Recently, NTU Environmental Protection, Nanjing University and Shaanxi University of Science and Technology jointly completed the "New technology for advanced treatment and recycling of heavy metal wastewater based on environmental nanocomposite materials" project, won the first prize of the 2013 Technology Invention Award issued by the Ministry of Education。 Industries such as mining and metallurgy, electronic electroplating and tanning are the key industries for the prevention and control of heavy metal pollution in China's water bodies, and the wastewater discharge accounts for about 16% of the total industrial wastewater discharge。Heavy metals are highly bioenriched, highly toxic, and cannot be degraded. Commonly used treatment technologies such as chemical precipitation, ion exchange, adsorption, etc., are restricted by precipitation-dissolution equilibrium and non-selective treatment mechanism, and the treatment capacity is far from meeting the sustainable extraction of such pollutants in China...
