Abstract

The investigation into the ability of a natural coagulant banana peel to treat refinery and petrochemical waste water has been studied. The waste generated from various activities in these industries is usually disposed and promotes environmental degradation. Coagulation method was used in the treatment of the wastewater. Results reveal that turbidity of the waste water was 39.3%. The banana peel had a turbidity removal efficiency of 71.9% at pH of 8.0.
