Cellulose based membranes, hydrogels and aerogels for water treatment application

Water scarcity and pollution are significant challenges worldwide, emphasizing the necessity for developing efficient and sustainable solutions for removing contaminants from water. Using cellulose-based materials like membranes, hydrogels, and aerogels for water treatment applications has gained significant interest in recent years. These materials offer several advantages including high biodegradability, hydrophilicity, non-toxicity and low energy requirement. Owing to cellulose's innate hydrophilicity, these materials readily interact with water molecules, rendering them exceptionally suitable for diverse water treatment applications. Cellulose-based materials demonstrate significant efficacy in eliminating…
