Research Progress on Wastewater Treatment by Heavy Metal Ion Imprinted Polymer

Abstract

Owing to the efficient predetermination, specific recognition and wide applicability, metal ion imprinting technology, apply to the wastewater treatment. The principles, synthesis strategies of ion imprinting and typical heavy metal ion imprinted polymers (IIPs) are introduced in the review. Finally, it is pointed out that the futures research problems to be solved and the development direction of metal ion imprinting technology.

Controllable Synthesis and Photocatalytic Activity of Nano-BiOBr Photocatalyst

“…In recent years, the phenomenon of global water pollution has become a more and more severe issue with the rapid development of the economy, which has attracted widespread attention because of the close relationship between water resources and people's daily work and life [1,2]. Many ways can cause water pollution, one of them being the textile industry and wastewaters with organic dye, which are challenging due to their poor biodegradability [3][4][5]. Semiconductor bismuth halide (BiOX, X = Cl, Br, I)-based photocatalysts have attracted extensive attention from researchers because of their unique structure and excellent photocatalytic properties [6,7].…”
