Abstract

The presence of nitrates in lakes, rivers, and groundwater is common. Anion exchange resins (AER) are polymeric structures that contain functional groups as well as a variety of particle sizes that are used for removing nitrate ions from solutions. This article provides a concise review of the types and properties of AER, synthesis methods, characterization, and environmental applications of AER. It discusses how different factors affect the adsorption process, isotherm and kinetic parameters, the adsorption mechanism, and the maximum adsorption capacities. Additionally, the present review addresses AER's regeneration and practical stability. It emphasizes the progress and proposes future strategies for addressing nitrate pollution using AER to overcome the challenges. This review aims to act as a reference for researchers working in the advancement of ion exchange resins and presents a clear and concise scientific analysis of the use of AER in nitrate adsorption. It is evident from the literature survey that AER is highly effective at removing nitrate ions from wastewater effluents.
