Acid impregnated honeydew rind activated carbon for chromium and zinc removal by Mat Ali@Yunus, Zalilah Murni

“…Heavy metal contamination in aqueous media and industrial discharges are among the significant environmental problems, which have to be encountered due to the toxic nature and the accumulation of these metal ions in the food chains. This study has upcycled an agricultural waste namely honeydew rind (HOR) as a precursor in activated carbon (AC) adsorbent preparation using chemical activation process for Cr(IIl) and Zn(ll) removal from synthetic wastewater. …”
