Tertiary treatment of palm oil mill effluent (POME) using hydrogen peroxide photolysis method

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is in the form of highly concentrated dark brown colloidal suspension. Despite of being treated using biological treatment, the wastewater is still coloured and indicates the remaining of significant concentrations of organics in the effluent discharge. Hence, tertiary...
