Sorption applications can be tailored toward specific metals with capability for recovery, regeneration, and reuse, contributing to cost-effectiveness and providing a more environmentally benign alternative to chemical dosing.
“They can be further tailored toward specific metals with the capability for recovery, regeneration, and reuse, which can contribute to cost-effectiveness and provide a more environmentally benign alternative to chemical dosing [127-131].”

The abstract (p. 1) describes agricultural-waste adsorbents as promising for heavy-metal removal and says the review covers biosorbent regeneration and desorption. It does not establish that sorption can be tailored to specific metals, that metals and adsorbents can be recovered and reused cost-effectively, or that it is environmentally preferable to chemical dosing. The abstract also says economic evaluations are missing. (LLM, conf=0.79)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSorption applications that rely on water contact are straightforward to implement and can remove a diverse array of heavy metals, even at trace concentrations.
“Sorption applications that rely on water contact are straightforward is to implement and can be applied toward the removal of a diverse array of heavy metals, even at trace concentrations [126][127][128][129][130].”

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.
