Ion Exchange Resins for Selective Separation of Toxic Metals
A.K. Pramanik
Abstract
The proper resin selection can make ion exchange a cost-effective and effective pollution control method. Toxic ions in drinking water can be exchanged for other ions via solid ion exchange resin. Nowadays metals are common contaminants in surface water, groundwater, industrial wastewater and other effluent from various sources in the world. Such metals openly challenge and seriously threaten the environment and all living beings. In present time, huge techniques and instruments are developed to separate and filter the metals coming from different sources.
