ABSTRACT: Due to its adsorption properties, fruit peel waste (FPW) is readily available from agriculture and the food processing industry. This article reviewed the function of FPW in the management of wastewater. Additionally, this article provides information on the use of absorbent materials and modelling in wastewater treatment using nanotechnology. The investigation shows that there is little literature on the properties and behavior of commercial plants' adsorbents. The results for FPW as adsorbents are also not readily available. However, due to its affordability, FPW is regarded as an efficient method of wastewater treatment.  The available research verified that FPW is a highly effective adsorbent for removing heavy metals and dyes. More research is needed to understand how FPW adsorbents behave while removing organic and gaseous contaminants.
