Discussion

Exploratory analysis demonstrates metal ion adsorption potential with banana fiber, suggesting biomass utility.

Banana fiber shows significant adsorption capacity for transition metal ions, supporting its potential as an adsorbent material.
Among the tested ions—Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Zn²⁺—all were effectively adsorbed by banana fiber, indicating its efficiency.
The study also explored adsorption of In³⁺ and Ga³⁺ ions, revealing conditions that allow for their separation when using banana fiber.
These findings imply that utilizing banana fiber for metallurgical purposes could mitigate waste while providing valuable adsorbent capabilities.
