Water is a fundamental resource, yet various contaminants increasingly threaten its quality, necessitating effective remediation strategies. Sustainable polymeric adsorbents have emerged as promising materials in adsorption-based water remediation technologies, particularly for the removal of contaminants and deactivation of water-borne pathogens. Pathogenetic water contamination, which involves the presence of harmful bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, poses a significant threat to public health. This review aims to analyze the unique properties of various polymeric materials, including porous aromatic frameworks, biopolymers, and molecularly imprinted polymers, and their effectiveness in water remediation applications. Key findings reveal that these adsorbents demonstrate high surface areas, tunable surface chemistries, and mechanical stability, which enhance their performance in removing contaminants such as heavy metals, organic pollutants, and emerging contaminants from water sources. Furthermore, the review identifies gaps in current research and suggests future directions, including developing multifunctional polymeric materials and integrating adsorption techniques with advanced remediation technologies. This comprehensive analysis aims to contribute to advancing next-generation water purification technologies, ensuring access to clean and safe water for future generations.
水是一种基本资源,但各种污染物日益威胁其质量,因此需要有效的修复策略。可持续的聚合物吸附剂已成为基于吸附的水修复技术中有前景的材料,特别是用于去除污染物和使水传播病原体失活。致病性水污染涉及有害细菌、病毒和其他微生物的存在,对公众健康构成重大威胁。本综述旨在分析各种聚合物材料的独特性质,包括多孔芳香框架、生物聚合物和分子印迹聚合物,以及它们在水修复应用中的有效性。主要发现表明,这些吸附剂具有高表面积、可调节的表面化学性质和机械稳定性,这增强了它们从水源中去除重金属、有机污染物和新兴污染物等污染物的性能。此外,该综述指出了当前研究中的差距并提出了未来的方向,包括开发多功能聚合物材料以及将吸附技术与先进的修复技术相结合。这一全面分析旨在推动下一代水净化技术的发展,确保子孙后代能够获得清洁安全的水。
