Abstract
Cassava, being an essential food because it provides an essential source of carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins, is one of the world's most cultivated tubers. However, a large amount of waste obtained from the industrial processing of cassava generates a significant impact on the environment that affects people's health and quality of life. The use of agro-industrial waste is one of the best alternatives to mitigate environmental pollution because poor disposal of waste in sanitary landfills, wastewater discharges into water bodies and soils cause significant pollution and is a global concern. In this review, information was collected from studies carried out on the use of residues from cassava starch processing in rallanderias around the world, such as peel, bagasse, and industrial effluents; that, due to their physicochemical and functional characteristics, generate a great application as sorbents in the removal of metals in wastewater, as well as biodegradable products with added value in the industry.
