The removal of ammonia-nitrogen from aqueous solution by using partly decomposed oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) fibers has been investigated in this study. The unmodified EFB fiber was superior than highly concentrated sodium hydroxide (1.25 M) modified EFB for ammonia-nitrogen removal. The biosor...
