Nanobiosorbents: Basic principles, synthesis, and application for contaminants removal

The steady liberation of contaminations in different forms straight into the environment has boosted pollution all over the world. To counteract the issues of environmental contamination, an eco-friendly route has been approached. This route makes use of the nanobiosorbents for the efficient removal of contaminants from wastewater bodies. The removal of contaminants through biosorption harnessing the properties of nanotechnology in the form of nanobiosorbents has offered many interests. The nanobiosorbents are economical, renewable, sustainable, greener, and eco-friendly materials exploited for their unique properties in the removal of contaminants. The presented chapter gives an overview of the basic principles of the nanobiosorbents and their synthetic pathways.
