Removal of toxic component

The separation of metal ions is of fundamental importance in research and technology. It is widely used in analytical chemistry and radiochemistry and also has industrial applications in the chemical industry, in the nuclear industry, in the mineral and hydrometallurgical processes, and in environmentally related applications. The selective removal of toxic components from waste effluents and the separation and preconcentration of the different metal species from aqueous solutions can be achieved by solvent extraction (SX), ion exchange (IX), and solvent-impregnated resin technique.
