SUMMARY Fly ash resulting from burning coal in an electric steam power plant furnace is fine and pozolanic, produced in high volume every year. The main components of coal fly ash are silicate (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3), and iron oxide (Fe2O3). In this study, fly ash was used as an adsorbent which was activated by the chemical activation method using NaOH activator with various activator concentr…
