Effect of Humic Substances and Bioorganic Substrates from Urban Wastes in Nanostructured Materials Applications and Synthesis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Soluble Bio-based Substances Isolated From Urban Wastes

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science ((GREENCHEMIST))

Abstract

Humic substances were widely studied for preparing materials to be used for adsorption, photocatalysis and so on. Their parent soluble bio-organic materials (SBO) have potentially similar applications which have to be evaluated. The main advantage of the use of SBO substances concerns their low cost, but they are appealing also for the development of a strategy of recycle and reuse of wastes which needs to be followed worldwide. The application of SBO in materials synthesis is promizing, since they can be used as synthesis intermediates but also as active phases for developing adsorbing and/or photoactive materials usable for environmental applications.
