Adsorption of residue oil from palm oil mill effluent using powder and flake chitosan: Equilibrium and kinetic studies
TLDR
The results obtained showed that chitosan powder, at a dosage of 0.5g/l, 15min of contact time and a pH value of 5.0, presented the most suitable conditions for the adsorption of residue oil from POME.About:
