This research aimed to investigate the potential of chemically modified banana blossom peels (BBP) as an adsorbent for removing manganese (Mn) from water. Zeta potential, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and...
