Description
Summary:The expensive cost of starting materials used to prepare commercial activated carbon and the difficulties in regenerating the used activated carbon restricted the activated carbon usage in wastewater treatment industries. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to prepare and modified activated carbons from agricultural wastes abundantly available in Malaysia, namely' oil palm fibre (OPF) and oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB). Kos bahan mentah yang tinggi dalam penghasilan karbon teraktif komersil dan kesukaran dalam penjanaan semula karbon teraktif yang telah digunakan menghadkan penggunaan karbon teraktif dalam industri rawatan air sisa. Oleh itu, penyelidikan ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan karbon teraktif daripada sisa buangan pertanian yang banyak terdapat di Malaysia, iaitu gentian (OPF) dan tandan kosong buah kelapa sawit (OPEFB).
