“…In particular, they are great sources for producing energies such as bio-oils, biodiesels, and biogases (Van Meerbeek et al 2015). In terms of generating materials, this biomass could be converted into biochars (Feng et al 2021), activated carbons (Bouhamidi et al 2017;Al-Musawi et al 2021), nanoparticles (Durairaj et al 2019;Davarnejad et al 2020), composites (Wang et al 2020a;Ren et al 2021a), and aerogels (Yang et al 2018;Cui et al 2021). The use of waste biomass from invasive species as adsorbent materials for the removal of pollutants from aqueous streams could decrease their threat, in harmony with the circular economy.…”

“…Recently, Feng et al (2021) have summarized the potential of exotic plants for biochar productions and their added value. Several other adsorbents for pollutants removal from invasive species were well reported such as activated carbons (Bouhamidi et al 2017;Al-Musawi et al 2021), nanoparticles (Durairaj et al 2019;Davarnejad et al 2020), composites (Wang et al 2020a;Ren et al 2021a), and aerogels (Yang et al 2018;Cui et al 2021). Although these materials are quite efficient, they necessitate so further preparations, chemicals, time, and energy that they are relatively not suitable for large-scale applications.…”

Invasive plants as biosorbents for environmental remediation: a review

et al. 2022

Water contamination is an environmental burden for the next generations, calling for advanced methods such as adsorption to remove pollutants. For instance, unwanted biowaste and invasive plants can be converted into biosorbents for environmental remediation. This would partly solve the negative effects of invasive plants, estimated at 120 billion dollars in the USA.Here we review the distribution, impact, and use of invasive plants for water treatment, with emphasis on the preparation of biosorbents and removal of pollutants such as cadmium, lead, copper, zinc, nickel, mercury, chromate, synthetic dyes, and fossil fuels. Those biosorbents can remove 90-99% heavy metals from aqueous solutions. High adsorption capacities of 476.190 mg/g for synthetic dyes and 211 g/g for diesel oils have been observed. We also discuss the regeneration of these biosorbents.

“…There is no strong physical or chemical bonding between the polymer and the plasticizers. The PAEs can readily be lost during the manufacture, use, and disposal of the plastics [6]. This results in pollution of soils, air, and waters [7,8,9,10,11].…”

The contamination status and the potential carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks from six phthalate esters (PAEs), nominated as priority pollutants by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), were investigated in 40 typical greenhouses in three large-scale intensive greenhouse production areas in Jingmen city, Hubei province, central China. The total concentrations of PAEs in 40 soil samples and 80 vegetable samples ranged from 919 ± 134 to 7015 ± 475 µg kg−1 (dry weight, DW), and from 387 ± 63, to 11,683 ± 1313 µg kg−1 (DW), respectively. No carcinogenic risk was detected. The heat-map of the hazard quotient (HQ) values indicates the non-carcinogenic risks to children from di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), at two sampling sites out of the 40, and from diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) (20 to young children and three to older children and adults) at 23 of the sites. The contamination risk from PAEs at Pengdun is of concern because only two of the 14 sampling sites selected there showed the non-carcinogenic risk to humans was unclear. The results of this study help to close a long-term knowledge gap resulting from a shortage of experimental data on PAE contamination in intensive greenhouse vegetable production in central China. The inclusion of DEHP in the Chinese list of priority pollutants is recommended, due to its increasing contamination and risk. This study provides valuable information for protected agricultural soil management and risk avoidance. It is a timely reminder to take PAE contamination and associated health risks into consideration, during the planning and introduction of intensively-managed greenhouse production systems.
