Polyvinylpyrrolidone Oxime: Removal of Heavy Metals from Water Bodies Based on Binding Properties

  • Sushila Singhal

Abstract

Metals like cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), and lead (Pb) may be exceedingly risky for humans and animals. These metals affect human health, including renal failure, bone smoothing, prostate cancer, liver damage, infant central nervous system damage, and reproductive organ harm. These metals constitute a potential human health concern, owing to their hazards and their broad environmental exposure, including their bioaccumulation and bioamplification. In this paper, PVP oxime dilute solutions were treated with dilute solutions of heavy metals mentioned above, and found that PVP oxime can be utilized in removal of heavy metals from wastewater by using the binding properties of PVP.
