Heavy metal water pollution poses a threat to both human health and the environment. Using a biomimetic approach inspired by the structure of marine corals, it has been possible to develop highly efficient adsorbent materials capable of removing metal ions, even at trace levels, such as Cd(II), Cr(VI), Pb(II), and Au(III). The effectiveness and regenerative behavior of these materials make them promising not only for wastewater treatment but also for the recovery of noble metals from electronic waste.
L’inquinamento idrico da metalli pesanti rappresenta una minaccia per la salute umana e per l’ambiente. Utilizzando un approccio biomimetico ispirato alla struttura dei coralli marini è stato possibile sviluppare materiali adsorbenti ad alta efficienza per rimuovere centri metallici, presenti anche in tracce, come Cd (II), Cr (VI), Pb (II), e Au (III). L’efficacia e il comportamento rigenerativo di questi materiali li rende promettenti non solo per il trattamento delle acque reflue, ma anche per il recupero di metalli nobili da rifiuti elettronici.

Abstract
Heavy metal water pollution poses a threat to both human health and the environment. Using a biomimetic approach inspired by the structure of marine corals, it has been possible to develop highly efficient adsorbent materials capable of removing metal ions, even at trace levels, such as Cd(II), Cr(VI), Pb(II), and Au(III). The effectiveness and regenerative behavior of these materials make them promising not only for wastewater treatment but also for the recovery of noble metals from electronic waste.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
