Abstract Two forms of activated carbon (i.e., granular and powdered forms) used to test mercury removal in solution. These carbons were obtained from the shells a palmae biomass ion aquatic systems. The African shell taken out broadly simply full-fledged palm tree. This serves as precursor formulation not documented. fractions described for chemical composition, isoelectric point, surface area....

treatment efficiency, design factors and kinetic coefficients were studied using two pilots of activated sludge (as) and powdered activated carbon technology (pact), for treating tehran oil refinery effluent, in a duration of more than 12 months in order to evaluate the performance of each system against growth inhibitor shock loads, different concentrations of phenol and furfural (10-300 mg/l)...
