Application of Response Surface Methodology for Optimization of Palm Kernel Shell Activated Carbon Preparation Factors for Removal of H2S from Industrial Wastewater

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) present in the industrial wastewater can be removed using activated carbon produced from palm kernel shell. In this study, three factors namely activation temperature, impregnation ratio of potassium hydroxide to precursor and activation contact time were investigated for the...
