“…Tests with a biosorbent produced from C. ferrea fruits used to remove methylene blue from aqueous media showed rapid kinetics coupled to good adsorption, demonstrating that the fruits can become an excellent lower cost alternative used for the removal of pollutants in wastewater [ 98 ]. Activated coals prepared from pod waste showed a removal percentage of up to 97.67% of the pharmaceutical captopril from aqueous media [ 99 ].…”

Caesalpinia ferrea C. Mart. (Fabaceae) Phytochemistry, Ethnobotany, and Bioactivities: A Review

Caesalpinia ferrea C. Mart., popularly known as “Jucá” or “Pau-ferro”, belongs to the Fabaceae family, and is classified as a native and endemic species in Brazil. Numerous studies that portray its ethnobotany, chemical composition, and biological activities exist in the literature. The present study aimed to systematically review publications addressing the botanical aspects, uses in popular medicine, phytochemical composition, and bioactivities of C. ferrea. The searches focused on publications from 2015 to March 2020 using the Scopus, Periódicos Capes, PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases. The leaves, fruits, seeds, and bark from C. ferrea are used in popular medicine to treat disorders affecting several systems, including the circulatory, immune, cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, and conjunctive systems. The most commonly found chemical classes in phytochemical studies are flavonoids, polyphenols, terpenoids, tannins, saponins, steroids, and other phenolic compounds. The biological properties of the extracts and isolated compounds of C. ferrea most cited in the literature were antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, and healing potential. However, further studies are still needed to clarify a link between its traditional uses, the active compounds, and the reported pharmacological activities, as well as detailed research to determine the toxicological profile of C. ferrea.

“…Agriculture by‐products are rich in carbon content and are recently considered an effective environmental friendliness, low toxicity, biodegradable, abundant, and cost‐effective option for water treatment (Eltaweil et al, 2021; Mishra et al, 2021). Activated carbons (ACs) prepared from biowaste, such as cassava waste, rice husk, banana peel, potato peel, corn cob, maize leaf, microbial biomass, cocoa pod, groundnut husk, sugarcane bagasse, orange peel, oil palm waste, coconut husk, and jute fiber, to mention a few have been investigated for their potential in water treatment (Carvalho et al, 2018; Schwantes et al, 2022; Shar et al, 2016; Wang & Chen, 2014). However, most of these have been chemically modified to enhance their adsorption capacity, which would be undesirable due to increased treatment costs.…”

In this study, activated carbon produced from cassava peel (CP) via carbonization at 400°C was utilized as a biosorbent for the removal of chloride (Cl−) and total hardness (TH) from groundwater. A response surface methodology (RSM) employing a Box–Behnken design (BBD) was implemented to optimize process parameters, including pH (3–10), biosorbent dosage (1–10 g), contact time (10–60 min), initial Cl− concentration (50–2000 mg/L), and initial TH concentration (40–900 mg/L). The biosorbent was applied in a batch reactor setup to evaluate its performance in removing Cl− and TH from groundwater under the optimized conditions. The experimental data showed good agreement with the model predictions, exhibiting R2 of 0.991 and 0.905 for Cl− and TH removal, respectively. The CP biosorbent removed Cl− (245 mg/L) and TH (321 mg/L) by 84% and 90%, respectively, under optimal conditions of 6.9 g CP dose, 19.6 min, and initial pH of 8.1. The sorption kinetics followed a pseudo‐second‐order, and the equilibrium data fit the Freundlich and Langmuir models to Cl− and TH, respectively. The removal of Cl− and TH exhibited maximum adsorption capacities (qm) of 31.25 and 6.57 mg/g for Cl− and TH, respectively. Overall, CP shows potential as an adsorbent for remediating groundwater containing Cl− and TH.

The management of agricultural waste has become very important because the inappropriate disposal yields negative effects on the environment. The resource recovery from agricultural waste which converts waste into available resources can reduce the waste and new resource consumption. This review summarizes the 2018 researches of over three hundred scholar papers from several aspects: agricultural waste, and, waste chemical characterization, agricultural waste material, adsorption, waste energy, composting, waste biogas, agricultural waste management, and others.
