Abstract: The controversy related to the environment pollution is increasing in human life and in the eco-system. Especially, the water pollution is growing rapidly due to the wastewater discharge from the industries. The only way to find the new water resource is the reuse of treated wastewater. Several remediation technologies are available which provides a convenience to reuse the reclaimed wastewater. Heavy metals like Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cd, Hg, etc. contributes various environmental problems based on their toxicity. These toxic metals are exposed to human and environment, the accumulation of ions takes place which causes serious health and environmental hazards. Hence, it is a major concern in the environment. Due to this concern, the significance of developing technology for removing heavy metals has been increased. This paper contributes the outline of new literature with two objectives. First, it provides the sketch about treatment technologies followed by their heavy metal capture capacity from industrial effluent. The treatment performance, their remediation capacity and probable environmental and health impacts were deliberated in this review article. Conclusively, this review paper furnishes the information about the important methods incorporated in lab scale studies which are required to identify the feasible and convenient wastewater treatment. Moreover, attempts have been made to confer the emphasis on sequestration of heavy metals from industrial effluent and establish the scientific background for reducing the discharge of heavy metals into the environment.

Abstract: The standard molar Gibbs free energies of hydration, ΔhydG°, of 109 (mainly inorganic) ions ranging in their charges from –3 to +4 have been compiled and interpreted in terms of a model used previously for other thermodynamic quantities of hydration. The main contributions to ΔhydG° are the electrostatic effects, resulting in solvent immobilization, electrostriction, and dielectric saturation in a hydration shell of specified thickness, and further such effects on the water that surrounds this shell. Other effects contribute to ΔhydG° to a minor extent only.
