Cationic Nanosorbents Biopolymers: Versatile Materials for Environmental Cleanup

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bio- and Nanosorbents from Natural Resources

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Polymer and Composite Materials ((SSPCM))

Abstract

The present chapter aims to focus on biopolymers-based cationic nanoadsorbents which find numerous applications in removal of toxic metal ions from aqueous solutions. Besides giving an introductory account of the cationic nanosorbents of biopolymers, the chapter discusses various naturally occurring cationic polyelectrolytes like chitosan, cationic cellulose, cation cyclodextrins, and cationic dextran. With the mention of a brief idea of preparation of nanoparticles of these biopolymers, their applications in water remediation have been discussed. The chapter ends with remarks on the current limitations of this field and future prospects and scope for the chemists, environmentalists, and scientists.
