Abstract
One of the biggest industrial sectors in the world and a major driver of economic expansion is the textile industry. However, because textile effluents contain a variety of pollutants, such as dyes, heavy metals, and organic compounds, their disposal into water bodies has sparked grave environmental concerns. This study looked into the evaluation of water quality in textile effluent and how to treat it with banana peel, an inexpensive adsorbent. Through batch tests, the efficiency of banana peels (Musa sapientum) in eliminating contaminants from textile effluent was assessed and contrasted with traditional treatment techniques. The outcomes showed that banana peels could be a viable substitute for treating textile effluent, providing the textile sector with an economical and environmentally friendly way to reduce water pollution.
