“…Environmental pollution has become a major threat to the ecological community due to the existence of lethal substances such as heavy metals and organic pollutants in the air, water, and soil. Rapid economic development and population growth, as well as advancement in different industries, including agriculture, is the key cause of environmental pollution [1,2]. Environmental pollutants, such as waste burning, synthetic industries, and coal conversion, pose a major danger to the abiotic environment (air, water, and soil) and biotic populations (plants, animals, and humans).…”

This study aims to comprehensively investigate the current advances in water treatment technologies for the elimination of heavy metals using biomass-based adsorbents. The enhancement of adsorption capacity in biomass materials is achieved through surface modification, which increases their porosity and surface area. The study therefore focuses on the impact of different surface modification techniques on the adsorption capacity, as well as the evaluation of adsorptive removal techniques and the analysis of various isotherm and kinetics models applied to heavy metal contaminants. The utilization of kinetic and isotherm models in heavy metal sorption is crucial as it provides a theoretical background to understand and predict the removal efficiency of different adsorbent materials. In contrast to previous studies, this research examines a wide range of adsorbent materials, providing a comprehensive understanding of their efficacy in removing heavy metals from wastewater. The study also delves into the theoretical foundations of the isotherm and kinetics models, highlighting their strengths, limitations, and effectiveness in describing the performance of the adsorbents. Moreover, the study sheds light on the regenerability of adsorbents and the potential for their engineering applications. Valuable insights into the state-of-the-art methods for heavy metal wastewater cleanup and the resources required for future developments were discussed.

The inevitable depletion of fossil resources and the resulting anthropogenic climate change require a shift towards renewable feedstocks and eco‐friendly technologies for greener energy, fuel, and chemicals production. This mini‐review highlights our relevant research contributions to advance the production of carbon‐neutral propylene, 1,2‐propanediol and biohydrogen through thermo‐chemical conversion of biomass‐derived glycerol, using various heterogeneous catalysts. These achievements, recently recognized by the “ACI/NBB Glycerine Innovation Award,” are organized into shared sections: (i) economic and environmental benefits of utilizing surplus bioglycerol, as feedstock, (ii) strategies to improve the properties of transition metals‐based catalysts (e.g., Pt, Pd, Ni, Cu or Mo supported on γ‐Al2O3 or SiO2) for glycerol conversion via: steam reforming, aqueous‐phase reforming, hydrogenolysis, and hydrodeoxygenation reactions, (iii) discussion on the catalytic roles of metallic, acidic and/or redox sites, and keys factors affecting catalyst stability and selectivity in these reactions operated under H2O‐rich conditions, and (iv) assessment of reaction configurations and operating conditions for improved glycerol conversion into the target product, H2 utilization efficiency and CO2 emissions. The insights aim to guide the continuous improvement of bioglycerol upgrading processes.
