AB - In recent years with the rapid economic globalization, pollution by industries and agriculture has increased, which results in decrease in the quality of ground and surface water. Pollution by heavy metals has become a serious health issue world- wide due to their nonbiodegradable and persistent nature. Therefore, extensive research has been done to develop ecofriendly and effective methods for removal of heavy metals, such as chemical precipitation, ion exchange, electrodialysis, mem- brane filtration, and adsorption. Among these methods, adsorption is the most recognized technique for wastewater treatment due to high-removal efficiency and ease in operation without yielding harmful by-products. Recently, nanocomposites based on biopolymer-grafted synthetic adsorbent have been used in various indus- trial applications including wastewater treatment. Therefore, the present chapter will be devoted for the removal of toxic heavy metals from wastewater by using bionanocomposite. Keywords: heavy metals, bionanocomposite, adsorption, desorption 1. Introduction In today’s era, the industrialization, agriculture, and domestic activities have led to a large amount of wastewater having toxic elements such as lead, mercury, cadmium, copper, arsenic, chromium, etc., and dyes which has adversely affected human lives, animal lives, and environment. Among various heavy metals, Cr(VI) is one of the most important and toxic heavy
