Solubilization of Residual Oil in Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) Using Mixture of Anionic (GE-460) and Non-ionic Surfactants (Brij 35)

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is oily wastewater produced during the processing of palm oil. Although POME is not toxic, the organic compounds such as residual oil have high oxygen depleting ability which will harm the aquatic ecosystems when released into the environment. Thus, effective treatmen...
