Dear Abdulsattar Jubair Zaben, yes polymers are used for such purposes. Polyelectrolytes in general are applied, among which, polyacrylamides are the best choice regarding cost-performance critrium. For soil treatment I have doubt on which goal you are targetting, but if radioactivity is of concern, borane compounds are used. My Regards

I agree. In addition you can find in publications a lot of recommendations e.g. http://tramfloc.com/polymers-water-clarification/

Chapter Applications of Cationic Polymers in Water Treatment

Besides currently there are a lot of publications on using conducting or conjugated polymers and their composites for removal of heavy and radioactive metals from waters Some references you can find in our recent paper Article High effectiveness of pure polydopamine in extraction of ura...

You can treat the polluted soils and waters using polymers , but the type of polymer dependent on the kind of pollutants that you want to treat , thats mean each pollutant needs a specific polymer for treatment.

Hi;

You can use polymers for treatment the polluted soils and waters, for example: cyclodextrins and derivatives for the removal of organic contaminants and metallic traces.

With my best regards

Thank you
