Evaluation of Wastewater Treatment Using Banana Fruit Peel Powder as Natural Coagulant

Abstract

For the survival of living life, water is very essential but also provides immensely to the quality of our lives. Water is very essential to improve living life, several articles have revealed the indirect and direct poisonous impacts of heavy metals in the form of cancers, tumors, and skin allergies. Wastewater treatment always costs little expensive since the use of chemical coagulants, hence practically all village residents go for a substitute to easily available materials generally which is of nominal quality and revealing them to waterborne illnesses. In this research work, experiments were performed to investigate the numerous properties of banana fruit peel powder. This was carried out with varying dosages of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 g/L of banana pith powder as a coagulant. Experiments were performed with not adding or addition of banana pith powder. Also, the requirements achieved from tests indicate a minimal acidic value. The turbidity ratio achieved showed that tests with a variety of dosages of banana peel powder 5gm/L give clean water all along with a turbidity value of 44NTU. Jar test apparatus was used to investigate the optimal dose of banana peel powder, and pH values indicate it as an acidic range, for the banana peel. Results achieved in this analysis provide support to the earlier works, recommending the use of banana peel to treat wastewater. Outcomes accomplished in this examination support the previous works conducted using banana peel powder as a natural coagulant.
