Agricultural Waste as a Low-Cost Adsorbent

Yung-Tse Hung, Kevin P Holloman

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

    Abstract

    The use of low-cost adsorbents from agricultural wastes was reviewed for industrial applications. Agricultural Waste is needed for sustainable agricultural practices but could also be considered essential in wastewater treatment operations. Adsorption will be reviewed heavily in this chapter. Chemical and physical characteristics that aid its role as an adsorbent and the suitable industrial applications will be explored.
