activated carbon made from coconut shell was used as adsorbent to remove Cu, Fe, Zn and Pb present in electroplating wastewater. Parameters such as pH, stirring speed, adsorbent dosage and contact time, were investigated at 32oC. While the pseudo first-order and pseudo second-order models were used to analyze the kinetic data. The pore structure
in activated carbon produced from coconut shell was investigated using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
