treatment step for the detoxification of municipal effluents. Their results clearly
indicated that ECP materials are efficient as non-conventional adsorbents to treat
complex mixtures. Bioassays also confirmed the environmental benefits obtained
after ECP polymer treatment: the decrease in pollutant concentrations in effluents
resulted in a significant reduction of toxicity water. The authors also showed that
both inclusion complex formation of pollutants with cyclodextrin and physisorption
due to the polymer network played a role in the adsorption mechanism. These
chemical and biological results are very encouraging. Now, the industry should be
convinced to use these materials in their wastewater treatment plants as we mentioned in our last review (Morin-Crini et al. 2018a).
