Isaac Bravo,Freddy Figueroa,Maria I. Swasy,Mohamed F. Attia,Mohamed Ateia,Domenica Encalada,Karla Vizuete,Salome Galeas,Victor H. Guerrero,Alexis Debut,Daniel C. Whitehead,Frank Alexis +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the physicochemical properties of unmodified cellulose particles extracted from biodiverse sources in Ecuador as potential VOC decontaminants, and demonstrated that these particles can be an environmentally friendly solution for effective adsorption of VOC pollutants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulose for the effective decontamination of water pollution
TL;DR: The present review describes the different biopolymers useful for remediation of environmental pollution, explores in more detail the characteristics of cellulose and its promising applications in the decontamination of water pollution, and pays special attention to the removal of heavy metal ions, dyes, and hydrophobic organic compounds.
