Removal of acrylic acid from process water by using activated carbon based coconut shell
The presence of Acrylic Acid (AA) in process water is the major problem in many industries which are using AA.There are no proper methods available to remove AA from process water and hence the industries incinerating the process water containing AA to remove it.This method consumes large amount of...
