| Abstract | The regular increase of pollutants with toxic metal ions in water reservoir that show a substantial world-wide issue because of their persistence, non-biodegradable behaviour and it easily accumulate in living organism. Their minimum concentrations caused adverse effect on livening being. A suitable emerging materials monosaccharide xanthate an organic compound which was synthesised by using simple sugar and carbon disulfides under basic medium which acts as an effective biosorbents for removal of toxic metal ions. Due to presence of significant amounts of hydroxyl groups, biodegradable and non-toxic nature it has much affinity toward metal ions, xanthates formed from glucose, fructose, and mannose a monosaccharide that reveal outstanding chelating and adsorption potential. This review illustrated about the synthetic routes, structure and functional process of the xanthates that focused on its important for removal of Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+ and Hg2+ form aqueous medium. There are also discussed on the experimental parameters that effects the removal of toxic metal ions. At the end it also focused on it limitation and future guidelines for emerging economical and eco friendly adsorbent of xanthates for commercially applicable for wastewater treatment. |
