The removal of H2S (aq) from a simulated petroleum refinery waste water using activated carbons produced from agricultural by-product such as, coconut shell (CNS), palm kernel shell (PKS), and wood sawdust (WSD) were investigated. The activated carbons obtained from the CNS, PKS, and WSD were chemically activated using KOH.

Comparative studies between all the six adsorbents for the removal of H2S (aq) from the simulated waste water were carried out. The adsorption studies revealed that Ca-modified PKS-based activated carbon (Ca-ACPKS) has shown best performance for the removal of H2S (aq).
