Heavy metal ion discharges from industrial processes have become a serious environmental problem because of their high bioaccumulation characteristics. Thus, the removal of heavy metal ions is important for human beings and the environment. Nano/micro-adsorbents show a high specific surface area relative to the volume, which enables nano/micro-adsorbents to be a potential candidate for adsorbent with a high performance. However, it has been recently reported that the unintended leakage of nano/micro-materials into the environment can cause a significant threat to the environment and public health. To address this problem, we developed a bulk adsorbent containing three types of nano/micro-adsorbents for removal of heavy metal ions. |
