Application of nanocellulose in water treatment and adsorbents: Green and efficient emerging adsorbents With the acceleration of industrialization, the problem of water resource pollution is becoming increasingly serious. Traditional water treatment materials face challenges such as poor sustainability, low selectivity and high treatment costs. In recent years, Nanocellulose (Nanocellulose) has become an important candidate for the new generation of water treatment adsorbent materials due to its renewability, rich surface functional groups, high specific surface area and good mechanical properties. 1. The structure and adsorption potential of nanocellulose Nanocellulose is a material obtained by mechanical, chemical or biological nano-nanoization of natural cellulose. It mainly includes three forms: cellulose nanofiber (CNF), cellulose nanocrystal (CNC), bacterial cellulose (BC), which contains a large amount of hydroxyl groups on the surface, which can further introduce functional groups such as carboxyl groups, sulfonic acid groups, amino groups, and quaternary ammonium salt groups to enhance the use of different pollutants (such as heavy metal ions, organics).
