| Abstract | An experimental investigation has been carried out on pre-processing of areca leaf to achieve powdered form to prepare organic fertilizer at home using a domestic high-speed mixer. From the preliminary study, it is found that time taken to decompose for the grain size in the range of 0.1 to 0.6 mm is 4-5 days. A process study is carried out by conducting experiments on various samples of pre-processed areca leaf. The fixed parameters considered for the study are the blade profile of the mixer, RPM, Power and sample quantity (0.02 kg). Controllable parameters are Moisture content in samples (Dry, soaked (15 minutes), soaked (72 minutes)), leaf size (120x20 mm, 40x20 mm, 20x20 mm and 5x5 mm), sliced, grated and combination controllable parameters (Dry, Dry-Compact, Dry-Torched, Dry-Compact-Torched, and Wet) are considered. For all the samples, time taken to bring down the powdered form (time taken for crushing) is studied. |
