“…The dangerousness of palladium, together with the increasing of its worldwide demand and price, justify the efforts to find an effective removal/recovery method for the metal released in surface and groundwaters, as well as waste waters (Hubicki and Leszczynska, 2005;Zereini and Alt, 2006). Different technologies for the removal/recovery of precious metals from different matrices (industrial wastes, aqueous solutions, various materials) are proposed in the literature, consisting in adsorption processes on active carbon or biomass, solvent extraction, electrodeposition, electrolytic recovery, ionic exchange, chemical precipitation, and filtration by suitable membranes (Bratskaya et al, 2009;Chand et al, 2009;Hubicki and Leszczynska, 2005;Hubicki et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2009;Nikoloski et al, 2015;Park and Fray, 2009;Volesky, 2003;Wang and Chen, 2009;Zuo et al, 1996).…”
