In this study the copper and lead adsorption efficiency onto banana peels powder was investigated. The agro-industrial waste recovery represents one of the Circular Economy pillars. In the view of the synthesis of an environmentally friendly adsorbent material, the powder was used without any preliminary chemical or thermal activation, but only after simple washing, drying and grinding. The bio-adsorbent was characterized by the FTIR technique and tested in batch mode on synthetic aqueous solutions containing Pb and Cu in the range 10-90 mg.L-1. A selection of two(Langmuir, Freundlich) and three (Sips, Redlich-Peterson, Koble-Corrigan) parameter isotherm models was chosen to fit adsorption equilibrium data by non-linear regression procedure. The best fit isotherm model was selected relying on the error function with the lowest average percentage error (APE) value, among those characterized by the highest R-2 values. As expected, the three-parameter models are found to better represent both metals bio-adsorption, with APE and R-2 values always lower and higher, respectively, than the corresponding values obtained for the two-parameter models.
