The use of agricultural by-products has been widely studied to develop effective and inexpensive adsorbent for heavy metal removal. In this study, sago ( M.sagu ) fly ash (FA) was chemically modified afford an operational Pb (II) elimination from water. Chemical modification carried out via acid-base treatment using NaOH HCl. (MFA) characterized proximate, surface morphology, functional groups'...

The effectiveness of microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) for nutrient recovery from a thin stillage stream was determined. When a stainless steel MF membrane (0.1microm pore size) was used, the content of solids increased from 7.0% to 22.8% with a mean permeate flux rate of 45L/m(2)/h (LMH), fat increased and ash content decreased. UF experiments were conducted in batch mode under con...
