Palm oil mill effluent treatment using coconut shell
The current ponding system applied for palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment often struggle to comply with the POME discharge limit, thus it has become a major environmental concern. Batch adsorption study was conducted for reducing the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Color of pretreated POME using coconut shellbased activated carbon (CSAC).
