Abstract

Heavy metal wastewater is becoming one of the most serious environmental problems today, a variety of technologies have been used to treat heavy metal wastewater. In this paper, the frequently-used treatment methods, which include chemical precipitation, coagulation-flocculation, electrochemical methods, membrane separation, ion-exchange and adsorption, were introduced, and their advantages and disadvantages were summarized.
