Synthesis and characterization of MgFe2O4 for photo-catalytic degradation of pre-treated pome

Edible oil production from Malaysia currently accounts for 12% and 27% of the world's total production and exports of oils and fats. Consequently, the palm oil industry also discharges substantial waste during the oil processing in the form of oil palm trunks, oil palm fronds (OPF), empty fruit...
