Adsorptive removal of methylene blue by chemically treated cellulosic waste banana (Musa sapientum) peels
Acid-treated banana peel (ATBP) was developed by H2SO4 activation to be a potential adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. Batch mode adsorption studies were conducted by varying adsorbent dosage (0.02–0.30 g), solution pH (3–12), initial MB concentrations (10–300 mg/L) and contact...
