Removal of oil and grease in wastewater using palm kernel shell activated carbon

Oil and grease wastewater is produced from many sources such as industry and municipal. The discharge of oil and grease in wastewater system causes bad effect towards the environment and also the wastewater system itself. Palm Kernel Shells (PKS), an agriculture waste was chosen to see its ability i...

Palm Kernel Shells (PKS), an agriculture waste was chosen to see its ability in removing oil and grease in wastewater.
