Utilization of Sago Waste as an Adsorbent for the Removal of Cu(II) Ion from Aqueous Solution

The preparation of activated carbon (AC) from sago industry waste is a promising way to produce a useful adsorbent for Cu(II) removal, as well as dispose of sago industry waste. The AC was prepared using sago industry waste with H2SO4 and (NH4)2S2O8 and physico-chemical properties of AC were investi...
