In this study, the anionic surfactant-coated-cationized banana trunk was synthesized and characterized for batch adsorption of benzene from aqueous solution. The surface morphology, surface chemistry, surface area, and pore properties of the synthesized adsorbents were examined. It was proven that surface cationization successfully increased the benzene adsorption capacity of sodium dodecyl sulfate-coated adsorbents. The Langmuir isotherm model satisfactorily described the equilibrium adsorption data. The maximum benzene adsorption capacity (q max ) of 468.19 μmol/g was attained. The kinetic data followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model in which the rate-limiting step was proven to be the film diffusion. The batch-adsorbent regeneration results indicated that the M-1CTA-SDS-BT could withstand at least five adsorption/desorption cycles without drastic adsorption capacity reduction. The findings demonstrated the adsorptive potential of agroforestry-based adsorbent as a natural and cheap material for benzene removal from contaminated water. © 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. date: 2019 publisher: Springer Verlag official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85062035611&doi=10.1007%2fs11356-019-04248-5&partnerID=40&md5=2f4881de05c2e98582770f1d8848d908 id_number: 10.1007/s11356-019-04248-5 full_text_status: none publication: Environmental Science and Pollution Research volume: 26 number: 11 pagerange: 11140-11152 refereed: TRUE issn: 09441344 citation: Kong, H. and Saman, N. and Tee, P.N. and Cheu, S.C. and Song, S.T. and Johari, K. and Lye, J.W.P. and Che Yunus, M.A. and Mat, H.
