Investigation of the removal and recovery of metal cations and anions from dilute aqueous solutions using polymer – surfactant aggregates

<p>Dilute metallic ion treatment (&LT;10 mg/L) remains a challenge in water purification and resource recovery. A novel and inexpensive treatment process that employs polymer–surfactant aggregates (PSAs) has been developed and applied to remove and recover dilute metallic ions, such...
