Low cost biosorbent “banana peel” for the removal of phenolic compounds f…

Abstract. The aim of thiswork is to determine the potential of application of banana peel as a biosorbent for removing phenolic compounds fromolive millwastewaters. The effect of adsorbent dosage, pH and contact time were investigated. The results showed that the increase in the banana peel dosage from 10 to 30 g/L significantly increased the phenolic compounds adsorption rates from 60 to 88…
