Summary:•Agri-food industry wastes were characterized and valorized for heavy metal adsorption from water.•Heavy metal adsorbents were prepared using broccoli stalks, cauliflower cores and coconut shell wastes.•Pyrolysis and carbonization routes with chemical activation were assessed in adsorbent preparation. This study has focused on the valorization of broccoli stalks, cauliflower cores and coconut shell wastes as adsorbents of heavy metals from aqueous solutions.
