Agriculture waste from banana peel as low cost adsorbent in treating methylene blue from batik textile waste water effluents

Removal of Basic Blue 159 from Aqueous Solution Using Banana Peel as a Low-Cost Adsorbent

In this paper, the adsorption of Basic Blue159 (BB159) onto banana peel as a low-cost material was studied. At first, the banana peel was sieved. Later, banana peel particles were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) techniques. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out as a fu...

Equilibrium Study of Methylene Blue Sorption from Aqueous Solutions by a Low-cost Waste Material: Almond Peel

In the present work, the usefulness of almond peel as a sorbent material has been investigated for the removal of methylene blue from synthetic aqueous solutions in batch conditions. Isotherm of dye sorption was measured. The influence of different experimental parameters such as: almond peel mass, particles size, temperature, initial pH of solution and NaCl concentration on this isotherm was s...

Application of Pomegranate Peel Waste on Biosorption of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solutions

Pomegranate peel waste (PPW), a solid waste, was prepared and tested as biosorbent for the removal of a cationic dye, methylene blue (MB), from aqueous solutions by batch procedure. The effects of pH of solution, biosorbent dosage, contact time, and dye initial concentration on biosorption capacity were studied. MB uptake was favorable at pHs ranging from 5.0 to 12.0. The contact time required ...
