Textile waste is produced in the starch process, a starch removal process, coloring, and printing. The use of banana peel (Musa Paradisiaca) was an alternative that was being developed as an absorbent to remove the color content and metal ions in textile waste. The purpose of this study was to analyze the workings and effectiveness of heavy metal adsorption and textile dyes with banana peel waste. Banana peel particles that were ready to be used as adsorbents were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to obtain particle morphology. Absorbance curve of Cu2+ dan Cr6+ can be obtained using spectrophotometric UV-Vis analysis with a wavelength of 635 nm for copper (Cu) and 469 nm for chromium (Cr). The activated carbon of banana peel was applied to 50 ml industrial waste solution and observed changes in absorbance for 120 minutes. The activated carbon was directly in contact with the solution of metal ions but the adsorption power was still not seen effectively so that the Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) test was performed. The results of AAS analysis, namely activated carbon can reduce copper and chromium ion content respectively by 55.5% and 61%. If this activated carbon was used as an adsorbent for dyes in textile waste, the average absorption capacity of dye ion was 12.21% during the contact time of adsorption 120 minutes.

The objective of this research is to study the potential of using banana peel as a biosorbent in removing heavy metal ions (Cu2+, Zn2+ and Pb2+) and oil/grease particles from industrial waste water. The study emphasizes on the parameters involved in the preparation phase of the banana peel adsorbent, such as particle sizes, activating agent, impregnation ratio, carbonization temperature and duration. Based on the findings, it shows that the adsorption capacity is correlated to the total surface area (SBET), pore volume (VT) and average pore diameter (D) of the materials. Sample A20 yields the highest percentage removal for all tested waste water pollutants, suggesting that banana peel based activated carbon can be used effectively as biosorption material.

: Manuscript discussed about the role of polysaccharides and their derivatives in the removal of metal ions from industrial waste water. Quick modernization and industrialization increases the amount of various heavy metal ions in the environment. They can possess various disease in humans and also causes drastic environmental hazards. In this review the recent advancement for the adsorption of heavy metal ions from waste water by using different methods has been studied. Various natural polymers and their derivatives are act as effective adsorbents for the removal of heavy metal ions from the waste water released from the industries and the treated water released into the environment can decreases the chances of diseases in humans and environmental hazards. From the literature surveys it was concluded that the removal of heavy metal ions from the industrial waste water was important to decrease the environmental pollution and also diseases caused by the heavy metal ions. Graft copolymers were acts as most efficient adsorbent for the removal of heavy metal ions and most of these followed the pseudo first order and pseudo second order model of kinetics.

Optimizing the physicochemical properties of the chitosan-based activated carbon (Ch-ACs) can greatly enhance its performance toward heavy metal removal from contaminated water. Herein, Ch was converted into a high surface area (1556 m2/g) and porous (0.69 cm3/g) ACs with large content of nitrogen (~16 wt%) using K2CO3 activator and urea as nitrogen-enrichment agents. The prepared Ch-ACs were tested for the removal of Cr(VI) and Pb(II) at different pH, initial metal ions concentration, time, activated carbon dosage, and temperature. For Cr(VI), the best removal was at pH = 2, while for Pb(II) the best pH for its removal was in the range of 4–6. At 25 °C, the Temkin model gives the best fit for the adsorption of Cr(VI), while the Langmuir model was found to be better for Pb(II) ions. The kinetics of adsorption of both heavy metal ions were found to be well-fitted by a pseudo-second-order model. The findings show that the efficiency and the green properties (availability, recyclability, and cost effectiveness) of the developed adsorbent made it a good candidate for wastewaters treatment. As preliminary work, the prepared sorbent was also tested regarding the removal of heavy metals and other contaminations from real wastewater and the obtained results were found to be promising.

Acid activated carbon obtained from cheap, non-toxic and locally available banana peel was used as a low cost and efficient adsorbent for the removal of dyes methyl orange and rhodamine-B from the aqueous solution. Changes in the resulting material before and after activation and after treatment were studied by different techniques, such as SEM-EDX, XRD, FTIR measurements. Effects of duration of treatment, amount of banana peel activated carbon, pH, and initial methyl orange and rhodamine-B concentration, on the removal of dye were studied to get optimum conditions for maximum dye removal. Removal efficiency of the activated ash remains almost constant in a wide range of pH from 2.5 to 5.6. In 75 min at room temperature removal of 98.5 % methyl orange (anionic) and 99.0 % rhodamine-B (cationic) dyes with 0.1 g and 0.125 g, respectively was obtained from the contaminated water having 10 ppm dye concentration.
