Removal of Heavy Metal Ions with Acid Activated Carbons Derived from Oil Palm and Coconut Shells

In this work, batch adsorption experiments were carried out to investigate the suitability of prepared acid activated carbons in removing heavy metal ions such as nickel(II), lead(II) and chromium(VI). Acid activated carbons were obtained from oil palm and coconut shells using phosphoric acid under...
