| Abstract | This study describes the preparation, characterisation and application of pelletised immobilised alginate/montmorillonite/banana peels nanocomposite (BPNC) in a fixed-bed column for continuous adsorption of rare earth elements and radioactive minerals from water. The materials was characterised by Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analyses. Analyses indicated that the pellets are porous and spherical in shape. FT-IR analysis showed that the functional groups responsible for the coordination of metal ions were the carboxylic (–COO–) and siloxane (Si–O–Si and Si–O–Al) groups. XRD analysis showed two additional peaks which were attributed to alginate and montmorillonite. The influence of the initial concentration, bed depth and flow rate were investigated using synthetic and real mine water in order to determine the breakthrough behaviour of both minerals. The processed bed volume, adsorbent exhaustion rate and service time, were also explored as performance indices for the adsorbent material. Furthermore, the breakthrough data were fitted to both the Thomas and Bohart–Adams models. The BPNC exhibited high affinity for U, Th, Gd and La in the real mine water sample. However, studies may still be required using waters from different environments in order to determine the robustness of BPNC. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
