Abstract
Abstract Crab (Scylla sp.) has long been recognized as an important commodity of coastal fisheries. Due to the high demand for fresh flesh in the food industry, an enormous amount of crab shell is generated as waste. Scylla sp. shell is a promising natural resource of green adsorbent for water pollutants. This commentary highlights the properties of Scylla sp. shell and the possible interactions with water pollutants. The superiority of crab shell adsorbents as compared to other novel adsorbents in previous findings was generalized and compared. The present challenges and future directions revolving around techno-economic perspectives were discussed to provide useful insight into practical applications in wastewater treatment.
期刊介绍：
Toxin Reviews provides an international forum for publishing state-of-the-art reviews and guest-edited single topic special issues covering the multidisciplinary research in the area of toxins derived from animals, plants and microorganisms. Our aim is to publish reviews that are of broad interest and importance to the toxinology as well as other life science communities. Toxin Reviews aims to encourage scientists to highlight the contribution of toxins as research tools in deciphering molecular and cellular mechanisms, and as prototypes of therapeutic agents. Reviews should emphasize the role of toxins in enhancing our fundamental understanding of life sciences, protein chemistry, structural biology, pharmacology, clinical toxinology and evolution. Prominence will be given to reviews that propose new ideas or approaches and further the knowledge of toxinology.
