Optimization of mercury removal using palm oil fuel ash

The palm oil fuel ashes (POFA) were used as biosorbent for the removal of heavy metals ions from wastewater. From the preliminary experimental results, it shows that the POFA had good adsorption capability for Hg (II) ions. This study aims to employ low-cost biosorbent such as activated palm oil fue...
