Abstract
The present world is confronted with perils of freshwater resources and hence contamination of water bodies in specific has raised genuine concerns. The possible application of biopolymers and its composites for removal of hazardous dyes has been widely investigated in recent studies. Polymers derived from biological sources, such as polysaccharides, lignin, alginate, and bacterial polymers, are the major polymeric materials adopted for water purification systems. Driven by the potential applications of such biopolymers for wastewater remediation, researchers take a great deal of interest in develo** biomaterials that can perform specific functions in response to a given set of environmental conditions and parameters. One way to design such materials is to create composite functional structures, which can adsorb or bind with a specific type of contaminant present in water bodies. Composites are highly advantageous for adsorption applications as they possess desired properties of both parent materials and hence limitations of individual components can be overcome. In this vein, nano-sized bio-composites can present superior adsorption capacities in comparison with their micro-sized counterparts. This chapter focuses on the principles of designing and preparation of bio nanocomposites particularly from polysaccharides, which offer advanced applications in highly functionalized and molecule specific adsorption and super adsorption of hazardous dyes. Such emerging technologies and recent advancements in the application of polysaccharides as composite nanostructures, for water purification, have been thoroughly discussed. Along with recent advancements, the chapter also outlines the developmental history, current status, future prospects, and significance of exploring and utilizing biopolymer nanocomposites in this domain.
