In this study, we have confirmed the capability of a recyclable material known as Banana Peel Tapioca beads - Zero Valent Iron (BTs-ZVI) in the process of producing pearls (beads), which can be developed from the combination of FeCl3 and banana peels known for ZVI formation, in removing PFOA from water.
