Abstract

Abstract A novel diffusion process of gel-phase extraction for the removal of heavy-metal ions is proposed in this paper. A typical heavy-metal ion, copper ion, is selectively transported into the gel-phase by its complexation with EDTA or precipitation as hydroxide in the phase. Heavy-metal ions are separated and fixed in the gel-phase as a passive collector without any exterior energy.
