| Özet |
| Casein, a sustainable and protein-rich biopolymer derived from milk, has recently exhibited excellent prospects as an efficient building block for the synthesis of eco-friendly materials for water purification. Its abundance of functional groups, intrinsic biocompatibility, and ease of creating composite or hybrid structures render it a potential choice for adsorbents, membranes, and catalytic supports to be employed for the elimination of heavy metals, dyes, drugs, and emerging contaminants. This review critically surveys progress in the design of casein-based materials; chemically modified casein and polymer–casein mixtures to hybrid casein-nanomaterials; and their performance characteristics, regenerability, and environmental impact. Opportunities for innovation, such as newer functionalization strategies, blending with low-cost renewable fillers, and photocatalytic or antimicrobial agent use, are highlighted. Mechanical stability, scalability, and raw casein availability variability issues are discussed alongside environmental and regulatory matters. The review concludes with future directions for valorizing casein in a circular bioeconomy context, aiming to optimize, scale up, and translate laboratory successes into effective water treatment processes. |
