Abstract
This work reviews diverse advanced technologies for the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated water and soil. It covers sustainable adsorbents like biochar, plant-based activated carbon, fungal biomass, algae, and food waste-derived activated carbon for lead, chromium, mercury, copper, and zinc removal. Novel materials, including magnetic nanoparticles, metal-organic framework composites, and chitosan hydrogels, are presented for enhanced removal of arsenic, cadmium, and nickel. The application of zero valent iron nanoparticles for soil remediation is also discussed, alongside magnetic composites from waste sludge for multi-metal
removal. The research emphasizes cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and high efficiency in addressing heavy metal pollution.
