To solve the environment pollution problem by toxic heavy metal contamination resulting from human technological activities has for long presented a challenge. Electroplating industries poses a major contribution to heavy metal pollution to environment. Since the process of biosorption has many attractive features compared to the conventional effluent treatment methods in electroplating industr...

Waste water purification is shown to be an important field of environmental hygiene for non-ferrous metal industries. Hydrometallurgy becomes of greater importance for metal production and refining. Quality standards for drinking water and rivers require a minimum of some harmful impurities, e.g. metal compounds. The unit operations of hydrometallurgy technologically parallel the methods of eff...
