Preparation and characterisation of adsorbent from landfill sludge

One of the materials that can be used to produce activated carbon is sludge from municipal solid waste (MSW) in landfills. Large amount of sludge is usually generated as waste from leachate treatment process, creating sludge disposal problem. At the same time, the presence of heavy metals in the wat...
