Modified oil palm industry solid waste as a potential adsorbent for lead removal

As one of the largest oil palm producers in the world, Malaysia also produces the most abundant residues of palm oil known as empty fruit bunch (EFB). Mismanaging of this residue such as being unused and disposed to sanitary landfills will put the environments in danger. Hence, modification and envi...
