Abstract

Worldwide, hazardous heavy metals are the major water pollutants. Adsorption-based removal of the hazardous heavy metals from water is the most evaluated methods. In this context, nano-Akaganéites are tauted as excellent adsorbents for removal of hazardous heavy metals from water. This chapter will report synthesis and characteristics of nano-Akaganéites for adsorption-based removal of hazardous heavy metals from water. Several synthesis pathways will be reviewed. Morphological, structural, and phase characteristics of nano-Akaganéites will be discussed in correlation with their ability to remove heavy metals (such as As(III), Se(VI), etc.,) through adsorption.
