Modified (green) biopolymer Chelates for Industrial Waste Treatment: A step towards environmental sustainability

Green (Polymer/ Nano) Chemistry

Numerous investigations are conducted to examine the effects of industrial effluents on the environment as industrial processes produce a lot of hazardous waste, which is often incorporated into the ecosystem. There is an urgent need to raise awareness of the necessity to treat different effluents effectively before releasing them into any public water body. The myriad dangerous contaminants contained in wastewater from diverse industrial sectors pose a threat to human health, marine life, and agriculture. The treatment of industrial waste is a crucial environmental issue, and there is ongoing research into practical and sustainable solutions. This study investigates the creation and use of modified (green) biopolymers as a potentially effective method for treating wastewater. The green biopolymers can be assessed as "greener" alternatives to harmful chemicals and the products that may result from their degradation. Natural sources of biopolymers provide environmentally safe substitutes for traditional chemical treatments. These biopolymers may be modified in a variety of ways to display improved adsorption capabilities, which makes them useful instruments for eliminating pollutants from wastewater. This research highlights the potential of modified biopolymers to help create a healthier and more sustainable environment by providing an overview of their synthesis processes and useful applications in industrial waste treatment.
