The objective of this study is to examine the suitability and performance of cattle-manure-compost(CMC) based activated carbons in removing heavy metal ions from aqueous solution. The influence of ZnCl(2) activation ratios and solution pH on the removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) were studied. Pore textur...
