Adsorption of Potassium Nitrate onto spent mushroom compost for agricultural applications
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Bioprocess Engineering, 2017-06)The excessive use of nitrogenous fertilizers in agricultural activities had increased the concentrations of nitrate in surface and ground waters. Therefore, the presence of nitrate in water gives problems to human, aquatic ... -
Bamboo for Copper
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Materials Engineering, 2016-04)In this research, bamboo was used as ac for Cu (II) removal. Original and adsorbed bamboo was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrum (FTIR). The concentration of copper ... -
Banana trunk for zinc (II) removal
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Materials Engineering, 2016-06)The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of agro-waste, namely banana trunk fibres act as an adsorbent for zinc ion removal in aqueous solution. The surface morphology and the functional group exist ... -
Chemical modified coconut husk for potassium removal from aqueous solution : optimization by response surface methodology (RSM)
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Bioprocess Engineering, 2016-06)The ecosystem rating today shows the higher rated regarding the pollution on the heavy metal. The most popular adsorbent for the heavy metal is activated carbon. However, the high market demand on the activated carbon ... -
