The production of activated carbon from agricultural waste is one of the mostenvironmental friendly solutions of transforming less valuable into more valuable materials and it is also a way of converting waste to wealth.Rice husks, maize cobs and coconut shells were individually used to prepare activated carbon under the same experimental condition

The integration of simulation-based optimization and data mining is an emerging approach to support decision-making in the design and improvement of manufacturing systems.In such an approach, knowledge extracted from the optimal solutions generated by the simulation-based optimization process can provide important information to decision makers, su
