Özet
Water contamination with heavy metals and dyes is a global health and environmental concern that necessitates the establishment of green and effective technology. Among others, adsorption has emerged as superior since it is convenient, inexpensive, and highly effective. The present review offers novel adsorbent materials from κ-carrageenan for the removal of heavy metals and dyes from wastewater. When mixed with inorganic nanoparticles, κ-carrageenan, a biodegradable red-seaweed polysaccharide, exhibits improved adsorption capacity, mechanical strength, and chemical stability. It possesses a high level of functional groups as well as inherent gelation. We highlight advances in field-use readiness and regenerability while critically evaluating synthesis pathways, structural characteristics, and adsorption behaviors, with emphasis on ion exchange, electrostatic forces of attraction, and complexation mechanisms. Yet, even with such desirable characteristics, operability remains limited by a lack of pilot- or field-scale experiments on actual industrial effluents, quantitative deconvolution of removal mechanisms, regeneration efficiency, and stability in the long term over a range of pH, ionic strength, and mixed-pollutant streams, and variable testing procedures that make cross-study comparisons difficult. Standardized processes, strong mechanistic and economic analyses, and field trials must be used to fill these critical gaps and translate laboratory success to functional, scale-up wastewater treatment processes.
