Abstract:The ability of banana peel powder to remove lead, copper, and nickel was studied, and it was found that treating the peel powder with HCl acid increased the efficiency of the adsorption process for banana peel powder treated with acid at a concentration of 10%, as the removal percentage reached 45%, 30% and 25% for lead, copper, and nickel, respectively. As for the untreated banana peel powder, the removal percentage was 32%, 21%, and 18%. As for the treatment of banana peel powder with the base as NaOH at a c… Show more
