Research conducted on the investigation of adsorbent morphology characteristics of some agro-based
materials for the purpose of treatment application was carried out to examine the potential in terms of
element present in it. The agro-based material considered are plantain Ogoni Red (POR), Banana
Ogoni Red (BOR), Banana Native (BN), Plantain Agbagba 1 (PA1), Plantain Agbagba 2 (PA2) and 34
banana of different particle size examined. The result of elements of the morphology of each adsorbent
by weight percent was determined using the conceptual procedure of x-ray florescence (CPXRF) and
energy dispersive X-ray florescence (EDXRF) concepts. The research further revealed the possible
element present in each of the agro-based material with the effect of particle size. The elements
identified are silicon (Si), Magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), Aluminium (Al), Potassium (K), Sulphur (S)
and Oxygen for 34 Banana sample, whereas for plantain Agbagba 2 (PA2), Iron (Fe) was present but
Magnesium (Mg) and Sodium (Na) were absent. In the case of Plantain Agbagba 1 (PA1) the following
elements was identified for Banana calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Oxygen (O), Carbon ©, Silicon
(Si), Iron (Fe), Potassium (K), Sodium (Na) and Sulphur (S) and same element were identified for
Banana Native (BN) and Banana Ogoni Red (BOR). The element weight percent of each sample vary
with effect of particle size and sample specie. This research has shown that the element weight percent
of sample determination in term of morphology is dependent of particle size as well as sample specie.
