Exploring the Efficacy of Methylated Gamma-Cyclodextrin (M-γ-CD) in the Removal of Heavy Metals in Soil Systems

Today’s cyclodextrin is about the Removal of Heavy Metals in Soil Systems

This review provides a comprehensive overview of environmental remediation strategies using cyclodextrin and examines the effectiveness of methylated gamma-cyclodextrin (M-γ-CD) for the elimination of toxic elements from impure soil matrices.

M-γ-CD has emerged as a potent agent for treating soil impurities with noxious metals forming inclusion complexes with heavy-metal ions, thereby cumulating the aqueous solubility and efficiency of pollutants in environmental applications and improving soil bioremediation.
