Synergistic bio-adsorption and methane production using plant residues for enhanced heavy metal removal and anaerobic digestion efficiency
Tackling the dual challenge of environmental contamination and renewable energy demands, this study explores the potential of plant residues in wastewater treatment. Watermelon plant residue (WPR), eggplant plant residue (EPR), and their combination (WPR + EPR) were evaluated as eco-friendly bio-adsorbents for heavy metal removal while enhancing anaerobic digestion. The WPR + EPR combination achieved the highest removal efficiencies for Zinc (Zn) (98.37 %), copper (Cu) (92.87 %), lead (Pb) (73.86 %), and iron (Fe) (69.42 %). Individually, WPR was most effective for cobalt (Co) (95.19 %), nickel (Ni) (94.86 %), and manganese (Mn) (94.23 %), while EPR excelled in chromium (Cr) removal (92.41 %). Synergistic effects in the combined treatment resulted in the highest cumulative adsorption capacity (0.18932 mg/g), leveraging complementary functional groups. Adsorption followed chemisorption-dominated pseudo-second-order kinetics, with rapid phases described by the Elovich model and intra-particle diffusion contributing at later stages, particularly for Ni and Mn. Bio-adsorption enhanced anaerobic digestion, with WPR producing the most biogas (288.3 mL) and the highest chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal (53.16 %). Principal Component Analysis identified WPR post-adsorption as the most effective. This study demonstrates the dual advantages of bio-adsorption in wastewater treatment and bioenergy recovery, emphasizing agricultural residues as sustainable and cost-effective solutions.
期刊介绍:
The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice.
PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers.
PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
