The Effect Of Surface Modification On Activated Carbon Using Citric Acid And Nitric Acid For Copper Removal

Studies on the effects of surface modification on activated carbon (AC) was carried out by oxidizing agents for removal of copper (Cu) in low concentration. A locally produced coconut shell-based activated carbon (AC) was obtained from Versatec Industries in lpoh, Perak was used in this study. The A...
