Аннотация

Waste-derived natural polymers offer a route to low-cost sorbents for toxic metal ions, but reported performance is difficult to compare because precursor composition, polymer processing, modification, and experimental conditions vary widely. This critical review examines silk fibroin, banana peel, orange peel, and pectin as structurally distinct platforms and evaluates how macromolecular chemistry, esterification, ionic crosslinking, morphology, and regeneration influence metal uptake. Particular attention is given to the distinction between untreated biomass, isolated biopolymers, and chemically engineered materials; to mechanistic evidence from spectroscopy, elemental analysis, ion exchange, and controlled structural modification; and to the limitations of interpreting Langmuir or pseudo-second order fitting as direct proof of adsorption mechanism. The literature supports strong roles for pectic carboxyl groups and Ca2+-mediated exchange in several cation-binding systems, while silk fibroin provides a reusable protein-based matrix with different donor-site chemistry. Across the four platforms, high qmax values are not transferable material constants and do not by themselves establish selectivity, practical treatment performance, or analytical sensitivity. Major gaps include precursor standardization, matched comparison of raw and modified sorbents, multicomponent and real-water testing, nonlinear model evaluation, continuous-flow studies, regeneration stability, metal recovery, and end-of-life management. Diffuse-reflectance sensing is considered as a downstream value-added function once a reproducible biosorbent has been established. An evidence-based roadmap is proposed for converting polymer-rich wastes into controlled, regenerable, and application-oriented biosorbents.
