Full Description

This paper discusses the removal of heavy metal cations (e.g. Ni, Pb, Cd) by application of selective exchangers with imino-diacetic groups. These selective ion exchangers were successful at removing trace concentrations of heavy metal cations. The paper discusses options for heavy metal removal during drinking water treatment; properties of selective ion exchange resins; and, a pilot scale plant operation in of Monchengladbach, Germany. Includes tables, figures.
