carbamates with cross-linked starch have been prepared and used from an aqueous
solution to adsorb Cu (II) ions. Batch adsorption studies were conducted based on
adsorption moment, dose of adsorbents, pH, content of substitute groups, original
concentrations of Cu(II) ions, and temperature (Xu et al. 2003).
2.9.2 Biopolymer Composite for Heavy Metal Removal
Despite their ultimate importance, when used in a smooth shape, biopolymers have
some obstacles limiting their use, such as their small upper layer and the exertion of
separating them from the medium. On the other side, in complicated multiphase
structures with an external magnetic field, magnetic adsorbents have a large area
upon the surface and are simple to isolate from the media and regulate (Gotoh
et al. 2004).
Composites made of different polysaccharides constitute another class of naturally secure products for multiple applications in the biological and industrial fields.
For instance, chitosan, gum arabic, β-cyclodextrin, and cellulose, magnetic nanomaterials functionalized with biopolymers were used to exclude poisonous metals
from water medium. Very little research has been performed on starch composite
preparing. The starch obtained from potato peels has been adjusted with acrylic acid
in this regard. Nanoparticles were synthesized consisting of substituted starch polymer and Fe 3 O 4 . The nanoadsorbents prepared were used to selectively remove Pb

ions from water (Zhou et al. 2016).
Because of their low price and biodegradability and therefore environmentally
friendly, starch-based copolymers are highly needed in sector. Because of environmental concerns, copolymers which have grafted starch have developed the central
idea for preparing hybrid superabsorbent nanocomposite. Starch has been shown to
be effective in stabilizing nanoscale particles of magnetite, and starch-supported
magnetite ore nanoparticles are powerful sorbents for in situ soil removal of arsenic
contaminated (Carlos et al. 2013).
A freshly designed strategy to reduce the process waste left behind in the manufacturing and leachable arsenic. A fresh group of starch-linked magnetite nanoparticles for arsenate removal were prepared and tested. As an additive to depress the
nanoparticle agglomeration, a cheap, green starch was used. Recently, Fe° nanoscale
steadied with multiple polymers; carboxymethyl cellulose and starch were investigated and contrasted for their ability to remove arsenic (III) and arsenic (V) from
water medium alternatives as the common arsenic removal iron nanoparticles (Liu
et al. 2015) (Fig. 2.8).
.
The most commonly occurring natural biopolymer lignocellulose has been noted
for its prospective adsorption of heavy metals because its molecules contain a big
amount of active hydroxyl, phenolic, carboxyl, and other working groups that can
be used in electrostatic interaction and heavy metal ion coordination sites. However,
it has block extensive application hard due to its bad reactivity, weak polydispersity
