Grantham Scholar James Bezzina is first author of a paper that looks at a process where weak acid leaching of sewage sludge would be coupled to ion exchange for heavy metal ion removal.
Highlights: • MTS9301 is effective at extracting selected metal ions from all tested media.
• Citrate media is effective at hindrance of metal adsorption.
• TP214 can selectively extract copper from high complexing solutions.
• C107E can selectively extract lead from lactate media.
