Abstract
The potential of banana peel (BP) on the cesium removal from aqueous solutions is study by using different design parameters by adsorption process. The design parameters studied to adsorb cesium using BP as an adsorbent material were initial concentration of cesium , absorbance material packing height which was BP, pH of cesium feed inlet, treatment time, feed flow rate and feed temperature, results show that the higher removal efficiency was 97.50 % for cesium from aquatic solution and this efficiency was decreased with increasing of initial concentration and flow rate while the removal efficiency increased with increasing pH, sorption media bed height and feeding temperature. By this way we can possess different benefits which are: remove the hazard and toxic cesium contaminated the water and get rid of waste BP.
