Low-cost and eco-friendly activated carbon from modified palm kernel shell for hydrogen sulfide removal from wastewater: adsorption and kinetic studies

Palm kernel shell is an abundant agricultural by-product in Malaysia, which is mainly used for producing activated carbon (AC) via the process called physicochemical activation. The applicability of AC derived from palm kernel shell (ACPKS) was investigated for the removal of dissolved H2S from wast...
