Various issues have led to a growing demand for environmentally friendly materials, resulting in the emergence of new fields focusing on natural-based products. Gum polysaccharides, which are commonly derived from microbes or plants, are widely used in different industries among bio-based polymers. Compared to synthetic alternatives, natural gum-based hydrogels offer several advantages. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of using natural gum-based hydrogels as adsorbents for wastewater.
A variety of issues, such as those concerning the environment, economics, sustainability, biocompatibility and biodegradability have prompted an ever-increasing demand for environmentally friendly materials. This has given rise to new fields of study that place a strong emphasis on natural-based products. Among bio-based polymers, gum polysaccharides are one of the most prevalent materials. They often come from microbes or plants as exudates, and they are used in a variety of industries. Compared to their synthetic equivalents, hydrogels based on polysaccharides provide several advantageous characteristics. Natural gum-based hydrogels have the potential to provide ecologically friendly products while also reducing the environmental contamina-tion. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of natural gum-based hydrogels as adsorbents for wastewater
