New approach for the removal of metal ions from water: adsorption onto aquatic plants and microwave reaction for the fabrication of nanometals.
We adsorb heavy metal ions such as Ag(+), Pb(2+), and Ru(3+) onto an aquatic plant and convert the adsorbed ions to the corresponding nanometallic particles by the polyol reaction carried out in a microwave oven.
