The rapid pace of global industrialization and population growth has intensified freshwater scarcity water pollution, necessitating urgent solutions. Adsorption technology, favored for its cost-effectiveness, simplicity, scalability, emerged as a promising approach. Hydrogels, particularly cellulose-based hydrogels (CBHs), have gained significant attention green adsorbents due to their biodegradability, non-toxicity, low cost, exceptional adsorption capacity. This paper reviews recent advancements in CBHs sustainable wastewater treatment, focusing on synthesis techniques, performance, mechanisms removing heavy metals, dyes, micropollutants. Updated applications outcomes are also discussed. Despite advantages, face challenges such limited mechanical strength, practical production difficulties, insufficient reuse studies, separation inefficiencies. review addresses these issues explores future prospects implementation. findings provide valuable insights into advancing efficient treatment
