Morphological, thermal stability and textural elucidation of raw and activated palm kernel shell and their potential use as environmental-friendly adsorbent

The use of environmental-friendly biomass as adsorbent is a critical discourse in the treatment of industrial wastewater. The need then arises for a controlled physicochemical preparation of this biomass into an activated carbon which can be used as potential adsorbents in wastewater treatment. In t...
