Sustainable Starch Strategies: Nano and Macro Adsorbents for the Detoxification of Synthetic Dyes and Heavy Metals

Abstract

The research being conducted explores environmentally friendly techniques for heavy metal and synthetic dye detoxification from aquariums via nano- and macro adsorbents based on starch. In exposure to the urgent demands for sustainable wastewater treatment solutions, the research effort focuses on the development and evaluation of materials made from starch that have enhanced adsorption abilities. The effectiveness of developing and evaluating macro- and nano-sized starch composites and starch-based adsorbents in facilitating the elimination of heavy metals and synthetic colours is determined. The review includes a thorough examination of equilibrium traits kinetics, and adsorption processes, also takes into account how these sustainable starch-based products could be employed in real-world environmental remediation scenarios. The aforementioned findings offer significant additional knowledge regarding how to develop and implement starch-based adsorbents for the long-term and effective detoxification of heavy metals and synthetic colours compared to water.
