SUMMARY Very fine activated charcoal particles were a problem in separating this adsorbent from the solution after the adsorption process, especially for large sample quantities. Magnetic adsorbents were one way to overcome this. In this research, the magnetic adsorbent Fe3O4-activated charcoal was synthesized using palm fronds as a carbon source. Palm fronds are carbonized at 600⁰C for 60 m…
