“…The powder XRD patterns are depicted in Figure for ZR1 and ZR2 samples having sharp peaks, indicating the noncrystalline nature of the synthesized materials. The powder patterns obtained match the standard powder patterns (JCPDS card 00-003-0569) . The sharp peak at the corresponding 26.60 2θ value for ZR1 and ZR2 in the PXRD pattern corresponds to the (002) planes of carbon materials, whereas ZR2 has a sharp signal at the 23.05 2θ value, which is due to Fe impregnation and matches well with the crystalline iron species akaganeite (β-FeOOH) .…”

This work reports the investigation of activated carbons from virgin banana peduncle (ZR1) and iron-impregnated banana peduncle (ZR2) as adsorbents for the removal of As(V) and Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solutions. Both adsorbents were characterized through the point of zero charge, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic techniques. The effects of initial pH, contact time, temperature, and initial concentration on metal ion adsorption were investigated. Adsorbents existed as both crystalline and amorphous species having homogeneous surface cavities and surface area of 749.73 and 369.66 m2/g for ZR1 and ZR2, respectively. The maximum As(V) removal of 79.32 and 69.08% was obtained using ZR1 and ZR2, respectively, whereas the maximum Cr(VI) removal was calculated as 69.73% for ZR1 and 73.78% for ZR2. Kinetic modeling data were found to be best fitted for the pseudo-second-order reaction, and rate constants were calculated. The theoretical adsorption capacities (q m) of ZR1 and ZR2 were calculated through Langmuir and Freundlich models. The maximum As(V) adsorption capacities calculated for ZR1 and ZR2 were 13.33 and 9.066 mg/g, respectively, whereas the maximum Cr(VI) adsorption capacity for both was 13.26 mg/g at 298–328 K. The reaction was endothermic with decreased randomness at the solid–liquid interface due to positive entropy and enthalpy values. All kinetic and thermodynamic parameters showed the feasibility of the adsorption process, and characterization after adsorption indicated ZR1 and ZR2 novel activated carbons as efficient and cheapest biosorbents for removing As(V) and Cr(VI).

Over the past century, the world's population has increased greatly. The growth in the population has increased the global food demand, so the food sector has increased its production. As a result of the increased production and consumption, a huge amount of agro-food waste is being generated yearly. Rice husk, wheat straw, sugarcane bagasse, corn husk, peanut shell, eggshell, are just a few examples of agro-food wastes. As these agro-food wastes and their by-products are left unused and unattended, their amount is increasing globally. It is imperative to find ways to put these wastes to environmentally viable use. These wastes find direct uses in biofertilizers, mud houses, animal feed, biofuel, and heat generation in small-scale industries, etc. After heat generation, ashes are considered as a secondary by-product, which can be used as a sustainable and renewable resource for synthesizing value-added products for various applications. This article presents a review of the traditional and advanced methods of utilizing these wastes in household applications, animal feed, fertilizers, fuel generation, pyrolysis, and for the removal of toxic metals from polluted water. These secondary resources can also be used in construction materials and for the synthesis of glasses and glass-ceramics, which can be used in bioengineering, optical, and dielectric materials. Agrofood wastes can be used as resource materials to develop modern materials with better properties instead of using minerals. This not only reduces the environment-and management-related problem of the wastes but also provides a sustainable alternative way to produce cost-effective value-added materials for the benefit of society.

“…The exponential increase of world's population and the trend toward the utilization of eco‐friendly and viable agricultural by‐products creates a steady platform for the continuation of innovation on development of products from the banana by‐products and waste, thus, making it a sustainable income generating commodity. Generating wealth from waste such as from the banana by‐products should be regarded as one of the ways to create an eco‐friendly environment for the future generations (Nik Yusuf et al, 2016; Padam, Tin, Chye, & Abdullah, 2014).…”

A gluten-free Rissol with mature banana (Nanica Cavendish) peel flour (0%, 5%, and 10%) was developed and texture, color, physical, and chemical properties were determined. Results showed that the replacement of 10% of rice flour for banana peel flour (BPF) increased fivefold the fiber content and decreased 1.4-fold the carbohydrate content when compared to the control (without addition of BPF). No significant differences were found on total sugar, chlorides, lipid content, and on water activity. Regarding Rissol texture characteristics, the increase of BPF content increased slightly the hardness, springiness, and chewiness values. The addition of 10% of BPF caused a darkening of the color by 1.5-fold. From this work it was concluded that mature BPF can be added to a gluten-free Rissol with positive impact on its nutritional, texture, and color properties without changing its typical characteristics.
