Features: "Natural polymer flocculants are derived from renewable resources, non-toxic, and biodegradable. Research indicates that their quality can be comparable to high-quality synthetic polymer flocculants. With the advancement of new technologies and higher environmental requirements, it is predicted that natural polymer flocculants will experience accelerated development in the first 30 years of the 21st century. The author has collected a large amount of relevant materials from domestic and international sources, summarizing the research and application of natural polymer flocculants derived from starch, cellulose, chitosan, plant gums, proteins, and microorganisms, providing readers with a comprehensive introduction to the content related to natural polymer flocculants, particularly the preparation and application of natural polymer flocculants, allowing readers to understand the key aspects of their preparation. It is hoped that this book will serve as a catalyst for readers to think about the preparation and application of polymer flocculants, contributing to the advancement of environmentally friendly natural polymer flocculants and water treatment technology in China. This book is suitable for researchers working in water treatment technology, environmental engineering, environmental science, polymer synthesis, fine chemical engineering, and related fields, as well as for faculty and students in relevant disciplines at colleges and universities."
