Adsorption processes are vital and ubiquitous in nature, and represent a fundamental step to many wide-ranging chemical applications. Adsorptive removal represents the least expensive and technically efficient method for the uptake and separation of chemical species in complex matrices such as aquatic environments. Adsorbent materials such as polysaccharide biopolymers are of considerable scientific and technological interest because their unique properties can be exploited to address a range of technological applications (e.g., environmental remediation, controlled release of pharmaceuticals, chemical separations, food processing). Synthetic modification of naturally occurring polysaccharides offers wide-ranging opportunities for incremental tuning of their molecular structure and functional properties.

吸附过程在自然界中是至关重要且普遍存在的，并且代表了许多广泛的化学应用的基本步骤。吸附去除是在复杂基质（如水生环境）中吸收和分离化学物质的最便宜和技术上最有效的方法。吸附剂材料如多糖生物聚合物具有相当大的科学和技术兴趣，因为它们的独特性质可以被利用来解决一系列技术应用（例如，环境修复、药物的受控释放、化学分离、食品加工）。天然存在的多糖的合成改性提供了广泛的机会，其分子结构和功能特性的增量调整。
