Oil palm empty fruit bunch grafted polyvinyl alcohol (OPEFB-g-PVA) hydrogel was prepared for the removal of Nickel (II) ions in wastewater. OPEFB-g-PVA was synthesized using ammonium persulfate (APS) as the initiator and boric acid as the crosslinking agent via solution polymerization. Atomic absorp...
