“…A study was done where peanut shells underwent a slow pyrolysis at 400 • C for 2 h to produce biofuel (solid) and it was found that the calorific valve of the peanut shells increased from 12 to 21 kJ after pyrolysis, which shows that there are various ways in which peanut Fig. 4 Outline and overview of circular economy [79] shells can be converted in energy, which contributes to circular economy, sustainability, green economy, and waste management [81].…”

The accumulation of heavy metals in water bodies degrades the water quality and availability. Heavy metals are toxic and can be fatal if consumed. Various techniques such as ion-exchange, precipitation, and adsorption have been used to extract heavy metals in wastewater. The process of adsorption will be reviewed in this study since it uses various adsorbents from industrial waste to agricultural waste and is inexpensive. The production of adsorbents from industrial waste produces large amounts of toxins such as greenhouse gases and it is also costly to produce; thus, it was suggested that adsorbents are produce using biomass, which supports both circular economy and sustainability. The most effective biomass adsorbent is activated carbon; however, it has high production costs than biochar. This study will review on synthesis of biochar, its contribution to circular economy, biochar adsorption mechanisms, heavy metals extraction techniques, and peanut shells as an effective adsorbent to extract heavy metals, namely, chromium, cadmium, lead, zinc, and copper and as a low-cost adsorbent. Furthermore, limitations to using peanut shell-derived biochar are identified. Studies were conducted using peanut shells and it was found that even using peanut shell without pyrolysis is effective to remove heavy metals. In one study, raw peanut shells (non-pyrolyzed) were used to extract lead and the peanut shells' dosages were at 0.5 g, 1.0 g, and 1.5 g and it was found that 74.36%, 74.57%, and 74.05% of lead was extracted, respectively. In other study, the peanut shells were pyrolyzed to produce biochar and used to extract Cr(I II), Cu(II), and Pb(II) and it was found that it extracted 80%, 85%, and 90% of the metal ions, respectively. This shows that biochar adsorbs more heavy metal ions; thus, it is necessary to thermally degrade the biomass before usage. More literature on the usage of peanut shells to extract heavy metals in wastewater are reviewed in this article to further show that peanut shells have potential to be used as an adsorbent.
