Abstract

Banana peels are natural, efficient, eco-friendly and cost-effective for removal of antimony from water. Adsorption efficiency can be determined by using different adsorption isotherm models, such as Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin. In this investigation, the above isotherm models, besides kinetic and thermodynamics models, are employed to explain the performance of utilizing banana peels for antimony remediation from polluted solutions. The performance can be detected by matching the correlation coefficients of the linear mathematical relations for all models. Using banana peels, 83.47% antimony ions removal percentage was achieved. Antimony removal exponentially rises with rising pH, contact time, agitation speed, temperature and adsorbent’s media dose; however, it decreases with rising the initial concentration of the metal. The results show that the model of Langmuir gives an R2 of 0.9999, while other models give less correlation coefficient. Furthermore, the kinetic part shows that the adsorption matches the pseudo-second-order kinetic model by a correlation coefficient very close to 1. Finally, according to the thermodynamics study, the adsorption was spontaneous, endothermic enthalpy and of low entropy change.
