Zearalenone Removal by Using Banana Peel as an Adsorbent

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...

Removal of Pb(II) from Aqueous Solution Using Fruits Peel as a Low Cost Adsorbent

Global heavy metal pollution in the environment is a serious concern. The discharge of heavy metals from various anthropogenic and technogenic sources into the aquatic system poses a threat to the health of biota. Heavy metals persist in the environment since they cannot be degraded nor destroyed and finally reach the human through food chain. The major sources of lead pollution into waste wate...

Efficiency in phenol removal from aqueous solutions of pomegranate peel ash as a natural adsorbent

Background: Phenol is an organic pollutant found in industrial effluents that is very toxic to humans and the environment. This study used pomegranate peel ash as a natural absorbent to remove phenol from aqueous solutions. Methods: In this study, pomegranate peel ash in different doses was used as a new adsorbent for the removal of phenol. The effects of contact time, pH, adsorbent dose and i...

Removal of Reactive Red195 Synthetic Textile Dye using Polypyrrole-coated Magnetic Nanoparticles as an Efficient Adsorbent

Magnetic Fe3 O4 nanoparticles modified by polypyrrole (PPy@Fe3 O4 MNPs) was synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method and used as an adsorbent for removal of cationic dyes, Reactive Red195, from aqueous solutions. The resulting products are characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and FT-IR. The effects of solution pH value, adsorbent amount, adsorption time and capacity of the...
