“…Alslaibi et al (2014) experimented with adsorption of the heavy metals Fe +2 , Pb +2 y Cu +2 present in wastewater with activated carbon made from olive stone (Olea europaea) with high efficiency (99.32% Fe +2 , 98.83% Pb +2 and 98.55% Cu +2 removal). Other contaminants such as Cd have been removed from water using activated carbon made from the digestion residue of corn straw silage (Zea mays) (Tao et al, 2019), and pine wood (Pinus tabuliformis) (Liu et al, 2016). Furthermore, Mahmoud et al (2021) removed Cd +2 and Sm from water samples using activated carbon from artichoke (Cynara scolymus) leaf litter.…”

The problem addressed is the contamination of the Yarinacocha Lagoon water by heavy metals and poor use of agricultural residues. It was manufactured activated carbon from cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) pod husks and determined its adsorbent effect in removing polluting metals from the waters of the Yarinacocha Lagoon. The response surface methodology was applied with factorial designs 33 and 32, with three replicates to optimize obtaining the adsorbent and measure its effectiveness in metal removal. The modeling of the pyrolysis process resulted in 17.27 g of activated carbon from 295.72 g of dry pod husks, optimal with the following optimal parameters: 150 °C as activation temperature, 450 °C as carbonization temperature, and 2.5 hours as modification time. This resulted in effective removal of pollutant metals (aluminum: 91.43%, copper: 75%, iron: 58.33% and zinc: 58.33%), from waters samples demonstrating that it is possible to manufacture activated carbon from cocoa pod husks, with an adsorbent potential to remove metals from the waters of the Yarinacocha Lagoon.

“…The total fresh weight of lotus root, leaf, and dry weight of rhizome increased with increasing the application amount of biochar. 16 Malondialdehyde (MDA), a final decomposition product of membrane lipid peroxidation under conditions of aging or stress, can reflect the degree of harm suffered by a plant. 106 Jiang et al 43 reported that the application of biochar and Ca can increase chlorophyll content and decrease MDA content in water spinach seedlings, which indicated that Pb-induced oxidative stress is alleviated by the application of biochar and Ca.…”

“…The bioconcentration factor of Cd in lotus root decreased by 71% and the biological transfer factor of Cd from underground to ground increased by 1.3 times, which suggested that biochars can alleviate the inuence of heavy metals on lotus root and reduce the accumulation of Cd in the edible parts of lotus root. 16 Biochars have large specic surface areas and are protonated, which can also enable adsorption and immobilization of heavy metals in soil and water environments. Therefore, the absorption of heavy metals by aquatic vegetables was reduced.…”

“…Therefore, to improve the fertility of the soil, remediating polluted water and soil environments and maintaining the ecological balance of the water and soil environment for producing high quality aquatic vegetables have become more and more urgent. It is reported that application of biochars in the cultivation of aquatic vegetables could improve the ooded soil physicochemical properties and fertilities, 12,13 purify the water quality, and alleviate the extent of pollutants, [14][15][16][17][18] which would promote the growth of aquatic vegetables and enhance their yields and qualities.…”

Copper mine tailings pose many threats to the surrounding environment and human health, and thus, their remediation is fundamental. Coal spoil is the waste by-product of coal mining and characterized by low levels of metals, high content of organic matter, and many essential microelements. This study was designed to evaluate the role of coal spoil on heavy uptake and physiological responses of Lolium perenne L. grown in copper mine tailings amended with coal spoil at rates of 0, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, and 20%. The results showed that applying coal spoil to copper mine tailings decreased the diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)-extractable Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn contents in tailings and reduced those metal contents in both roots and shoots of the plant. However, application of coal spoil increased the DTPA-extractable Cr concentration in tailings and also increased Cr uptake and accumulation by Lolium perenne L. The statistical analysis of physiological parameters indicated that chlorophyll and carotenoid increased at the lower amendments of coal spoil followed by a decrease compared to their respective controls. Protein content was enhanced at all the coal spoil amendments. When treated with coal spoil, the activities of superoxide dismutases (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) responded differently. CAT activity was inhibited, but POD activity was increased with increasing amendment ratio of coal spoil. SOD activity increased up to 1% coal spoil followed by a decrease. Overall, the addition of coal spoil decreased the oxidative stress in Lolium perenne L., reflected by the reduction in malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in the plant. It is concluded that coal spoil has the potential to stabilize most metals studied in copper mine tailings and ameliorate the harmful effects in Lolium perenne L. through changing the physiological attributes of the plant grown in copper mine tailings.
