Immobilization of Chlorella vulgaris for Palm Oil Mill Effluent(POME) Treatment and Heavy Metals Removal

Being one of the major aquatic pollutants in Malaysia, palm oil mill effluent or POME contains harmful organic soluble materials, specifically nitrogen and organic carbon. Not only that, POME also has a high level of chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and heavy metals co...
