outline how chemical precipitation is used to separate heavy metals from polluted water using analytical process as protocols

Expert Solution
Step 1

Heavy metal are toxic substance which hazardous for human life. Generally heavy metal are present in polluted water these are lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd) and so on.

Since these metals are not biodegradable, they continue to accumulate in living organisms and contribute to numerous 

diseases and disorders that end up endangering human life.

To separate the water from heavy metal there are various techniques used.

  • Chemical precipitation
  • Ion exchange 
  • Membrane filtration
  • Ultrafiltration
  • Reverse osmosis
  • Electrodialysis
  • Coagulation
  • Photocatalysis
