Adsorption of Estradiol from aqueous solution by hydrothermally carbonized and steam activated palm kernel shells

In this study, Ethinylestradiol was removed from aqueous solution (maximum removal 83.1%) by hydrothermally carbonized and steam activated carbon adsorbent prepared from palm kernel shells. The effects of varying adsorbent mass, pH, temperature and concentration of Ethinylestradiol on adsorption wer...
