Abstract

Banana peel (BP), a by-product of the fruit processing industry that is widely available, has been applied in this study as an effective biomaterial for the removal of Black Dycem TTO (DTTO) dye from aqueous solution. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis, and point of zero charge (pHpzc) have all been used to characterize the biosorbent. Large active groups (like OH, NH, and C=O) on the BP surface are observed by FTIR analysis. It was discovered that BP’s BET surface area was 35.4 m2 g−1. SEM results showed a rough and a smoothing surface before and after dye biosorption, respectively. The optimum conditions for pH, BP amount and DTTO concentration were found to be 2, 0.005 g and 10 mg L−1, respectively. Under these conditions, removal efficiency was found to be 80.8%. The Langmuir isotherm provided a better description of the biosorption of DTTO on BP. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity was found to be 54.34 mg g−1 at 25 °C. The kinetic studies disclosed pseudo-second-order for the studied biomaterial. The thermodynamic studies disclosed favorable, spontaneous, and exothermic processes. Consequently, this work showed that DTTO could be removed using low-cost material waste under appropriate conditions through an environmentally friendly process.
