Cellulose-Based Hydrogels for Wastewater Treatment: A Focus on Metal Ions Removal

mycolabadmin

Heavy metal pollution from industrial activities poses serious health risks including cancer, kidney damage, and neurological problems. This review explores how cellulose-based hydrogels—soft, water-absorbing materials made from natural plant sources—can effectively remove toxic metals from contaminated water. These hydrogels are cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and can be reused multiple times, making them promising alternatives to conventional water treatment methods for industrial and municipal applications.

A new type of calcium-rich biochars derived from spent mushroom substrates and their efficient adsorption properties for cationic dyes

mycolabadmin

Researchers developed a low-cost material called biochar from leftover mushroom growing substrates that can effectively remove harmful dyes from wastewater. By heating these spent mushroom substrates to high temperatures, they created a porous material rich in calcium that works as a powerful filter. This biochar can be used multiple times and doesn’t require expensive chemical treatments, making it practical for large-scale wastewater cleanup in textile and related industries.
