Potential for potash production from cocoa-pod husk in Nigeria. In: Agrotrópica v. 2 p. 171-175, 1990.

Abstract

This paper examines Nigerian potentials in potash production from cocoa-pod husk, a waste product of cacao (Theobroma cacao) that is presently under-utilized. An efficient method of extraction involving crystalization to obtain a high quality potash is discussed while the economic feasibility or otherwise of a small scale processing unit is also examined.
