Abstract
Natural squanders organic Wastes like banana peels offer an achievable and practical ways
to deal with oust poisonous or substantial metals and ties the unsafe heavy metals and expel
them from the water. It can be used in order to replace the chemical composition to treat
water contaminations. For instance, environmental pollution from dumping area is a
challenging issue for maintaining the quality and hygiene of water due to the leachates
which contains a countless number of toxins that pours into fresh waterways. This research
aimed to study the effectiveness of Banana peels to remove heavy metals from
Contaminated Water. Also, the discharges of domestic wastewater and industrial effluents
into lakes, rivers, oceans and seas represent a significant potential environment threat to
bio life and human health. The methodology of the researcher is going to use is the various
methodologies that have been experimented in order to improve more viable strategies for
treating water contamination using natural resources. The Adsorption process is found to
be one of the most secure and safe strategy for contaminants coagulation and metal
expulsion. Banana peels which are abundant available discarded fruit waste can be used for
the treatment of water contaminations after having them washed, dried and grounded into
powder. However, it is found that the banana peels have a high impact on decreasing water
pH, clearing turbidity to a high extent and removing heavy metals, like copper and
aluminium, from contaminated water.
