larvae can use organic wastes as a substrate, which makes them an interesting potential feed. However, waste may contain heavy metals, which are limited in feed. Here, we investigated the ability of to grow on organic wastes and measured their heavy metal bioaccumulation.

These activated carbons were characterized using various analytical techniques. The results showed that AAC and PAC had surface areas of 1203 and 1095 m g, respectively.

Adsorption by fixed-bed column is usually used to remove mineral and organic contaminants from the aqueous phase. The adsorption of the boron onto activated carbon, prepared from palm bark, is studied.
