Heavy Metal Removal from Wastewater Using Adsorbents

This chapter presents a sequential summary of various solutions for heavy metal remediation adopted over the decades with improved techniques and efficient eco-friendly methods. Heavy metals (specific gravity>5) are released into water bodies due to rapid urbanization and create plenty of environmental problems. A scientific approach gradually being adopted by the researchers always struggles to resolve such issues and thanks to their breakthroughs to solve such problems with innovative avenues and cutting-edge technologies in the modern era. A good variety of methods with emphasis on adsorption technique for heavy metal removal is summarized.
