Waste palm shell converted to high efficient activated Carbon by chemical activation method and its adsorption capacity tested by water filtration

The concentrations of phosphoric acid on the characteristics of high efficient activated carbon were investigated. Adsorptions capacities of activated carbon prepared by chemical method were carried out to evaluate the adsorptive of some heavy metals. It was found that treated (palm shell by sulphur...
