1. Nature, properties, sources
We begin by describing the nature and properties of metals and metalloids present in water. Defining the metal or metalloid species in solution is essential to understanding the mechanisms of interaction and elimination, and to selecting the optimum treatment technique based on the physicochemical properties of the species in question.
1.1 Definitions, natures, properties
A general approach to the nature of metals and metalloids can be taken from Mendeleev's periodic table of elements.
Metals and metalloids include all elements except rare gases and hydrogen (H), boron (B), carbon (C), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), fluorine (F), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S) and the halogens chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br),...
