Industrial waste, especially metals will cause harm to the environment and ecosystem if being discharged in high concentration.

The raw palm shell underwent both the physical and multi solvent treatments. There were 6 types of adsorbent used throughout the study, which are UC1, BC1, BCAB1, BCABC1, BCABCM1 and BCABCM3.

Surface morphology denoted the development of pores in multi solvent treatment while BET analysis was to identify the adsorbent’s surface area, and lastly the elemental analyzer for identifying elemental composition of adsorbents.
