Influence of activation temperature and acid concentration on the sludge-based activated carbon production

This work is focus on the synthesis of activated carbon from palm oil mill effluent (POME). POME is waste from palm oil refineries and generated in large quantities, which about 2.5 tons of POME generated for every ton of palm oil production. POME usually discard in disposal pond and proceed with se...
