Serious challenges instigated by pollution are driving research seeking feasible strategies for social, economic, and environmental sustainability. The fascinating science of selective adsorbents of heavy- or precious-metal pollutants such as lead, mercury, gold, and silver ions has attracted investigation by many capable materials scientists, chemists, and environmental engineers, resulting in rapidly increasing progress with time. This book reveals theoretical and practical information that will assist in the study, research, and innovations of effective adsorbents towards toxic and noble metal ions. It allows the reader to pursue an answer to this mystery through interdisciplinary scientific knowledge of material design, synthesis, and environmental purification of strong adsorbents, as has never been presented systematically before, demonstrating the nature of the unique molecular and morphological structures of the adsorbent and how to design and optimize molecular and material structures.
