Climate change, environmental pollution and lack of energy are the main problems of modern society.
Every year from agriculture generates about 140 billion tons of biomass. Widely available, renewable, and virtually free, waste biomass is an important resource because it can be used as an energy source and material with special characteristics such as biosorbent organic and inorganic pollutants, soil improver, fertilizer, paper manufacturing, textiles, etc. If this biomass converted to energy can substantially displace fossil fuel, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and provide renewable energy to developing countries. Decomposition of the waste mass in the fields emits methane, and its burning generated CO2 and other pollutants.
Under the influence of climate change floods and droughts are more frequent, which lead to pollution of ground water, soil and air pollution by heavy metals. The disadvantages of conventional methods for removing metal ions from polluted water are low se...lectivity, generating large amounts of sludge, high operating costs. For some time, biosorption has been claimed as a promising biotechnology for pollutant removal and/or recovery from solution by applying biosorbents.
Waste biomass can be converted into useful materials, increasing the profit of the treatment, reduction of atmospheric pollutants, and increased utilization of plant material. This paper discusses about the development in the use of waste biomass for energy and as biosorbent for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater, with emphasis preventing the adverse effects of climate change. Improper management of biomass contributes to climate change, water, soil and local air pollution.
