Abstract
Water hyacinth (WH) has become a considerable concern for people across the globe due to its environmental and socio-economic hazards. Researchers are still trying to control this aquatic weed effectively without other environmental or economic losses. Research on WH focuses on converting this omnipresent excessive biomass into value-added products. The potential use of WH for phytoremediation and utilizing waste biomass in various industries, including agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and bioenergy, has piqued interest. The use of waste WH biomass as a feedstock for producing bioenergy and value-added chemicals has emerged as an eco-friendly step towards the circular economy concept. Here, we have discussed the extraction of bio-actives and cellulose as primary bioproducts, followed by a detailed discussion on different biomass conversion routes to obtain secondary bioproducts. The suggested multi-objective approach will lead to cost-effective and efficient utilization of waste WH biomass. Additionally, the present review includes a discussion of the SWOT analysis for WH biomass and the scope for future studies. An integrated biorefinery scheme is proposed for the holistic utilization of this feedstock in a cascading manner to promote the sustainable and zero-waste circular bio-economy concept.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 819:153056. [PMID: 35032532 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2021] [Revised: 01/07/2022] [Accepted: 01/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Improving the adsorption capacity of adsorbents is a good way to boost their desulfurization efficiency. Optimizing the dispersion of metal nanoparticles and enhancing the stability of the metal valence state are essential to maximizing the adsorption capacity of the metal-loaded desulfurization adsorbent. Pistia stratiotes can absorb the Cu in water and evenly disperse it throughout the plant, allowing the production of a highly dispersed Cu(I) adsorbent (PSAC-Cu(I)). During the usage and storage of PSAC-Cu(I), Cu(I) oxidizes to Cu(II) when it comes in contact with oxygen and water, reducing its adsorptive capacity; hence, we modified PSAC-Cu(I) hydrophobically using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to generate PSAC-Cu(I)-P(200). The outcome of the two-month exposure experiments showed that only 4.7% of the Cu(I) of PSAC-Cu(I)-P(200) was oxidized in the humid atmosphere, whereas PSAC-Cu(I) was almost fully oxidized. Moreover, the dibenzothiophene adsorption capacity of PSAC-Cu(I)-P(200) in a model oil with a water concentration of 250 ppmw is 68 mg g-1, which is 1.62 times that of PSAC-Cu(I). When 10 wt% toluene was added to the model oil, the adsorption desulfurization capacity of PSAC-Cu(I)-P(200) decreased to 86.8% of the original. This shows that PSAC-Cu(I)-P(200) has good stability and excellent adsorptive desulfurization performance.

Abstract
![]()
Increasing nickel
(Ni) demand may spur the need for creative Ni
production methods. Agromining (farming for metals) uses plants that
can accumulate high concentrations of metal in their biomass, called
bio-ore, as a metal extraction strategy. Furthermore, biochar, produced
by biomass pyrolysis under low-oxygen conditions, can be used to remove
Ni from contaminated wastewaters. In this work we investigate whether
biochar synthesized from the Ni-hyperaccumulating plant Odontarrhena
chalcidica (synonymous Alyssum murale) can
be used as a Ni-adsorbing biochar. We grew O. chalcidica on soils with varying Ni concentration, characterized the plants
and resultant biochars synthesized at different pyrolysis temperatures,
and analyzed Ni batch adsorption results to determine the adsorption
capacity of O. chalcidica biochar. We found that
Ni concentration in O. chalcidica increases with
increasing soil Ni but reaches an accumulation limit around 23 g Ni
kg–1 dry weight in dried leaf samples. Pyrolysis
concentrated Ni in the biochar; higher pyrolysis temperatures led
to higher biochar Ni concentrations (max. 87 g Ni kg–1) and surface areas (max. 103 m2/g). Finally, the O. chalcidica biochar adsorption results were comparable
to high-performing Ni adsorbents in the literature. The adsorption
process greatly increased the Ni concentration in some biochars, indicating
that synthesizing biochar from O. chalcidica biomass
and using it as a Ni adsorbent can produce a Ni-enhanced bio-ore with
nickel content higher than all nickel-rich veins currently mined.
