Palm oil mill sludge (POMS) is a significant industrial waste generated in Malaysian palm oil mills. The re-utilisation of POMS as a value-added adsorbent for copper sequestration is highly desirable as a means for solid waste reduction. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the adsorption perf...
