The study was based on the adsorption principle of colour removal from POME using natural bio-sorbents Coconut Shell activated carbon (CS-AC) pre-treated by microwave irradiation. The effect of operating parameters such as pH, adsorbent dosage, and contact time was varied at different ranges: 2-8.5;...
