TI  - The reuse of biosludge as an adsorbent from a petrochemical wastewater treatment 
      plant.
PG  - 1042-51
AB  - Biosludge was obtained from a petrochemical industry's biological wastewater 
      treatment plant. Zinc chloride (ZnCl2) was used as a sludge activation agent 
      during the pyrolytic process. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) image 
      photographs, element composition, surface functional group, and pore structure 
      were analyzed for the sludge adsorbent characteristics. Results indicated the 
      proper ZnCl2-immersed concentration, pyrolytic temperature, and time could 
      produce adsorbent from the biosludge. The optimal conditions for a larger surface 
      area adsorbent were 3 M ZnCl2-immersed sludge pyrolyzed at 600 degrees C for 30 
      min and washed with 3 N hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution and distilled water. The 
      predominant pore size of the sludge adsorbent was the mesopore.
