ABSTRACTCatalytic carbon nanocomposites (CCNs) have emerged as highly effective multifunctional materials for environmental remediation, owing to their superior physicochemical properties and tunable surface reactivity. This review highlights the major synthesis strategies used to develop CCNs, including in‐situ polymerization, sol–gel, and green fabrication approaches, with a focus on sustainability and scalability. The unique structural and electronic properties of these nanocomposites—such as enhanced surface area, conductivity, and light absorption—enable advanced catalytic processes including photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and biocatalysis. Section 4 presents an in‐depth discussion of these mechanisms, supported by recent literature. The performance of representative CCNs in degrading organic dyes, heavy metals, and pharmaceutical contaminants is analyzed and compared. Real‐world and pilot‐scale applications are also reviewed, highlighting recent advances in continuous‐flow and solar‐driven systems. Despite these achievements, limitations persist in the form of nanoparticle leaching, environmental persistence, and reduced performance under complex matrices. These challenges are addressed in Section 5. Overall, CCNs represent a promising platform for sustainable environmental treatment technologies, but further research into long‐term safety, lifecycle impacts, and regulatory pathways is essential for full‐scale implementation.

Abstract Depletion of potable water availability is threatening the whole biota, owing to the presence of anthropogenic compounds and hazardous chemicals above the permissible levels. Although many conventional methods exist, the development of innovative technologies is critical for wastewater treatment and recycling. Carbon composites have recently seen widespread use across a variety of industries due to their distinctive and superior properties. These carbon composites are easily integrated into many stages of the treatment process, making them efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. This chapter discusses the importance and effectiveness of carbon-based composite materials in removing toxic dyes and heavy metal contaminants from the environment. Carbon composites are classified according to their sources, preparation methods, and applications. This chapter also discusses various research perspectives on carbon composites, particularly from an environmental and financial standpoint.

Abstract Water sources are becoming highly unsuited as potable sources due to the presence of impurities and hazardous chemicals. Although there are many conventional methods available, the development of innovative technologies is essential for the treating and recycling of wastewater. Owing to their unique and excellent qualities, polymers have recently seen extensive use across various industries. By joining the monomeric components covalently, biopolymers resemble a more natural alternative to synthetic polymers. The biopolymer and biopolymer composites integrate into many sections of the treatment process easily, making them effective, affordable, and environmentally beneficial. Due to their distinct features, biopolymers can replace traditional adsorbents. The biopolymers and composites discussed in this chapter are ideal adsorbent materials for eliminating contaminants from the environment. Based on their sources, methods of preparation, and uses, biopolymers, and their composites are categorized. This chapter also includes different research perspectives on biopolymers, especially from an ecological and financial standpoint.

Abstract Domestic, agriculture, and industrial activities contaminate the waterbodies by releasing toxic substances and pathogens. Removal of pollutants from wastewater is critical to ensuring the quality of accessible water resources. Several wastewater treatments are often used. Researchers are increasingly focusing on adsorption, ion exchange, electrostatic interactions, biodegradation, flocculation, and membrane filtration for the efficient reduction of pollutants. Biopolymers are a combination of two or more products produced by the living organisms used to give the desired finished product with a unique attribute. Biomaterials are also similar to traditional polymers by having higher flexibility, biodegradability, low toxicity, and nontoxic secondary byproducts producing ability. Grafting, functionalization, and crosslinking will be used to enhance the characteristics of biopolymers. The present chapter will illustrate some of the important biopolymers and its compos that will impact wastewater treatment in the future. Most commonly used biopolymers including chitosan (CS), activated carbon (AC), carbon-nanotubes (CNTs), and graphene oxide (GO) are discussed. Finally, the opportunities and difficulties for applying adsorbents to water pollution treatment are discussed.

The ever‐rising environmental problems because of heavy metals emerging from anthropogenic activities pose an impending threat to all biota globally. Considering their persistence and possibility in biomagnification, they are prominent among pollutants. There has been an apparent shift of research interest in advancing cost‐effective and competent technologies to mitigate environmental contaminants, specifically heavy metals. In the recent two decades, tailored nanomaterials (NMs), nanoparticles, and NM‐based adsorbents have been emerging for removing heavy metal pollution on a sustainable scale, especially the green synthesis of these nanoproducts effective and nonhazardous means. Hence, this review explores the various avenues in nanotechnology, an attempt to gauge nanotechnological approaches to mitigate heavy metals in the aqueous system, especially emphasizing the recent trends and advancements. Inputs on remediating heavy metal in sustainable and environmentally benign aspects recommended future directions to compensate for the voids in this domain have been addressed.

Microalgae have been publicized for their diversified dominance responsiveness and bioaccumulation potential toward pollutants in an ecosystem. Also, algal's incredible capability as biocatalysts in environmental appliances has been well elucidated owing to their robustness and simple nutritional demand. Additionally, microalgae can deliver various collections of bio‐based chemical compounds helpful for diversified applications, especially as green alternatives. The environment has been contaminated with various polluting agents; one principal polluting agent is heavy metals which are carcinogenic and show toxicity even in minimal quantity, cause unsatisfactory threats to the environmental ecosystem, including human and animal health. There is a prominent tendency to apply microalgae in the phytoremediation of heavy metals compounds because of its vast benefits, including great accessibility, cost‐effective, excellent toxic metal eliminating efficiency, and nontoxic to the ecosystem. This review uncovers the most recent advancements and mechanisms associated with the bioremediation process and biosorption interaction of substantial harmful synthetic compounds processing microalgae species. Furthermore, future challenges and prospects in the utilization of microalgae in heavy metals bioremediation are also explored. The current review aims to give valuable information to aid the advancement of robust and proficient future microalgae‐based heavy metal bioremediation innovations and summarizing a wide range of benefits socioeconomic scope to be employed in heavy metal compound removal in environment system.
