“…Ni(II) and Cd(II) are two of the most common heavy metal ions found in e uents from a wide range of industries [8][9][10][11], which have been identi ed as the most dangerous heavy metals. Both are nonbiodegradable and easily enriched in organisms and can cause various serious diseases, such as kidney damage, bone degeneration, hypertension, emphysema, nervous system damage, and even cancer [12,13]. In recent years, many effective methods for removing heavy metal ions have been developed, including chemical precipitation [14,15], ion exchange [16], adsorption [6], membrane ltration [3], oxidation-reduction [17], and biological and photocatalytic methods [18,19].…”
