Chapter 13
Anionic Pollutant Removal by Biomass-Based Adsorbents
Publication: Green Technologies for Sustainable Water Management
Abstract
This chapter presents the applications of biomass-based adsorbents for anionic pollutants removal. These renewable biomasses are used as starting materials for various biosorbents production. There is a wide variety of commercial adsorbents developed with high selectivity for various anionic pollutants. However, the high cost of commercial adsorbent and its loss during the regeneration process restrict its application. Commercial activated carbons and commercial resins are the main forms of commercial adsorbents applied for anion removal. Some adsorbents prepared from nature waste materials are widely used for the removal of anions from water/wastewaters, especially from biomass waste materials. Quaternary ammonium, amine, and amino groups are known as the most efficient functional groups for anionic pollutants removal. Natural polymers or biopolymers are biodegradable. Adsorbent recycling is necessary for cost-efficient use of these biopolymers for environmental applications.
