Natural Polymers-based Green Adsorbents for Water Treatment focuses on the recent development of novel polymeric adsorbents that are green and eco-friendly or biodegradable in nature. The book reviews the synthesis, properties and adsorption applications of natural and green polymer-based adsorbents. It discusses remediation technologies developed to remove environmental pollutants, the usage of natural polymer-based cost-effective and green novel adsorbent materials for the removal of organic and inorganic contaminants, and the efficiency of functionalized polymers, nanosorbents, hydrogels, composites, graft copolymers in the sorption of various pollutants from the environment as well as from the industrial effluents. Comprehensive, step-by-step review of processing & modification of biopolymers and its applications in environmental remediationChapters written by world-wide experts from academiaContains many illustrations, tables, figures, graphs, bibliographies and extensive referencesWritten especially for early-career scientists to help them achieve their future research goals INDICE: 1.
