AB  - The adsorption characteristics of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) on activated carbon 
      prepared from oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) were evaluated. The effects of TCP 
      initial concentration, agitation time, solution pH and temperature on TCP 
      adsorption were investigated. TCP adsorption uptake was found to increase with 
      increase in initial concentration, agitation time and solution temperature 
      whereas adsorption of TCP was more favourable at acidic pH. The adsorption 
      equilibrium data were best represented by the Freundlich and Redlich-Peterson 
      isotherms. The adsorption kinetics was found to follow the pseudo-second-order 
      kinetic model. The mechanism of the adsorption process was determined from the 
      intraparticle diffusion model. Boyd plot revealed that the adsorption of TCP on 
      the activated carbon was mainly governed by particle diffusion. Thermodynamic 
      parameters such as standard enthalpy (DeltaH degrees ), standard entropy (DeltaS 
      degrees ), standard free energy (DeltaG degrees ) and activation energy were 
      determined. The regeneration efficiency of the spent activated carbon was high, 
      with TCP desorption of 99.6%.
