Comparison of TPH Contaminant Removal Efficiency Using Different Bioadsorbents

Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology  ·  Area of research: Chemical Engineering

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of various bioadsorbents?specifically sun-dried plantain stem fiber, room-dried palm fruit fiber, and room-dried banana stem fiber?in the removal of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) from contaminated water. Conducted through a series of batch operations, the research examines the impact of temperature on contaminant removal efficiencies. Results indicate that sun-dried plantain stem fiber achieved the highest TPH removal rate of 63.21% at 45?C, outperforming both room-dried palm fruit fiber (61.78% at 45?C) and room-dried banana stem fiber (55.33% at 45?C). The findings underscore the potential of these natural bioadsorbents for effective water treatment, with temperature playing a crucial role in optimizing contaminant reduction.
