Adsorptive removal of phenol from aqueous solution on a modified palm shell-based carbon: fixed-bed adsorption studies

In this study, activated carbon from oil palm shell was produced by two-step chemical activation using K2CO3 as the chemical activant in the ratio 1:2 for the removal of phenol in a fixed-bed column. The characterization of the carbon was carried by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, Scanning...
