Sugarcane bagasse-derived adsorbents were activated using different chemical concentration. Acid modified sugarcane bagasse-derived adsorbents of 1.5 M resulted the highest adsorption capacity of 66. Point of zero charge was carried out the explained the reasons. The samples viewed under SEM showed 1.5M acid modified sugarcane bagasse-derived adsorbents have highest microalgae adsorption. Different sizes (710μm, 1mm, 2mm and 4mm) of 1.5M acid modified sugarcane bagasse-derived adsorbents were tested and 4mm-sized sugarcane bagasse-derived adsorbents gave the best adsorption. © 2016 Penerbit Akademia Baru. publisher: Penerbit Akademia Baru date: 2018 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Basri, W.N.F.W. and Lim, J.-W. and Isa, M.H. and Baloo, L. and Uemura, Y. and Bashir, M.J.K. and Lee, Y.-C. and Ching, D.L.C.
