Increasing nickel (Ni) demand may spur the need for creative Ni production methods. Agromining (farming for metals) uses plants that can accumulate high concentrations of metal in their biomass, called bio-ore, as a metal extraction strategy. Furthermore, biochar, produced by biomass pyrolysis under low-oxygen conditions, can be used to remove Ni from contaminated wastewaters. In this work we investigate whether biochar synthesized from the Ni-hyperaccumulating plant Odontarrhena chalcidica (synonymous Alyssum murale) can be used as a Ni-adsorbing biochar. We grew O. chalcidica on soils with varying Ni concentration, characterized the plants and resultant biochars synthesized at different pyrolysis temperatures, and analyzed Ni batch adsorption results to determine the adsorption capacity of O. chalcidica biochar. We found that Ni concentration in O. chalcidica increases with increasing soil Ni but reaches an accumulation limit around 23 g Ni kgâ1 dry weight in dried leaf samples. Pyrolysis concentrated Ni in the biochar; higher pyrolysis temperatures led to higher biochar Ni concentrations (max. 87 g Ni kgâ1) and surface areas (max. 103 m2/g). Finally, the O. chalcidica biochar adsorption results were comparable to high-performing Ni adsorbents in the literature. The adsorption process greatly increased the Ni concentration in some biochars, indicating that synthesizing biochar from O. chalcidica biomass and using it as a Ni adsorbent can produce a Ni-enhanced bio-ore with nickel content higher than all nickel-rich veins currently mined.
