ROBLES LORA, Marcos Alejandro; VILCHEZ MOSCOL, Julio; ESCURRA LAGOS, Jean Carlos  e  DIAZ DIAZ, Natalia del Pilar. Activated carbon from banana peel in the adsorption of heavy metals. Rev. Inv. Cs. Agro. y Vet. [online]. 2025, vol.9, n.25, pp.153-163.  Epub 27-Jan-2025. ISSN 2664-0902.  https://doi.org/10.33996/revistaalfa.v9i25.338.

The research proposes to determine the efficiency of the use of activated carbon from banana peel in the adsorption of heavy metals present in the Moche River during the year 2024, this through the evaluation of the concentration of heavy metals, the comparison of the concentration of water before and after the adsorbent in relation to the ECA (Category 1) and finally the determination of the percentage of adsorption of activated carbon from banana peel. Adopting a quantitative approach of explanatory scope, with a pre-experimental design. The population was made up of the water of the Moche River, with a sample of 7 liters, using simple sampling, from June 2024 to September 2024. The results were contrasted with statistical, normality and T Student tests, which indicate that the banana peel demonstrated a high percentage of efficiency in the adsorption of heavy metals (As) in the contaminated water samples of the Moche River, since with the application of 5g a percentage of 78% was obtained, with 7g the The percentage was 85% and with the application of 10g the highest percentage of 88% was obtained since the most optimal adsorbent is 10g of banana peel for the adsorption of heavy metals with arsenic. Concluding that, the method is efficient, since it was possible to reduce more than 50% of what was expected in the adsorption of heavy metals of arsenic in the water of the Moche River.
