    The document outlines the basis for calculating the amount of banana peel needed based on the plant's capacity to produce potassium carbonate. It provides the chemical reactions and stoichiometric conversion factors used to determine that 22,200 kg of banana peel per day would be needed for a plant with a capacity of producing 3000 kg of potassium carbonate per day.
