Abstract: Heavy metals contamination of water is a serious and complex environmental problem due to rapid industrialization, bioaccumulation and non-degradability. Therefore, the reuse of agricultural waste in the process of purifying water from pollutants is an attractive and promising method. Almost inexpensive materials are used to purify water, thus achieving the desired economic and environmental goal. In this study banana peel (BP) was used before and after modification by 0.1M sulphuric acid (H2SO4) to enhance the removal of Zinc Zn(II), Lead Pb(II) and Nickel Ni(II). The effect of various parameters was studied Such as pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage and initial metal ion concentration at 5 ppm. All these parameters were studied in batch experiments for a comparative study. The removal percentage was found to be 84% Zn (II),78%Pb (II) and 72% Ni (II) before modification and 92% Zn (II) , 94% Pb (II) and 96% Ni (II) after modification at initial concentration of 5 ppm. The data obtained from sorption isotherms were described with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models but were found to be well fitted for the Langmuir model. The correlation coefficient values R2 for Langmuir were at the range (0.996-0.999) while that for Freundlich were at the range (0.912-0.972). The rate of adsorption follows Pseudo-second-order kinetics. This work proved the high banana peels efficiency as an adsorbent agent for heavy metals removal from aqueous solutions.
