AbstractBoron is an essential micronutrient that has raised much interest, given the narrow balance between its necessity and toxicity. Both natural and anthropogenic emissions of boron into water sources can eventually deteriorate water quality and endanger the ecosystem. In this review, we first present a general outline of the importance of boron, boron chemistry in water, boron contamination, and its consequences followed by the recent progress in boron removal methods based on adsorption. The adsorbents for deboronation can generally be classified based on the functional groups present; chelating groups, metal oxides, and layered double hydroxides. To comprehensively address these adsorption methods, a detailed discussion on the reaction mechanism of each system is done followed by a summary of the progress in the field during the past 5 years. Finally, some characterization techniques used in deboronation studies and suggestions for future research and applications together with possible improvements to the existing systems are presented.
