“…Therefore, the present work was processed with this material for further investigations. Bakar and the co-worker (2021) developed an activated carbon derived from banana peels with different pyrolysis temperatures [ 29 ]. The study found that the highest BET surface area was at 470 °C (684 m 2 /g) and 355 m 2 /g, 587, and 503 m 2 /g for 450 °C, 490 °C and 510 °C, respectively.…”

“…Phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 ) is a widely used activating agent that has been extensively investigated for its role in the production of activated carbons from agricultural waste [28]. The dried BP (25 g) was soaked in 500 mL acid solutions (25% v/v of acid) in one liter Erlenmeyer flask following the earlier reported method with a slight modification [29]. The experiment was conducted on an electric hotplate for a period of 4 h at a temperature of 80 • C. After that, the impregnation agent was withdrawn, and the impregnated BP was oven-dried at 110 • C for 6 h. Following that, BP was carbonized at temperatures 350 • C, 450 • C, and 550 • C for 30 min.…”

Due to the growing concerns about pharmaceutical contamination and its devastating impact on the economy and the health of humans and the environment, developing efficient approaches for removing such contaminants has become essential. Adsorption is a cost-effective technique for removing pollutants. Thus, in this work, banana peels as agro-industrial waste were utilized for synthesizing activated carbon for removing pharmaceuticals, namely amoxicillin and carbamazepine from different water matrices. The chemically activated carbon by phosphoric acid (H3PO4) was carbonized at temperatures 350 °C, 450 °C and 550 °C. The material was characterized by several techniques such as scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Boehm titration, point of zero charge (pHPZC), BET surface area (SBET), the proximate and ultimate analyses, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and thermos-gravimetric analysis (TGA). The SEM of banana peel activated carbon (BPAC) depicted a semi-regular and heterogeneous morphology, characterized by an abundance of pores with diverse forms and sizes. Boehm titration revealed an increase in the amounts of acidic groups by 0.711 mmol/g due to activation by H3PO4. FTIR recorded different peaks suggesting significant modifications in the spectroscopic characteristics of the BPAC surface due to the successful activation and adsorption of the pollutant molecules. The pHpzc of BPAC was calculated to be 5.005. The SBET surface area dramatically increased to 911.59 m2/g after the activation. The optimum conditions were 25 °C, a materials dosage of 1.2 g/L, a saturation time of 120 min, a pollutants mixture of 25 mg/L, and a pH of 5. Langmuir exhibits a slightly better fit than Freundlich with a low value of the residual sum of squares (SSE) and the data were better fitted to the pseudo-second-order kinetic. Furthermore, the efficacy of BPAC in eliminating pharmaceuticals from Milli Q water, lake water, and wastewater was successfully investigated over the seven cycles. The results of the present work highlighted a potential usage of agro-industrial waste in eliminating organic micropollutants while exhibiting sustainable management of this waste.

Activated carbon (AC) produced from agro-industrial waste is an interesting adsorbent in water purification and effluent treatment processes. In this work, activated biochar (BFAC) from banana peel waste (BPF) was prepared by chemical activation (NaOH) followed by pyrolysis at 600 °C to remove methylene blue (MB) from wastewater. BFAC was characterized by TGA, XRD, SEM, and FTIR techniques. The influence of dye concentration (10, 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 mg L−1) and zero point charge (ZPC) were investigated. Besides, a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was conducted to evaluate and analyze the environmental effects of the developed process. BFAC presented a well-developed pore structure with a predominance of mesopores and macropores, influencing the MB removal capacity. The highest efficiency for dye removal was 62 % after 10 min to an initial concentration of 50 mg.L-1. Temkin, Langmuir, and Freundlich, isotherm models defined the adsorption isotherms well. The Langmuir model represented the best fit of experimental data for BFAC with a maximum adsorption capacity of 417 mg g−1. Regarding LCA, a prospective approach at the early stage of development was conducted to orient the transition from laboratory to industrial scale, aiming at providing a competitive CO2-based technological route. The proposed scenarios suggest that this route is promising either from the life cycle assessment or the circular economy perspective. Thus, BFAC can be considered as an adsorbent of great practical application for post-treatment of wastewater effluents aiming to remove contaminants.

“…In general, there are three different adsorption processes: exchange ion, chemical, and physical (stronger bonding and largely irreversible). Adsorption is regarded as one of the cost-effective and low-maintenance treatment options due to the local availability of the material and the fact that the process is temperature-dependent [7].…”

Water pollution is a severe health concern. Several studies have recently demonstrated the efficacy of various approaches for treating wastewater from anthropogenic activities. Wastewater treatment is an artificial procedure that removes contaminants and impurities from wastewater or sewage before discharging the effluent back into the environment. It can also be recycled by being further treated or polished to provide safe quality water for use, such as potable water. Municipal and industrial wastewater treatment systems are designed to create effluent discharged to the surrounding environments and must comply with various authorities’ environmental discharge quality rules. An effective, low-cost, environmentally friendly, and long-term wastewater treatment system is critical to protecting our unique and finite water supplies. Moreover, this paper discusses water pollution classification and the three traditional treatment methods of precipitation/encapsulation, adsorption, and membrane technologies, such as electrodialysis, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, and other artificial intelligence technology. The treatment performances in terms of application and variables have been fully addressed. The ultimate purpose of wastewater treatment is to protect the environment that is compatible with public health and socioeconomic considerations. Realization of the nature of wastewater is the guiding concept for designing a practical and advanced treatment technology to assure the treated wastewater’s productivity, safety, and quality.
