Can chelating ion exchange resins be used for heavy metal removal?

Anions and cations are two of the most common Ion Exchange Resins. The anion resin attracts negatively charged ions; in contrast, the cation resins attract positively charged ions. Yes, chelating ion exchange resins are specifically designed for selective heavy metal removal. They are effective in targeting metals such as copper, nickel, and zinc, making them suitable for industries where heavy metal contamination is a concern, such as mining and wastewater treatment.
