Modification, Characterization And Utilization Of Banana Trunk Fibers – Musa Acuminate X Balbisiana Colla (ABB Group)

Modification, Characterization And Utilization Of Banana Trunk Fibers – Musa Acuminate X Balbisiana Colla (ABB Group)

There are two parts in this thesis. First part involves unmodified and modified banana trunk fibers (BTF) for the removal of (i) methyl red, a mutagenic monoazo dye, (ii) heavy metals ions, Cd (II), Cu (II), Fe (II) and Zn (II), and (iii) spilled oil in aqueous solution. Sulphuric acid treated BTF a...
