Abstract
). The modification of industrial fruit byproducts (lemon peels and orange peels) showed increases in adsorption efficiencies around 12-6% after incorporating alumina nanoparticles, suggesting that this type of biomass is more suitable for adsorption property enhancement using nanomaterials.
