Abstract

This article is a reply to “Comment on the paper: Ben Ali S, Jaouali I, Souissi-Najar S, Ouederni A, Characterization and adsorption capacity of raw pomegranate peel biosorbent for copper removal, Journal of Cleaner Production (2016)”. Our paper does not contain scientific errors, interpretations, calculations or conclusions in different study parts (Characterization, adsorption, optimization, kinetic, isotherm and thermodynamic study) as Tran Nguyen Hai claimed. We take advantage of this opportunity to correct if there are any typing errors and to improve the FTIR wave number table. That, many objections raised by Tran Nguyen Hai come from (1) comparison of figures with different x-axis scale; (2) calculation and verification based on inappropriate units; (3) comparing to self nonexistent results in cited paper; (4) comparing and evaluating our results dealing with pomegranate peel to orange peel substrate; (5) proposing basic analytical analysis whereas more sophisticated analysis were used; (6) basing on the uncorrected proof version of our paper. Thereafter a reply to any objection raised by Tran Nguyen Hai in Tran, (2017) .
