Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
Azo dyes and the byproducts of their degradation have the potential to pollute the environment. Natural water bodies experience less sunlight penetration as a result of these effluents being released into rivers and lakes. Because of their hue, the dyes pollute flowers and the aesthetics because...
Solid Waste Management
Banana waste has a high level of volatile matter, making it a promising feedstock for pyrolysis in bio-oil generation. Thus, an oven drying method optimization study was conducted to find the drying process of Saba banana peel on flap opening and fan speed. Based on the ANOVA results, it was found...
Environmental management and policy
The goal of this investigation was to focus on the viability of synchronous aging of natural product waste with Aspergillus Niger TISTR 3063 co-societies producing ethanol. Additionally noted was how the aging temperature affected the yield of ethanol. Peels from pineapple and banana were used as...
Solid Waste Management
Pectin extraction from various fruits and its application in food products have been debatable issues for ages. We conducted our research on the biomass wastes of the food industry, primarily banana (Musa Acuminata) peels, in order to develop a modified procedure for the effective extraction of this...
Water and wastewater treatment and reuse
The present communication attempts to explore the adsorption potential of Mixed Fruit Peel Waste (MFPW) to remove Sunset Yellow FCF dye from an aqueous solution. The MFPW is a low-cost adsorbent prepared from the peels orange, watermelon and banana. The characterization of MFPW was made through FTIR...
