Abstract

<jats:sec> <jats:title>Background:</jats:title> <jats:p>Water contamination by noxious heavy metals due to urbanization is a global environmental problem. Heavy metal ions pollution make the water unsuitable for drinking and are also highly toxic to human beings and eco-system. Remediation of heavy metals is therefore very crucial. </jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Method:</jats:title> <jats:p>Adsorbents based on biopolymer and eco-friendly polymer composites have been developed and fabricated to remediate and remove heavy metals from the ecosystem. </jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Result:</jats:title> <jats:p>In recent years, biocomposites have been successful as cost effective adsorbents for the remediation of various contaminants with their eco-friendly nature and sustainability. </jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusion:</jats:title> <jats:p>This review article gives an overview on the remediation of heavy metals using green biocomposites. </jats:p> </jats:sec>
