Abstract:
Water pollution caused by industrial effluents endangers the Earth's environment and human health. Biomass is a renewable resource that has been proven by many published studies to have the ability to adsorb many substances from liquid waste. It is a source whose accessibility is easy, its processing is not always necessary, the greenhouse emissions created during its use are minimal. Multi-criteria analysis is a decision-making tool that can evaluate many different criteria with the corresponding weight of each criterion to find the best alternative solution for the given problem. Our materials are mainly sawdust and straw which have undergone a wide range of treatments. Our key criteria to highlight which treatment is optimal are adsorption capacity and adsorption rate, processing cost, environmental impact and scale up. The purpose of this study was to identify the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly method of lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment to optimize the adsorbent production process in terms of environmental, technical, and economic aspects. According the multicriteria analysis, brine pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass such as spruce sawdust was found to be the most advantageous solution for adsorption material production.
