Abstract The growing presence of pharmaceutical pollutants in aquatic environments poses significant threats to both human health and ecosystems. Despite their crucial role healthcare, pharmaceuticals enter water systems through various sources, making them some the most critical environmental contaminants. Traditional wastewater treatments, which are classified into physical, chemical, biological techniques, often struggle effectively remove pharmaceuticals. Among these methods, adsorption stands out as a reliable versatile approach for removing organic enhancing efficiency treatment processes. Biopolymers, particularly chitosan, gaining attention due numerous advantages, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, affordability, high capability, non‐toxicity, availability from diverse natural sources. Chitosan, hydrophilic biopolymer, can be chemically modified by incorporating nanoparticles (e.g., metal oxides, carbon‐based materials, magnetic particles) boost its efficiency. These advancements enable chitosan‐based nanocomposites range pharmaceuticals, antibiotics, analgesics, hormones, water. This review examines latest developments nanocomposite adsorbents, emphasizing fundamental mechanisms, optimization conditions, kinetic behaviors, isotherm models. factors collectively determine capturing pollutants. Moreover, underscores potential materials remediation, offering valuable insights application future research directions. Ultimately, aim this is provide insight offer an innovative effective solution challenge contamination By addressing key challenges utilizing advanced material designs, adsorbents hold great promise sustainable efficient removal systems.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the effects of chitosan, extracted from shrimp shells, on engineering, antioxidant, antibacterial, and microstructural properties chitosan–alginate–carrageenan‐based hydrogels. Hydrogels were synthesized with fixed sodium alginate (1.00 g) carrageenan (0.50 while varying chitosan content 0.50 1.50 g (samples M1, M2, M3, M4, M5). Among samples, M3 chitosan) demonstrated optimal performance a tensile strength 5.3 MPa, swelling ratio 1202% (at pH 7) 1256% 11), lowest conductivity (306.2 μS/cm). sample also exhibited highest scavenging activity (94.95%) after 120 h maximum antibacterial efficiency (99.2% against E. coli , 99.0% S. aureus ). Structural characterization revealed that had an amorphous structure confirmed by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), highly porous microstructure (micron‐sized pores) observed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), facilitating water absorption molecular diffusion. Analysis Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicated strong intermolecular interactions through ionic bonds hydrogen bonding among OH, NH, CO, COO − OSO 3 COC groups.
