

pressing times that are sufficiently low to be of industrial significance.

Based from the study of Akgül M. et. al (2008), the main objective of

this study was to investigate the potential of peanut husk (Arachis hypogaea

L.) as a fiber–peanut mixture to produce fiberboards for general purposes.

The chemical properties of peanut husk: holocellulose and lignin content,

alcohol–benzene, hot and cold water, and dilute alkali (1% NaOH) solubility,

were also determined.

As stated in the study of Brischke, C. et. al (2013), lignin has been

studied as an adhesive for more than 100 years, but there are only a few

industrial applications. The reason for the current interest is the high

availability and low price of lignin. Lignin is the main by-product of paper

pulping processes and is typically burned as fuel. Being the natural glue in

plants and having a phenolic nature made lignin an attractive replacement

for wood adhesives. An adhesive system for wood composites consisting

mainly of lignin has yet to be developed. Lignin has less reactive sites in the
9
aromatic ring than phenols, and the steric effects caused by the

macromolecular structure further hinder its reactivity.

According to Coyle (2019), improved lignocellulosic particleboard,

hardboard, and plywood are produced using a lignin sulfonate-phenol

formaldehyde glue system. Preferred products are secured by using Douglas

fir chips in combination with a unique technique of blending the lignin

sulfonate with a phenol and formaldehyde. A specific technique is to combine

lignin sulfonate with formaldehyde under the influence of caustic and heat

and then to combine the resulting compound with phenol formaldehyde resin

to secure a more effective final glue system.

Based from the literature of Qiming (2005), a modified lignin and gum

manufacturing method, relates to an adhesive and a manufacturing method

which is described below. The components were mixed together, placed in

reaction pot at a temperature of 40 ~ 80 ℃ after 4 to 8 hours and then

cooled to room temperature, the solid content of 30-50% was obtained for

the coating 4 cup viscosity measured at 25 deg.] C of 40 to 120 seconds, the

modified lignin plastic, the content of each component is: lignin 20-30wt%,

of 37% formaldehyde 25-35wt%, enhancers 10-15wt%, the catalyst 4-

8wt%, balance solvent. The lignin is a p-hydroxyphenyl group-containing

structure of the vegetation element or a mixture of lignin and woody

vegetation pigment

10
 According to Songbai Z. et. al (2013), one method for preparing

formaldehyde-free adhesive lignin wood-based panels is the hot plate

method which uses lignin-based adhesive after the formation of gum waste

paper acetylated lignin particles in the air with the use of artificial stalks

formed in pulverization, pulverized and mixed. In particular, the use of lignin

acetylation using 4-dimethylaminopyridine and pyridine mixture (1: 1-3, V:

V) as a catalyst at ordinary temperature. The advantage of the present

invention is that: acetylated lignin adhesives do not contain formaldehyde,

and acetylation reaction was rapid at room temperature; wood-based panels

produced having higher physical strength, water resistance, and durability.

According to Jūan (2013), the invention relates to a method for

extracting lignin from peanut. The method comprises the following steps:

crushing peanut shells into powder with granularity of 30-50 meshes; drying

the crushed peanut shell in an microwave; putting the dried powder into a

reaction kettle, adding solid sodium hydroxide in a ratio of 20:1, mixing and

stirring, raising the temperature to 40 DEG C, and then adding water;

wherein the ratio of water and powder is 2:1; further raising the

temperature to 100-110 DEG C, and reacting for 6-8h; cooling and

separating the solution at a cooling temperature of 20-30 DEG C, and drying

the water-insoluble part at a temperature between 30 DEG C and 40 DEG C

to obtain lignin.

Summary, Conclusion and Recommendation

Summary

The study intends to use peanut (Arachis hypogaea) shells to create

an alternative glue. This research aims to give purpose to non-renewable

wastes such as peanut husks, which will also be helpful to students who use

glue because of its low price and can be made at home. The researchers

made an alternative glue using peanut husks, sodium hydroxide and water.

The researchers gathered the data that led to reject the null hypothesis. In

terms of color, alternative glue got an average of 2.2 while the commercially

available glue got an average of 3.7. In terms of odor, alternative glue got

an average of 2.7 while the commercially available glue got an average of 5.

In terms of stickiness, alternative glue got an average of 3.1 while the

commercially available glue got an average of 3.5.

Conclusion

In the light of foregoing findings, the following conclusions were

drawn:

1. Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) shells can be used as an alternative glue

22
 2. In terms of color, the alternative glue made out of peanut shells is

better than the commercially available one.

3. In terms of odor, the alternative glue made out of peanut shells is

better than the commercially available one.

4. In terms of stickiness, the commercially available glue is better than

the alternative glue made out of peanut shells.
