Abstract

To provide safe and clean water for a variety of purposes, water filtration is essential. Traditional filtration materials, while effective, often pose environmental concerns due to their non-biodegradable nature. In recent years, biodegradable polymers have emerged as a promising alternative in the field of water purification. This manuscript provides a comprehensive overview of biodegradable polymers used in water filtration, emphasizing recent advancements and applications. We explore the types of biodegradable polymers, their mechanisms in filtration, and highlight the latest developments and real-world applications. This technology is essential for ensuring the availability of clean water and protecting human health. Traditional filtration media, such as synthetic polymers, are effective but pose threat to environmental due to their non-biodegradable nature. Biodegradable polymers have emerged as a sustainable alternative for effective filtration with minimal environmental impact. This article reviews the latest advances in biodegradable polymers for filtrations process, exploring their types, synthesis of membrane, mechanisms, and recent applications.

Keywords- Biodegradable polymer, Synthesis process, Filtration technique, Environmental issues.
