Heavy metal ion separation of commercial polymeric membranes is investigated to elucidate the permeation mechanism and possibility on applying treatment of wastewater from various origins. Since wastewater contains significant amount of heavy metal ions, their treatment to recycle or reuse is necessary. Polyamide based commercial membranes are prepared to test their separation performance on single- & multi-component heavy metal aqueous solutions. This study indicates that polymeric membranes can be potential candidate for heavy metal separation.
