Facilitative removal of pollutants from wastewater employing biomass originated nanomaterials with tunable characteristics

Abstract

Owing to the abundant existence of biomass in the environment, the present work encourages the utilization of biomass derived renewable materials so as to produce environment friendly materials to be used in the field of environment indemnification. Overall the whole work is an attempt to probe proficient, inexpensive and eco-friendly nano dimensional materials that could be competently used as adsorbents as well as sensors with the added benefit of simplistic recovery for real wastewater treatment plants. The work encompasses the extraction of cellulose nanofibers from distinct biomass sources and the formation of their nanocomposites with distinct matrices for alleviation as well as monitoring of water toxicants. newline
