Removal of Pb(II), Fe(II) and Zn(II) using activated carbon produced from foxtail palm fruit chemically activated by KOH and H3PO4
The increasing rate of urbanization and continuous developments are the main factor which led to heavy metals contamination into the environment especially in the water bodies. However, the contamination of heavy metal can be treated using adsorption process using activated carbon. Thus, this study...
