- Description
- Nanocellulose (NC) polymers derived from plant sources are gaining enormous interest in environmental remediation owing to their low cost and potential for renewable adsorption. Plant-derived nanocellulose is applied in waste water treatment because of its unique features and functionality. The word nanocellulose refers to cellulosic materials having a dimension of nanoscopic scale/or nanoscale. One such nanomaterial is a cellulose-based material with a well-aligned nanocellulose composition indicating its structural hierarchy. Nanocellulose has been recognized as a remarkable natural biomaterial adsorbent which is obtained from renewable sources such as wood, plants, fruit peel, can be found abundantly on earth, and biodegradable and can be easily used in the surface fabrication. Due to its increased surface area, nanocellulose has gained considerable advantage over conventional cellulose fibers. Application of nanocellulosic material in environmental remediation and wastewater treatment has recently emerged as a potential adsorbent generating, and aroused much attention in addressing the environmental issue. Nanocellulose may adsorb a wide range of contaminants, such as heavy metals, dissolved pollutants (organic), dyes, petroleum oil, and unwanted effluents. This review provides focus on the structure, properties, isolation, and adsorbent classes of nanocellulosic materials, as well as their applications in environmental remediation. 2025 by Apple Academic Press, Inc.
