Data on characterization, model, and adsorption rate of banana peel activated carbon (Musa Acuminata) for adsorbents of various heavy metals (Mn, Pb, Zn, Fe).

ABSTRACT: This research contains data on the adsorption test and characterization of banana peel activated carbon as an adsorbent for water contaminated with various heavy metals. Banana peel is a common post-harvest waste, making it easy to obtain. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) is used to investigate the various heavy metal content in polluted water that are harmful to health, such as Mn, Fe, Zn, and Pb in concentrations of 1.351; 1.210; 17.403; and 0.210 mg/L, respectively. These metals exceed the standard limits for clean water quality that are suitable for sanitation hygiene purposes. Banana peel activated carbon samples were tested in polluted water and re-examined using AAS. The parameters used to calculate the percent adsorption of the four heavy metals were variations in adsorbent mas
