Enhancing the Efficiency of Banana Peel Bio-Coagulant in Turbid and River Water Treatment Applications

The aim of the present work is to investigate potential use banana peel waste as a natural coagulant and enhance its coagulation performance using green modification approach for removal synthetic water turbidity river treatment. Here, regular powder had an average particle size diameter 978 ± 37 nm 602 13 nm, respectively, while modified possessed 571 41 360 19 diameter, respectively. was investigated at different pH levels, doses, sedimentation times, NaCl quantities. optimum dose found be 0.4 g/L with up 90%. slightly enhanced low quantities less than g/L, but activity reduced higher concentrations even in powder. Banana weaker reduction 76 84% non-modified powders water, addition significant color, total dissolved suspended solids, chemical biochemical oxygen demand. SEM FT-IR characterization were performed confirm mechanism. Such can alternative significantly cost easily available bio-coagulant, which certainly contribute reduction.
