Remediation of Heavy Metals Meet the challenge of contaminated water with a range of sustainable tools The treatment of water which has been polluted by heavy metals is an increasingly significant environmental challenge in an industrialized global economy. The ongoing revolution in green technologies, however, has seen a range of sustainable methods emerge for treating water, soils, and other parts of the environment polluted by trace metals. By putting these methods into practice, environmental researchers and industrial professionals can improve water quality, and public health globally. Remediation of Heavy Metals offers a clear, accessible reference on these methods and their applications. It offers an overview of the major effects of heavy metal contamination and works through each of the methods or protocols available to remediate soil and minimize pollution at the source. Remediation of Heavy Metals readers will also find: * Comparison of different approaches for heavy metal removal * Detailed discussion of physical, chemical, and biological remediation methods * Case studies demonstrating proper remediation Remediation of Heavy Metals provides key knowledge for environmental scientists, environmental toxicologists, and other researchers or industrial professionals working in heavy metal removal, as well as advanced graduate students in these areas.

Environmental pollution by heavy metals is a global problem posing environmental and human health risks. Heavy metals are highly toxic, bioaccumulate, and persistent, thus, their health risks may last for a long period following their release into the environment. Traditionally, several insitu and ex‐situ conventional technologies have been used for the remediation of heavy metals, but most of them have limitations, including high cost. Thus, recent years have witnessed the rapid advances in our understanding of heavy metals. These advances cover the following aspects: (i) ecological and health risks, including toxicology and phytotoxicity; (ii) detection tools; (iii) sustainable and novel remediation technologies; and (iv) final disposal of heavy metal‐laden waste materials such as spent adsorbents. However, on the one hand, existing books tend to pay particular attention to conventional remediation methods. On the other hand, information on recent advances on heavy metals remains scattered in individual articles. Therefore, the present 12‐book chapter addresses this gap by providing an up‐to‐date comprehensive synthesis of recent advances in heavy metals.
The 12 chapters address aspects that can be classified under the following main categories:
The environmental release, occurrence, and behavior of heavy metals
The detection methods for heavy metals in environmental matrices
Ecological risk of heavy metals and metalloids, including phytotoxicity in food crops
Human health risks of heavy metals
Remediation of heavy metals using chemical methods
Novel carbon‐based adsorption (bio)materials for metal remediation
Application of novel adsorbents from industrial wastes to remove heavy metals
Phytoremediation of heavy metals, including microbe‐assisted removal
Bioremediation of heavy metals in acid mine drainage
Recycling and disposal of spent metal(loid)‐laden adsorbents
Compared to earlier books on related topics that often focus on one aspect, the present book tracks heavy metals from their release into the environment, behavior and fate, ecological and human health risks, remediation using various methods, and disposal of metal‐laden spent adsorbents. Overall, the book provides a one‐stop comprehensive discussion of heavy metals in the environment.
The book has a total 12 chapters, each one structured in the format of a comprehensive review paper based on critical analysis of the evidence. In the chapters, a state‐of‐the art on the topic is presented, followed by future perspectives, including knowledge gaps.
The chapters are presented in a logical sequence, starting with those on release and occurrence of heavy metals, followed by health risks, mitigation, and then disposal of spent metal‐laden adsorbents.
The book is well‐illustrated with several figures and tables.
The presentation in terms of structure, language, and style is approachable, making it easy for the reader to understand.
This book is a must‐have resource and indispensable for those interested in understanding recent advances in the environmental occurrence, behavior, health risk, mitigation of heavy metals, and disposal of metal‐laden wastes. Specific target groups for the book include:
Undergraduate students in environmental sciences, environmental engineering, and mining‐related disciplines such as environmental geology and metallurgy.
Postgraduate students in environmental sciences, environmental engineering, and related disciplines.
Academics and researchers in environmental sciences, environmental engineering, and health risk assessment.
Practitioners in environmental management, public health, and occupational health and safety.
Environmental regulatory agencies and decision‐ and policy‐makers.

The group of heavy metals has been the focus of much research and scientific studies for two reasons: they are released into the environment on a daily basis in different regions of the world and are highly harmful to human and animal health (Proshad et al. 2021). They are classified as heavy due to their high molecular weight being detected in biological and environmental samples in various source compositions (Proshad et al. 2021). When they are harmful to health, regardless of the concentration, they are classified as heavy metals, namely: zinc (Zn), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), thallium (Tl), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), vanadium (V), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), iron (Fe), and lead (Pb) (Li et al. 2014). Both physiological and biological functioning depend on these elements (Lien et al. 2014; Kumar et al. 2018). Several activities in society are responsible for the release of these ions (Kim and Kim 2020). The source of release in food crops varies greatly by region of the world. In developed countries, the use of fertilizers such as sewage sludge and industrial effluents is the activity that mostly releases metals into the environment. In developing countries, irrigation with incorrectly treated sludge and effluents becomes the main input of heavy metals into the soil (Rai and Singh 2018). However, the deposition of these contaminants in the environment still involves several mechanisms. Therefore, these ions are released in different compartments present in society, namely: urban systems with industries, agricultural activities, watersheds, mining activities, public transport vehicles, and estuaries, among others (Figure 1.1). Distribution can occur on a regional, local, or global scale. Studies on the presence of heavy metals in watersheds are complex because they involve several sources such as soil, atmospheric deposition, river water, sediment, and biosphere. Physical–chemical processes, such as water‐rock interactions from riverside and flood plains, atmospheric deposition (Nickel et al. 2014), and soil erosion and leaching (Li et al. 2020) are classified as carriers of contaminants. In this respect, river water acts as a sink for contaminants within the watershed. In the image, we can see that river water is the primary carrier, whereas the secondary carriers are sediments, atmospheric deposition, and soil.
Figure 1.1 Mechanisms and sources of release of heavy metals in water resources.
The degree of toxicity of these ions in food crops requires specific attention to define the real damage to health that each metal can generate. Some metals such as iron, copper, and zinc are essential in metabolic processes in biota (Zhuang et al. 2009). Uréase has nickel in its composition, and it is known that in large concentrations it can cause problems for human health (Zhuang et al. 2009). These interactions between food, soil, and plants are a model of abiotic‐biotic linkages in the environment. Maintaining a balanced soil in relation to the presence of metals is essential, as sustenance and the food source depend on it. However, the unbalanced presence of these elements can cause a disturbance; an example is industrial activities such as the manufacture of chemicals (alkalis and chlorine), thermoelectric plants, energy industries, foundries, and textiles, among others, which are considered punctual sources of metal release. Agricultural runoff and soil erosion are classified as non‐point sources (Figure 1.1). In addition to the human health problem, these elements alter the activities and microbial interactions of the soil, directly affecting its fertility and quality (Gadd 2010; Gall et al. 2015; Rai and Singh 2018). Other living organisms such as insects and even mammals that are needed by the soil are harmed (Gall et al. 2015; Bartrons and Peñuelas 2017; Rai and Singh 2018). Some cultures use various plants for medicinal purposes; therefore, determining the presence of metals in these plants is highly necessary since it can bring other damage to the health of these people (Shen et al. 2017). Another concern is that some species can bioaccumulate in their tissues metals such as cadmium, chromium, arsenic, lead, and iron; this situation is aggravated when these plants are close to areas of point sources (El Hamiani et al. 2015; Bolan et al. 2017; Kim et al. 2017; Kohzadi et al. 2019). Not only are species grown in the open air subject to contamination, but those grown in greenhouses are also subject to contamination; however, iron is not present in these crops due to lower lighting (Ling et al. 2017). Knowing the mechanisms that involve the release of metals in soil and food is essential for planning remediation technologies.
Due to the high toxicity of some metals, public bodies such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have established release limits into the environment (Carolin et al. 2017). The permitted range (10–250 mg l−1) varies depending on the metal and the regulatory agency; however, if the value is exceeded, it can cause serious damage to different regions of the human body (Vinod Kumar et al. 2014). Due to physical and chemical interactions, ions are rapidly absorbed by biological matrices through different pathways (Ray and Shipley 2015; Tan et al. 2015; Priyadarshini and Pradhan 2017; Ragab et al. 2017). The excessive release of these ions, added to consumption by the body, leads to serious health problems, making their detection and removal from the environment a major social challenge, as illustrated in Figure 1.2.
In order to perform the detection of toxic ions even in small concentrations, highly sensitive techniques were developed (Figure 1.2), with the most commonly applied being inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS) and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) (Sener et al. 2014; Oliveira et al. 2015). For removal and remediation, it is possible to observe different analytical methods that have been created and improved in recent times (chemical precipitation, electrochemical methods, ion exchange, and bioremoval); however, they are little applied due to cost (Kiatkumjorn et al. 2014; Swain et al. 2015). With the application of nanomaterials, the colorimetric technique has shown high selectivity, being efficient in environmental monitoring. Based on color change (plasmon resonance), detection by visible UV absorption spectrophotometry can also be applied. However, bringing together all the advantages such as selectivity, low cost, and environmental friendliness, there are still barriers that can be overcome with advanced technologies in optics, electronics, and electrochemistry (Zhao et al. 2017). With a greater number of desirable variables, detection in nanomaterials has been gaining ground in recent years (Hung et al. 2010; Anwar et al. 2018; Rossi et al. 2021). In this area, sensitive and efficient nanoprobes have also been developed for detecting metal ions (Liu et al. 2019). By causing a change in the surface and color plasmon resonance absorption peak, colorimetric sensors modify metal‐induced particle segregation. The target ion provides the agglomeration of nanoparticles by changing the color of the solution (Wang et al. 2020).
Aiming to prevent damage to human and environmental health, calorimetric probes based on nanomaterials using plasmon resonance were applied to detect metals in low concentrations present in food samples and water resources (Shrivas and Wu 2007; Shrivas et al. 2015). For the same purpose, Khalkho et al. (2021) used Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) coupled with liquid/liquid solvent extraction, single drop microextraction (SDME), and cloud point microextraction techniques. By focusing on metals harmful to health, studies prove that the method of preconcentration of ions using sodium diethyldithiocarbamate immobilized in polyurethane foam (PU‐NaDDC) successfully detected the target pollutant both in biological environmental samples and in liquid environmental samples (dos Santos et al. 2009). Using the same method, it was also possible to detect mercury ions in sedimented areas (dos Santos et al. 2009). Seeking to determine the presence of copper in organic food samples,Shrivas and Jaiswal (2013) used the method based on the separation and preconcentration of the target present in an extraction solvent containing PBITU together with a dispersion solvent. Shrivas and Wu (2007) jointly used SDME with atmospheric pressure mass spectrometry (AP)‐MALDI to analyze the presence of metal ions in real river water samples in gas chromatography (GC), high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and capillary electrophoresis (CE).
Figure 1.2 Impact of hazardous heavy metals on human health and analysis, detection, and treatment technologies.
The analytical methods improved and developed so far are soxhlet extraction, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), solvent‐based liquid phase microextraction (LLME), solid phase extraction (SPE), solvent microextraction (SME), dispersive microextraction (DME), solid phase microextraction (SPME), SDME, and liquid–liquid microextraction (SLM), all focused on preconcentration and isolation of metals in food, biological, and environmental samples (Liang and Sang 2008; Kocot and Sitko 2014; Vessally et al. 2018). The great advantage of these analytical methods is the speed of the analysis, the ease of operation, and the high sensitivity to the presence of metallic ions; all these points provide high performance in analysis with different sophisticated instruments.
Heavy metals and metalloids have various applications in the industrial arena for manufacturing processes, coating purposes, and finishing purposes. The elements such as cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), silver (Ag), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), and the platinum group elements are considered heavy metals because their specific densities are at least five times that of water. Since the beginning of recorded history, metals have influenced human communities and history. Several cultures have transitioned between the bronze and iron ages, and various metals have been widely tested in their tools and weaponry. Although the ancients were aware of a variety of metals and non‐metals, the greatest number of elements from raw ore was crucial throughout the industrial revolution (1700–1900) (Buyst 2018; Wångmar 2022). Several heavy metals discovered in ancient times came into use in the late 1990s. For instance, scandium, found in the year 1879, has a niche usage in the modern day (Benvenuto 2016). Researchers nowadays are focusing on the use of recovered heavy metals and rare earth metals from waste for various applications (Selvi et al. 2019; Tang et al. 2019; Ramprasad et al. 2022).
Heavy metals have several applications in various industries and other sectors that are discussed in Table 1.1. There are limited reports on the application of metal and derived metal oxides in various industries like textile, tanning, leather, rubber, electrical, electronics, plating, paint, petroleum, mining, and biomedical. Raw heavy metals and metallic composites, as well as nanoparticles made of lead, gold, silver, platinum, zinc, copper, and palladium, for instance, have been widely employed in a variety of goods, from cosmetics to pharmaceuticals, electrical to automobiles, and medical industries.
The environment and ecosystem have been harmed by the rapid industrialization and increasing pace of population expansion, which is a very serious worry on a global scale. Solitarily, if the three sphere's such as atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere are devoid of harmful substances, only then we can attain a sustainable ecosystem. All types of ecosystems have been greatly impacted by these dangerous components, which have disrupted the various interconnected food chains of ecosystems. The present study concludes that there are various sources for the heavy metals released into the environment such as industries, domestic utilities, agricultural fertilizers, vehicular emissions, and mining activities. The released heavy metals have many toxicological effects, such as bioaccumulation and biomagnification, leading to cancer and other health‐related issues. The detection methods of heavy metals in the various environmental compartments like soil, water, air, and plants were discussed like UV spectrometer, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS), gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC MS), and HPLC. The various physical, chemical, and biological remediation techniques available for cleaning heavy metals from the environment were elaborately discussed. The study concludes that heavy metals and metalloids have various industrial applications that are highlighted. Heavy metals have their own occupational health risk if they exceed the permissible limits.

Advanced functional materials, metal‐organic frameworks, graphene oxides, carbon nanotubes, and metalloids were being developed and used predominantly in many industries. Further research is needed to address the removal of such emerging pollutants using novel and sustainable technologies. Additionally, the emerging removal technology should address issues of efficiency, effectiveness, cost of operation and maintenance, toxicity of by‐products, and proper handling of post‐remediation waste. Effective enforcement of public policies and legal requirements governing environmental protection is also necessary, in addition to the use of engineering and technological methods.
