“…3) Production of nanocellulose from plant sources generally involves acid hydrolysis, alkali treatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, chemical modification. The high water and energy consumption together with limited yield are the main challenges in the preparation process, along with by-product toxicity (Espíndola et al, 2021;Trache et al, 2020).…”

“…Ref. [ 48 ] The possibility of converting cellulose into nanoscale materials using various methods has opened up a new arena to investigate the properties and possible applications in wastewater treatment [ 49 ]. The nanocelluloses are chosen over micro-sized materials for successful desalination, adsorption, and pollutant removal due to their high surface area, nano dimensions, good strength, and non-toxic nature [ 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ].…”

Progress and Prospects of Nanocellulose-Based Membranes for Desalination and Water Treatment

Membrane-based desalination has proved to be the best solution for solving the water shortage issues globally. Membranes are extremely beneficial in the effective recovery of clean water from contaminated water sources, however, the durability as well as the separation efficiency of the membranes are restricted by the type of membrane materials/additives used in the preparation processes. Nanocellulose is one of the most promising green materials for nanocomposite preparation due to its biodegradability, renewability, abundance, easy modification, and exceptional mechanical properties. This nanocellulose has been used in membrane development for desalination application in the recent past. The study discusses the application of membranes based on different nanocellulose forms such as cellulose nanocrystals, cellulose nanofibrils, and bacterial nanocellulose for water desalination applications such as nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, pervaporation, forward osmosis, and membrane distillation. From the analysis of studies, it was confirmed that the nanocellulose-based membranes are effective in the desalination application. The chemical modification of nanocellulose can definitely improve the surface affinity as well as the reactivity of membranes for the efficient separation of specific contaminants/ions.

“…77 Similarly, CCR can also be used to prepare lignocellulosic nanofibers and nanoparticles, 78 which have potential in bioplastic and degradable materials. 79 In addition, medium-density fibreboard (MDF), 80,81 and sludge from domestic wastewater 82 were all used to prepare nanocellulose. Compared with natural cellulose raw materials, the manufacturing process of industrial waste removes impurities in the raw materials to a certain extent (PMS contains a small amount of lignin, CCR contains almost no hemicellulose), but new impurities may also be introduced (resin adhesive in MDF and ink in waste paper), which make the NC production process different from that of natural cellulose materials.…”
