Magnetic Polymer for Removal of Water Pollutants

This book can be used in the field of water treatment technology. To cleanse water resources of toxic metal ions, various treatment techniques have been used, including chemical precipitation, liquid¿liquid extraction, ion exchange, filtration, electrochemical treatment, membrane separation, adsorption, etc. Among the widely used methods, adsorption is preferred due to its flexibility in design, lower cost, high efficiency and the availability of various adsorbents. Furthermore, because of the reversible nature of many adsorption processes, using suitable desorption processes, adsorbents can easily be regenerated to that these processes have high efficiency, low maintenance cost and ease of operation for multiple uses. The polymeric adsorbent in this book can be useful for refinery of water about some kind of heavy metal ions and organic pollutants.
