A Study on the Application of Chitosan-based Composite in the Remediation of Water Pollution

Ajay Singh, Aarti Bhatt

Abstract


Several uses for membrane separation have been developed including microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and nanofiltration processes in the fields of biomedicine, food, and water purification. Removing agro-industrial waste is a major problem in developing nations. One polysaccharide polymer is cellulose. In this review, the history, structure, global production, and extraction of cellulose from various trees are examined. Chitosan, a biopolymer that resembles cellulose chemically, is a naturally occurring fiber that is obtained from chitin. The growing interest in using it as a natural polymer stems from its non-toxic, renewable, and biocompatible properties. This review covers the manufacture, uses, and latest developments in chitosan and cellulose composite materials.
