Separation of Carotenes and Vitamin E from Palm Oil Mill Effluent Using Silica from Agricultural Waste as an Adsorbent
Palm oil mill effluent (POME) was characterized. The effluent had low nitrogen with high Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). 6,500 mg/L of oil (78 % of oil recovery) was recovered from 1 L of POME using n-hexane. 70 and 71 % of BOD and COD in POME were significantly re...
