What is it about?
This research focused on the preparation of adsorbent from rice husk at different temperature. The prepared adsorbent has been characterized in term of surface chemistry, morphology and surface area. The characteristics of adsorbent have influenced the performance of adsorbent for phosphate removal. Other parameters studied in this research were the effect of adsorbent dosage, ph and initial phosphate concentration on adsorption capacity. The experimental results were also compared with langmuir and freundlich isotherm together with statistical analysis.

Why is it important?
More simple method for adsorbent preparation which can be a basic knowledge for the production of adsorbent or activated carbon from rice husk. It is also a good way of phosphate removal with effective cost.
Perspectives
Writing this article make me learnt lot of things. Good comments from reviewer that make me improved and be patient to make correction one by one until the reviewer satisfied. It looks common research but hopefully can help others to find out the simpler and low cost method for adsorbent preparation especially for pollutants removal in water and wastewater treatment.
