Potential of Punica granatum biochar to adsorb Cu(II) in soil
Open accessAbstract
Biochar as a promising adsorbent to remove heavy metals has attracted much attention globally. One of the potential adsorbents is biochar derived from punica granatum peels, a growing but often wasted resource in tropical countries. However, the immobilization capacity of punica granatum peel biochar is not known. This study investigated the physicochemical properties of punica granatum peel boichars pyrolyzed at 300 °C and 600 °C (referred as BC300 and BC600), and the efficiency and mechanisms of Cu(II) adsorption of five types of material treatments: BC300, BC600, soil only, and soils with biochar amendment BC300 and BC600, respectively, at the rate of 1% of the soil by weight. The results show that BC300 had higher yield, volatile matter content and organic carbon content, and larger pore diameter, but less ash content, surface area, pH, and cation exchange capacity than BC600. The Cu(II) adsorption capacity onto biochars and soils with biochar were greatly influenced by initial ion concentration and contact time. The Cu(II) adsorption capacity of biochar, independent of pyrolysis temperature, was around 52 mg g−1. The adsorption capacity of the soil amended with biochar nearly doubled (29.85 mg g−1) compared to that of the original soil (14.99 mg g−1), indicating superb synergetic adsorption capacity of the biochar-amended soils. The adsorption isotherms showed monolayer adsorption of Cu(II) on biochar, and co-existence of monolayer and multilayer adsorption in soils with or without biochar amendment. Results also suggest that the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic, and the rate-limiting phase of the sorption process is primarily chemical. This study demonstrates punica granatum peel biochar has a great potential as an adsorbent for Cu(II) removal in soil.

From Tangerine, banana and pomegranate peels valorisation for sustainable environment: A review (2021) · cites this paper as [17]
The Experimental design section describes adding pomegranate-peel biochar to soil, and Chemical characterization reports changes in the amended soil’s properties. This supports the possibility of using that biochar as a soil amendment, but the paper does not establish the same use for TPW or BPW, or for unprocessed PPW. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
