Treatment of POME via chitosan based flocculation : study the effect of dosage chitosan in removal oil from POME

The treatments of palm oil mill effluent (POME) have been a topic of research in Malaysia. These effluents needs to be properly treated before it released to watercourse and minimize the environmental hazard. This research is conducted to evaluate the treatment of palm oil mill effluent (POME) using...
