Chemical treatment of wastewater from palm oil mill effluent (POME) in cooperate with biodiesel production

(The international demand for oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is increasing, which lead to the rapid growth of palm oil industry in Malaysia. However, the industry is facing the challenge of sustainable water management due to large volume of water is used in the palm oil mill for the oil extraction p...
