Batch study on the removal of mercury (II) ion from industrial wastewater using activated palm oil fuel ash
Palm oil fuel ash (POFA) was introduced as a raw material in this study to maximize the utilization of oil palm waste. Activated POFA was used as the adsorbent for the removal of mercury (II) ion from industrial wastewater. In this present work, a batch experimental work was conducted in order to st...
