Palm oil mill effluent : a waste or a raw material?

Environmental issues are increasingly becoming more important globally. Large quantities of Palm oil mill effluent (POME) are generated annually during crude palm oil production. In this review, POME was considered as a biphasic product; being a major source of pollution in Malaysia due to its high...
