Batch adsorption of COD and NH3–N from palm oil mill effluent onto natural adsorbents from activated coconut shells carbon (ACSC), activated cow bones powder (ACBP) and zeolite has been investigated under hydrophobic and hydrophilic conditions. The study also investigates the suitability of the natu...
