Impregnation of palm shell activated carbon with polyethyleneimine and its effects on Cd2+ adsorption

Palm shell activated carbon (AC) was impregnated with low (LMW) and high molecular weight (HMW) polyethyleneimine (PEI) via batch adsorption. The maximum amount of LMW PEI adsorbed on AC was determined to be approximately 425 mg/g carbon while the maximum adsorbed HMW PEI was 2.8 mg/g carbon. The LM...
