Activated carbon (AC) prepared from palm kernel was modified by citric acid (CA) to enhance its ability for Pb(II) removal from aqueous solutions. The product obtained was characterized using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, Fourier transform infrared, spectroscop...
