How do remove heavy metal ions from wastewater and what techniques would be best for separating a mixture of salt and sand?
Yes, now different methods have been utilized to remove heavy metals from the wastewater, such as membrane filtration, adsorption, and ion exchange. Adsorption is one of the most efficient processes to clean contaminated water. The adsorption process presents advantages such as availability, low cost, and eco-friendly nature. The conventional processes for removing heavy metals from wastewater include many processes such as chemical precipitation, flotation, adsorption, ion exchange, and electrochemical deposition. Chemical precipitation is the most widely used for heavy metal removal from inorganic effluent and the mixture of salt and sand can be separated by filtration followed by an evaporation process. Filtration can separate sand from a combination of sand and salt solution. Sand stays on the filter paper as a residue after filtering. By boiling the filtrate, common salt may now be produced.

Rk Naresh Salt/sand... Dissolve the salt off in water and filter off (or allow to settle/sediment) the sand. Discard the salt solution or evaporate to dryness to recover the salt.
Heavy metal ions - simple ion exchange column.
you can use the biosorption process for the separation of heavy metallic ions from wastewater/contaminated water/industrial effluent which is much more effective, efficient & eco-friendly technique and evaporation is one of the most easiest processes for separating sand-salt mixture following by filtration.
I would say that it depends on the need. If costing is considered, then perhaps chemical-physical treatment perhaps should be utilised. However, due to the effectiveness, membrane technologies would be the suitable approach for futher removing the heavy metals. In terms of costing, I would suggest the use of wastes as such as eggshell, rice husk, coconut husks as natural adsorbent.
Wastewater treatment often consists of removing heavy metals and/or organic compounds from effluent streams. pH adjustment by addition of acidic/basic chemicals is an important part of any wastewater treatment system as it allows dissolved waste to be separated from water during the treatment process. Conventional procedures for heavy metal removal and/or recovery from solution, include adsorption processes, chemical oxidation or reduction reactions, chemical precipitation, electrochemical techniques, evaporative recovery, ion exchange, reverse osmosis, and sludge filtration. To remove heavy metal ions from wastewater, many conventional techniques such as membrane filtration, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, chemical precipitation, electro dialysis, electrochemical treatment, and adsorption have been employed. The mixture of salt and sand can be separated by filtration followed by an evaporation process. Filtration can separate sand from a combination of sand and salt solution. Sand stays on the filter paper as a residue after filtering. By boiling the filtrate, common salt may now be produced. A separate a mixture of sand, salt and water by decantation and evaporation. Decantation will separate sand from salt and water. Sand remains in the original vessel, whereas salt and water is transferred to new vessel. Evaporation will separate salt from water.
