Application of Elaeis Guineensis Leaves in Palm Oil Mill Effluent Treatment

Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) is a highly polluting wastewater that pollutes the environment if discharged directly Owing to its high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) concentration. This study utilizes Elaeis guineensis leaves in POME treatment to reduce the COD, BOD,...

This study utilizes Elaeis guineensis leaves in POME treatment to reduce the COD, BOD, and to remove colour and comply with the Department of Environment (DOE) discharge standard limit. Batch biosorption experiments were carried out for the removal of Azo dye, (AO52) using E. guineensis leaves as a potential biosorbent. The effects of various parameters, such as pH, mass of biosorbent, initial concentration, and contact time were studied to evaluate and optimize the biosorption process condition.

This optimum condition was then applied for COD, BOD and colour removal in POME. Under the optimum condition, maximum percentage reduction of COD, and BOD was found to be 82% and 44% respectively, and percentage of colour removal stood at 91.6%.
