Process optimization for the production of activated carbon from waste coconut shells in Trinidad & Tobago / Safiyyah N. Wahid... [et.al.]

Produced water that is generated from the local oil and gas industry is associated with disposal challenges due to the presence of the pollutant phenol in excess of statutory discharge limits. As Trinidad & Tobago (TT) moves towards achieving sustainable development goals of waste minimization a...
