Abstract
Abstract HEAVY METAL POLLUTANT IONS ARE REMOVED FROM AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION IN ASULFIDE PRECIPITATION PROCESS THAT AVOIDS GENERATION OF NOXIOUS AMOUNTS OF HYDROGEN SULFIDE AND THE FORATION OF SOLUBLE COMPLEXES OF SULFIDE IONS. SULFIDE ION AND A HEAVY METAL ION THAT FORMS A SULFIDE HAVING A HIGHER EQUILIBRIUM SULFIDE ION CONCENTRATION THAN THE SULFIELD OF THE HEAVY METAL POLLUTANT ARE ADDED TO THE SOLUTION. THE ADDED HEAVY METAL ACTS AS A SCAVENGER FOR EXCESS SULFIDE. IN SOME CASES THE ADDED HEAVY METAL AND THE HEAVY METAL POLLUTANT FORM CO-PRECIPITATES WHICH RESULT IN MORE COMPLETE REMOVAL OF THE POLLUTANT ION THAN COULD BE ACHIEVED BY SULFIDE PRECIPITATION OF THE POLLUTANT ALONE.
