Functionalized Biopolymer Nanocomposites for the Degradation of Textile Dyes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Functional Polymer Nanocomposites for Wastewater Treatment

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 323))

Abstract

In recent years, wastewater treatment has been an utmost important endeavor adopted by several researchers around the globe. The alarming level of contamination caused by the continuous release of organic pollutants/effluents into water bodies from various industries such as textile, pharmaceutical, chemical, etc., has adverse effects in day-to-day life. The catalytic degradation of these organic pollutants (dyes) is a promising approach in the treatment of wastewater. The nanocomposites comprising biopolymers decorated with metal and metal oxide nanopaticles offer better applications due to their superior activity, ease of preparation, abundance, and ecological friendliness. Numerous nanocomposite catalysts have been prepared using variety of biopolymers (such as starch, cellulose, lignin, alginate, chitosan, silk, gelatin, gums, and resins) in combination with various metals/metal oxides/metal sulphides (such as Pd, Ag, Cu, CuO, and AgO) have been utilized for degradation of organic dye pollutants. These research findings encouraged us to write this chapter. Here, we include the recent developments in synthesizing novel biopolymer nanocomposites for degradation of a catalytic textile dye in wastewater treatment.
