Removal of Fluoride using Quaternized Palm Kernel Shell as Adsorbents: Equilibrium Isotherms and Kinetics Studies

Palm kernel shell (PKS) core fibers, an agricultural waste, were chemically modified using N-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (CHMAC) as a quaternizing agent. The potential of quaternized palm kernel shell (QPKS) as an adsorbent for fluoride in an aqueous solution was then studi...
