GONZALES RAMOS, Diana Catalina; ROBLES LORA, Marcos Alejandro e ESCURRA LAGOS, Jean Carlos. Efficiency of Manihot esculenta peel for the bioadsorption of lead in contaminated waters. Rev. Inv. Cs. Agro. y Vet. [online]. 2024, vol.8, n.23, pp.643-651. Epub 02-Maio-2024. ISSN 2664-0902. https://doi.org/10.33996/revistaalfa.v8i23.292.
The Moche River, particularly in its middle basin, is used for irrigation purposes, but faces challenges related to contamination due to multiple factors, resulting in inadequate use of this water resource. One of the contaminants that is frequently present in this body of water is lead, affecting the ecosystem and local communities. The objective is to determine the efficiency of cassava peel in the removal of lead present in the Moche River water, using the percentage of removal as a measure. For this purpose, a methodology that adopted a quantitative approach was implemented, being a cross-sectional study with an experimental design. First, samples were collected in situ, which were subsequently taken to the laboratory for the preparation of the bioadsorbent and the identification of lead concentrations before and after the application of cassava peel. The results obtained revealed a direct relationship between the concentration of the bioadsorbent and the efficiency of lead removal, showing that the higher the concentration, the more effective the removal. In conclusion, the yucca peel showed a remarkable efficiency in the removal of lead in the Moche river water, achieving up to 83% removal under the conditions evaluated.
