The removal of carbon dioxide by using modified carbonized oil palm shell in fixed bed column / Amalina Md Dali

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most abundant greenhouse gases which caused severe impact to the environment. This phenomenon could be prevent by reducing the CO2 at flue gas stream before it can be released to the atmosphere. Therefore, this research intends to investigate the carbonized oil palm shell...
