Study on Continuous Adsorption Process for Monoethanolamine (MEA) Wastewater Treatment Using Granular Activated Carbon and Sugarcane Bagasse

Monoethanolamine (MEA) is one of the most widely used alkanolamines for removing sour gases such as H2S and CO2 from natural gas for refining processes. MEA has gained attention for the abatement of greenhouse gases and the disposal of the MEA wastewater causing a problem as MEA cannot be treated ea...
