Özet

© 2020 Plapiqu.In this study, the peels of waste agricul-tural products (banana, orange, potato) were used as biosorbent to remove textile dyes from dye contami-nated water. Biosorption of the commonly used textile dye such as Acid Red P-2BX (AR) was investigated by the peels of different agricultural products. The waste peels of banana, orange and potato were prepared as dried and ash biosorbent. The effects of pH, bio-sorbent type, dye concentration, biosorbent dosage and temperature on dye biosorption were tested at batch scale level. The best removal of dye was per-formed by the banana peel. Biosorption by dried ba-nana peel for AR dye was found to be 73.58% at opti-mum conditions. It was concluded that dried banana peels were effectively used in the treatment of textile dye-contaminated water.
