“…The annual production of sugarcane bagasse, a major feedstock resource during the sugarcane refining process (Sarker et al 2017), was estimated to be approximately 2.4 million tons in the Iranian sugarcane industry, Khuzestan province (Mohammadi et al 2020). Previous works have demonstrated that biochar derived from sugarcane bagasse is an important source of organic matter and a valuable amendment to ameliorate the chemical, physical and biological fertility of soils with low organic matter content (Azeem et al 2019;Bento et al 2019;Zafar-ul-Hye et al 2020;Rahman et al 2021).…”

“…Previous works have demonstrated that biochar derived from sugarcane bagasse is an important source of organic matter and a valuable amendment to ameliorate the chemical, physical and biological fertility of soils with low organic matter content (Azeem et al 2019;Bento et al 2019;Zafar-ul-Hye et al 2020;Rahman et al 2021). Sugarcane bagasse biochar is characterized by high specific surface area, abundant micropores and high surface functional groups (Moradi-Choghamarani et al 2019), which can sorb and immobilize heavy metal ions (Ding et al 2014;Sarker et al 2017;Bashir et al 2018;Zahedifar and Moosavi 2020). Several studies have suggested that sugarcane bagasse-derived biochar could be used as a potential sorbent for metal removal and immobilization to remediate metal-contaminated soils, and to decrease metal toxicity to the soil microbial community (Bashir et al 2018;Nie et al 2018) and plants (Mohamed et al 2019).…”

Soil amendment with biochar alleviates the toxic effects of heavy metals on microbial functions in single-metal contaminated soils. Yet, it is unclear how biochar application would improve microbial activity and enzymatic activity in soils co-polluted with toxic metals. The present research aimed at determining the response of microbial and biochemical attributes to addition of sugarcane bagasse biochar (SCB) in cadmium (Cd)-lead (Pb) co-contaminated soils. SCBs (400 and 600 °C) decreased the available concentrations of Cd and Pb, increased organic carbon (OC) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) contents in soil. The decrease of metal availability was greater with 600 °C SCB than with 400 °C SCB, and metal immobilization was greater for Cd (16%) than for Pb (12%) in co-spiked soils amended with low-temperature SCB. Biochar application improved microbial activity and biomass, and enzymatic activity in the soils co-spiked with metals, but these positive impacts of SCB were less pronounced in the co-spiked soils than in the single-spiked soils. SCB decreased the adverse impacts of heavy metals on soil properties largely through the enhanced labile C for microbial assimilation and partly through the immobilization of metals. Redundancy analysis further confirmed that soil OC was overwhelmingly the dominant driver of changes in the properties and quality of contaminated soils amended with SCB. The promotion of soil microbial quality by the low-temperature SCB was greater than by high-temperature SCB, due to its higher labile C fraction. Our findings showed that SCB at lower temperatures could be applied to metal co-polluted soils to mitigate the combined effects of metal stresses on microbial and biochemical functions.

“…Lignocellulose is a composite substrate that is composed of a mixture of carbohydrate polymers (cellulose and hemicellulose) and lignin (Andriani and Tachibana, 2016). Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) (Sarker et al, 2017) is one of the lignocellulosic agricultural trashes that is available in plenty (Kuo and Lee, 2009). It contains 46.0 per cent cellulose, 24.5 per cent hemicellulose, 19.95 per cent lignin fat, 3.5 per cent waxes, 2.4 per cent ash, 2.0 per cent silica and 1.7 per cent other elements (Fabon et al, 2013).…”

Purpose This paper aims to improve the adsorption capacity of sugarcane bagasse (SCB) as a low-cost, attractive and effective adsorbent for dye removal from wastewater. Design/methodology/approach SCB is a cellulosic material; it was chemically modified with compounds containing cationic groups. The adsorption efficiency of unmodified and modified SCB was investigated with anionic dyes by studying various factors that affect modified SCB and adsorption. Findings X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectra and nitrogen content were used to confirm the effect of existence of quaternary ammonium groups on modified SCB. The morphological structure of the modified and unmodified SCB has been demonstrated using electronic scanning microscopy. Research limitations/implications The modified SCB was chemically treated by Quat 188, which is commercially available in the solution of 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride. Practical implications Grafting cationic function groups on the surface of sugarcane by cationization treatment enhances its adsorption efficiency for anionic dyes. Originality/value The main value of this research was indicating a clear difference in the appearance of unmodified and modified SCB surfaces. Furthermore, it can be determined that the modified SCB absorbs more of the dyes.

“…Biopolymers from agricultural residues, such as sugarcane bagasse, rice straws, corncobs, and wheat straws, have the prominent advantages of being used as biosorbent materials owing to their low cost, good processibility, and high capacity. In particular, sugarcane bagasse is heavily produced and has a high proportion of cellulose [38]. Grafting with an amino-terminated HBP will be an effective way to improve the adsorption performance of sugarcane bagasse cellulose.…”

Bagasse Cellulose Grafted with an Amino-Terminated Hyperbranched Polymer for the Removal of Cr(VI) from Aqueous Solution

A novel bio-adsorbent was fabricated via grafting an amino-terminated hyperbranched polymer (HBP-NH2) onto bagasse cellulose. The morphology and microstructure of the HBP-NH2-grafted bagasse cellulose (HBP-g-BC) were characterized and its adsorption capacity for Cr(VI) ions in aqueous solutions was investigated. The rough surface structure of HBP-g-BC that is beneficial for improving the adsorption capacity was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The grafting reaction was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The adsorbent performance was shown to be better with a lower pH value, a higher adsorbent dosage, or a higher initial Cr(VI) concentration. Moreover, the kinetics study revealed that the adsorption behavior followed a pseudo-second-order model. The isotherm results showed that the adsorption data could be well-fitted by the Langmuir, Freundlich, or Temkin models. Moreover, HBP-g-BC could maintain 74.4% of the initial removal rate even after five cycles of regeneration. Thus, the high potential of HBP-g-BC as a bio-adsorbent for heavy metal removal has been demonstrated.
