“…This mechanism was confirmed by many researchers, such as Agrawal et al [102] and Uddin et al [103]. Many recent reviews were published on the removing of hazardous pollutants (i.e., both organic and inorganic materials) from water/wastewater using nanofibers such as Chen et al [104], Cui et al [35], Ibrahim et al [105], Jahan and Zhang [106], Marinho et al [107], Sakib et al [80], Sjahro et al [108], and El-Aswar et al [109]. These previous studies confirmed that electrospun nanofiber membranes could be easily used for achieving different water treatments by combining multifunctional materials due to their high specific surface area and unique interconnected structure [104].…”

Natural fibers are an important source for producing polymers, which are highly applicable in their nanoform and could be used in very broad fields such as filtration for water/wastewater treatment, biomedicine, food packaging, harvesting, and storage of energy due to their high specific surface area. These natural nanofibers could be mainly produced through plants, animals, and minerals, as well as produced from agricultural wastes. For strengthening these natural fibers, they may reinforce with some substances such as nanomaterials. Natural or biofiber-reinforced bio-composites and nano–bio-composites are considered better than conventional composites. The sustainable application of nanofibers in agricultural sectors is a promising approach and may involve plant protection and its growth through encapsulating many bio-active molecules or agrochemicals (i.e., pesticides, phytohormones, and fertilizers) for smart delivery at the targeted sites. The food industry and processing also are very important applicable fields of nanofibers, particularly food packaging, which may include using nanofibers for active–intelligent food packaging, and food freshness indicators. The removal of pollutants from soil, water, and air is an urgent field for nanofibers due to their high efficiency. Many new approaches or applicable agro-fields for nanofibers are expected in the future, such as using nanofibers as the indicators for CO and NH3. The role of nanofibers in the global fighting against COVID-19 may represent a crucial solution, particularly in producing face masks.

“…Interestingly, some bacteria also can produce nanostructure polymer membranes. [90] Cellulose has now been regarded as a raw material for membrane fabrication, whether as a single or a composite with other materials. Cellulose-based as one of the natural organic polymer-based membranes, has several advantages, such as environmentally friendly, less toxic to human and animals, abundant stock in nature, excellent mechanical properties, and rich in hydroxyl groups which benefit for tailoring it with other functional groups based on desired properties and characteristics.…”

Cellulose is a linear syndiotactic homopolymer, made up of glucose units designated as D‐anhydroglucopyranose units (AGU). The glucose units are connected with each other by b‐(l‐4)‐glycosidic linkage to form a dimeric structure known as cellobiose. These units are assembled into microfibils in a heirarchial manner with excellent strength and stiffness. The properties of cellulose can be further enhanced by either surface functionalization or by converting it to nano form. Nanocellulosic materials are non‐toxic, biodegradable, biocompatible and exhibit enhanced surface properties so widely used for purification of water through adsorption process. This review outlined the most recent updates of uses of cellulose and cellulose derived nano material, composite and nanocomposite as a new class of adsorbents for water remediation.

“…Renewable lignocellulose biomass (LCB) has entered the field of vision of researchers because of its abundance on the earth [1] . The obtained products and derivatives are widely used in social and industrial production, such as bioenergy, [2] food and drugs, [3] materials, [4] catalysts, [5] sewage treatment, [6] and value‐added chemicals [7] . Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are the main components of LCB, its cross‐linked structure hinders the further utilization of LCB [8] .…”

Lignocellulose biomass (LCB) has extensive applications in many fields such as bioenergy, food, medicines, and raw materials for producing value-added products. One of the keys to efficient utilization of LCB is to obtain directly available oligo-and monomers (e. g., glucose). With the characteristics of easy recovery and separation, high efficiency, economy, and environmental protection, immobilized enzymes have been developed as heterogeneous catalysts to degrade LCB effectively. In this review, applications and mechanisms of LCB-degrading enzymes are discussed, and the nanomaterials and methods used to immobilize enzymes are also discussed. Finally, the research progress of lignocellulose biodegradation catalyzed by nano-enzymes was discussed.
