Heavy metals, known for their toxic nature and ability to accumulate and magnify in the food chain, are a major environmental concern. The use of environmentally friendly adsorbents, such as chitosan (CS)-a biodegradable cationic polysaccharide, has gained attention for removing heavy metals from water. This review discusses the physicochemical properties of CS and its composites and nanocomposites and their potential application in wastewater treatment.
重金属因其毒性以及在食物链中积累和放大的能力而闻名,是一个主要的环境问题。使用环保吸附剂,如壳聚糖(CS)——一种可生物降解的阳离子多糖,已受到关注,用于从水中去除重金属。本文综述了壳聚糖及其复合材料和纳米复合材料的物理化学性质及其在废水处理中的潜在应用。
