Comparative and optimization studies of adsorptive strengths of activated carbons produced from steam- and CO2-activation for BPOME treatment

This study basically compared the adsorptive efficacies of powdered activated carbons (PACs) produced from palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) in the treatment of a non-simulated biotreated palm oil mill effluent (BPOME). Each of the PACs was produced from two different methods namely steam- and CO2-a...

The steam activated PAC performed better than the CO2 activated PAC with a record uptake of up to 81%, 92% and 89% for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Manganese (Mn) and Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) respectively as compared with the uptake of 67%, 90% and 87% from the CO2-activated PAC.
