Abstract

Chitosan-based banana fruit peel synthesis by Sol-gel process on chitosan-based banana fruit peel waste in super nanocomposite is the focus of the current study. The waste products from banana fruit peels that were based on chitosan were examined for dye adsorption and described using FTIR spectroscopy, TGA, and SEM. A number of variables, including dosages, pH and temperature, were examined in relation to dye adsorption. According to the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm, adsorption happens on a homogeneous surface through monolayer sorption in the absence of sorbed molecule interaction. The Langmuir equation outperformed the Freundlich equation in terms of fit. The maximum adsorption capacity was computed at various temperatures, pH levels, and dosages. Chitosan-based banana fruit peel has a higher adsorption capacity under the same experimental conditions, making it a potentially more beneficial material than inexpensive adsorbents for dye adsorption from aqueous solutions.
