New biomaterials for Ni biosorption turned into catalysts for Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling of aryl iodides in green conditions.

ABSTRACT: In parallel with increasing Ni production and utilisation, Ni pollution in the soil-water continuum has become an alarming and global problem. Solutions for removing Ni from industrial effluents have been widely investigated and biosorption has emerged as an efficient, cost-effective, scalable and sustainable alternative for water treatment. However, the biosorption capacity is limited by the chemical composition of the biomaterial and the Ni-enriched biomaterials are rarely valorised. In this work, the biosorption capacity of three abundant biomaterials with different chemical properties - water hyacinth, coffee grounds and pinecones - was studied before and after functionalization, and reached a maximum biosorption capacity of 51 mg g^-1 of Ni(ii).
