Abstract

With the acceleration of industrialization, wastewater pollution has become an increasingly severe issue, and the search for efficient, low-cost wastewater treatment methods has become a research hotspot. Eggshell membrane, as a biological adsorbent material, has shown great potential in wastewater treatment due to its abundant sources, rich active functional groups, and unique structure. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the current research status of eggshell membrane in wastewater treatment, including preparation and characterization methods, adsorption performance for different ions, adsorption mechanisms, and practical application scenarios, and offers insights into future development directions, aiming to provide references for further research and application of eggshell membrane in the field of wastewater treatment.
