Investigating the adsorption processes of polymer resins for the removal of micropollutants: A comprehensive review in the field of environmental remediation.

The growing worry for human health stems from the fact that micropollutants (MPs), particularly dyes, are more common in aquatic settings. These particles pose a serious risk to both humans and animals since they have been found in a variety of bodily fluids and waste products from both humans and animals. MPs pose significant dangers to human health and other living things due to their extended half-lives, high fragmentation propensity, and capacity to absorb organic pollutants as well (MB, MR, MO and CV dyes) and heavy metals as well (Pb(II), Cd(II) Co(II) Cr(III) and Ag(I) ….). They also contribute to the degradation of terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Sustainable and effective methods for removing MPs from wastewater and treating organic micropollutants in an environmentally friendly manner are being developed in order to address this problem. This work offers a thorough review of adsorption technology as a productive and environmentally friendly means of eliminating MPs from aqueous environments, with an emphasis on developments in the application of polymeric resin in MP removal. The review examines the adsorption process and the variables that affect adsorption efficiency, including the characteristics of the micropollutant, the resin, and the solution. To improve understanding, a number of adsorption mechanisms and models are explored. The study also addresses the difficulties and future possibilities of adsorption technology, emphasising the need to optimize resin characteristics, create sustainable and affordable regeneration techniques, and take into account the environmental effects of adsorbent materials.
