Abstract
This research work entails the effects of high concentration of manganese and nickel in our environment and the need to reduce/remove them from the environment using activated carbon
derived from palm kernel shell. The ability of the activated carbon before and after interaction with the adsorbates was ascertained. The results obtained indicate that with increase in the adsorbent (activated carbon) mass, the percentage removal of the ions increased and with
increase in the contact time the percentage removal of the adsorbent also increased.
