| Abstract |
Potato peel (PP) waste are generated in huge quantities, causing environmental pollution and health problems. Therefore, obtaining value-added products from PP is a current research challenge. In this work, novel Cabiocomposites for phosphorus (P) removal were prepared by pyrolysis (500-800 degrees C) using eggshell (ES) and PP (ES/PP = 1:2 ratio by weight). ESPP-700 (pyrolyzed at 700 degrees C), reached a Q(max) of 174.8 mg P/g, while the application of Ca-biocomposites in domestic wastewater showed 85.96% of P removal. According to the pseudo second-order kinetic model, P adsorption was dominated by chemisorption, follows by apatite precipitation. The P solubility (62.5 wt.%) in formic acid (2.0 wt.%) and the water-soluble P (3.2 wt.%) for ESPP-700 after P adsorption, indicated that the final product would work as fertilizer for acidic soils. This is an important step in the management of agricultural wastes to implement the 3R slogan "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" towards a circular economy. |
