“…The activated carbon prepared from Reynoutria japonica invasive herb was reported for the xenobiotics (diclofenac and paracetamol) sorption from water (Fig. 7) (Koutník et al, 2020). The activated carbons were synthesized by microwave treatment using sodium methanolate (MeNa), NaOH, and H 3 PO 4 chemicals.…”

“…Rego et al [10] obtained a removal efficiency of 99.9% for diclofenac sodium using Ce-UiO-66 metal organic framework (MOF) up to a 100-ppm concentration and after 20 min contact between the water solution and the adsorbent. Koutník et al [124] prepared activated carbons (AC) from the invasive herb Reynoutria japonica and used them to adsorb diclofenac from aqueous solutions at 300 mg/L of pharmaceutical. An amount of 2 g/L of solid determined a removal efficiency of 58%.…”

Water Purification of Classical and Emerging Organic Pollutants: An Extensive Review

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The main techniques used for organic pollutant removal from water are adsorption, reductive and oxidative processes, phytoremediation, bioremediation, separation by membranes and liquid–liquid extraction. In this review, strengths and weaknesses of the different purification techniques are discussed, with particular attention to the newest results published in the scientific literature. This study highlighted that adsorption is the most frequently used method for water purification, since it can balance high organic pollutants removal efficiency, it has the possibility to treat a large quantity of water in semi-continuous way and has acceptable costs.

“…japonica is also known for its numerous ecosystem services. The aerial or underground parts of F. japonica show insecticidal [17] and fungicidal potential [18], and have been successfully used in the production of medicine [19], biofuel [20], briquettes for heating [21], paper cellulose fibers [22], textile [23], and as carbon (C) adsorbent [24]. In some of these production processes, the aerial parts of the plant went unused and were disposed of in landfills, although these parts weigh more than half the total mass of the plants [12,19].…”

Invasive Plants in Support of Urban Farming: Fermentation-Based Organic Fertilizer from Japanese Knotweed

et al. 2021

In this study, fermentation-based organic fertilizer (OF) was produced from the aboveground parts of Fallopia japonica (Houtt.) Ronse Decr. The quantity of N in OF (17.2 kg t−1 fresh lactic-fermented OF) was higher than average in cattle farmyard manure, but on a comparable level to solid poultry and rabbit manure. The OF was applied on a field to evaluate its effect on Chinese cabbage. The applied nutrients with OF N159 were 159, 44 and 121 kg ha−1 for N, P, and K, respectively. The applied nutrients with OF N317 were 317, 38, and 200 kg ha−1 for N, P, and K, respectively. The average mass of marketable Chinese cabbage (Brassica pekinensis Rupr.) single heads ranged from 253 g with N0 treatment to 602 g with N317 treatment. The nutrient recovery efficiency REN,P,K was 37, 20, and 50% for N317 and 55, 48, and 77% for N159. The OF was found to be a suitable alternative to farmyard manure. Additionally, OF produced from F. japonica could complement existing approaches to limit the spread of invasive species in cities. Further research should focus on perennial crop rotations and cropping patterns, different soil types, and a greater variety of crops and consider the possible retention of urban farmers using fertilizer from invasive plants.
