The abundant oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) as by-product of palm oil milling processes exhibits a potential as an alternative cellulose feedstock for bio-adsorbent. This study aimed to produce a highly carboxylated bio-adsorbent for direct industrial application from OPEFB-based cellulose via m...
