Remediation of Heavy Metals

Abstract

Heavy metal contents in natural water resources and industrial wastewater threaten the environment and human health. For this reason, heavy metal removal from water resources is one of the primary needs for the reuse of resources. In addition to the conventional methods for the removal of heavy metals from water, removal and recovery can also be carried out with high efficiency with ion exchange materials. With ion exchange, unwanted ions are replaced by others that do not contribute to environmental pollution. The method is technologically simple and allows even traces of contamination to be removed from solutions. This chapter emphasizes the ion exchange materials (organic and inorganic) used for the removal of heavy metals from water sources and industrial wastewaters on the basis of the ion exchange process.
