“…So the development of other adsorbents from biomass waste should be vital to minimize the heavy metal ions from entering the water bodies. The activated carbon produced from Loblolly pine chips removes 167.3 mg/g of Cd 2+ pollutant, radish press cake removes 500 mg/g of Pb 2+ pollutant which is the highest rate of removal and the lowest was recorded with Rice husk, 1.5 mg/g of Cr 6+ pollutant [29].…”

“…The adsorption is used in polishing of treated palm oil mill effluent prior to discharge to meet the waste water discharge order. The adsorbent derived from sugar cane bagasse removes 97.83% of color, 88.14% of COD and 47.25% of NH3-N which is an efficient adsorbent and lowest was recorded with coconut shell comprising 39% of TS's, 66% of COD and 61% of color in palm oil mill effluent [29].…”

“…The consumption of metal and anions usually causes severe damage to human body, chronic effects instead of acute effects [29]. The efficiency of adsorption in removal of contaminants from waste water through activated carbon is undesirable due to the low affinity towards heavy metals [30].…”

“…This ability is to a great extent due to their auxiliary properties in addition to the spongy nature which gives them a vast surface area, as well as easily modified compound nature via different chemical treatment . The primary sources of carbon are naturally available materials such as wood, coal, coconut shell as well as several other carbonaceous materials . Agricultural and industrial wastes are the most prominent precursor employed in the preparation of activated carbon due to their low cost and abundant availability …”

A Critical Insight into Biomass Derived Biosorbent for Bioremediation of Dyes

Organic pollutants, such as dyes released during industrial operations are one of the major reasons for the degradation of water quality. However, treatment technologies to remediate these high volumes of wastewaters are often not sufficient. Hence, the excess dye wastewater generated is usually discharged without prior treatment. The use of adsorbents such as activated carbon is widely employed to separate dye molecules from wastewater. Biochar is a popular recent alternative for the treatment of dye‐bearing effluents to selectively isolate dye molecules. Biochar is normally manufactured in the oxygen free environment by thermal degradation of organic materials. On the other hand, dyes are extensively employed in many textile industries because of their desirable properties including attractive colour, water‐fast and easy application methods. Nevertheless, during the dyeing process of cellulose fibres around half of the applied dyes may enter the wash water, and these let outs are highly resistant to traditional wastewater treatment methods. Henceforth, new techniques need to be applied for successful remediation of dye wastewaters. In this perspective, an endeavor has been made in this work to explore the possibility and practicability of biochar as sorbent material for dyes.

Oilseeds processing, refining and processing of vegetable oils, and further processing into oleochemicals, produces a variety of waste products. In no other industry is the proper handling of these wastes as dependent on the understanding and control of the processes. This article reviews major processes and facilities, particularly as they relate to waste generation and control. Wastes from a well‐run facility are first defined, followed by an analysis of those processes that are the largest potential waste generators. In addition, those factors are reviewed that affect process control as it relates to waste generation, followed by a review of current issues. A final section addresses the fundamentals of wastewater treatment processes often employed in fats and oils and oilseeds processing. This article addresses air and solid waste aspects of the industries as well, but the primary focus is on wastewater; emerging technologies have also been included where appropriate.
