Abstract
Technologies for selective metal ion separation from water and wastewater are currently attracting strong research interest as a pathway to greater sustainability. The chemistry of metal ion separation processes is critical for understanding the mechanisms of selectivity and making the technologies viable. This paper discusses current advances and challenges in metal ion separation technologies from chemical points of view and proposes how they should be approached in the future.
