Electrostatic biosorption of COD, Mn and H2S on EFB-based activated carbon produced through steam pyrolysis: an analysis based on surface chemistry, equilibria and kinetics

Biosorption of chemical oxygen demand (COD), manganese (Mn) and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) onto an empty fruit bunch (EFB)–based powdered activated carbon (PAC) from a multicomponent system—biotreated palm oil mill effluent (BPOME)—were studied in a batch adsorption process. The experimental results...
