Resumo
Adsorventes à base de biomassa tornaram-se objeto de pesquisa científica para o tratamento de águas residuais químicas em todo o mundo, devido à sua capacidade de remover contaminantes como metais pesados e corantes. Sistemas de tratamento em escala piloto que utilizam esses materiais de biomassa demonstraram viabilidade, impulsionada pelos baixos custos, pela facilidade de instalação e — acima de tudo — pela elevada capacidade de adsorção de metais pesados. Fontes de biomassa, como a *E. crassipes*, têm sido secas e moídas para preparar o material celulósico para uso em sistemas de tratamento com colunas de leito fixo. Este artigo de revisão visa examinar a fundo diversos tipos de biomassa e determinar os custos unitários de desenvolvimento do material em relação às capacidades de adsorção. O estudo conclui que diferentes materiais de biomassa são adequados a diferentes efluentes, com base em suas cargas de poluentes, estabelecendo-os como um excelente recurso para o tratamento de águas residuais industriais, particularmente para a remoção de metais pesados.
