The leading producer and exporter of palm oil is Malaysia. The wastewater generated during the manufacturing of palm oil emanates a very foul odour that causes discomfort in the surrounding surroundings, particularly in residential and commercial locations. When palm oil mill effluent (POME) is treated via anaerobic digestion, gases like ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen sulphide (H2S), which are created by anaerobic bacteria, are released. The scent from industrial processes can cause a variety of illnesses, including headaches, nausea, and skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. It is crucial to address the odour pollution created by the palm oil mill's treatment ponds, which practically made the surrounding environment less comfortable. Therefore, it is necessary to lower H2S and NH3 concentrations in order to manage odour and protect public health. In order to investigate the properties and determine its usefulness as an adsorbent with its impact on the removal efficiency of ammonium and sulphate produced by POME, peat soil was used as a natural adsorbent. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the adsorbent procedure is the most effective method for removing odours caused by POME. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine how well peat soil functions as an adsorbent for eliminating odorous compounds from POME.
