Heavy metal ions can become adsorbed onto the surface of soils or industrial solids, and can pose significant problems for facilities requiring the remediation of such soils or solids. All too frequently, the environmental professionals charged with designing a process or system to render a clean solid phase overlook the ultimate fate of the metal ions, and narrowly focus on the final characteristics of the solid phase. This can lead to the production of a highly contaminated liquid...
