英文摘要：

The source,harmfulness and treatment technologies currently used for dealing with heavy metal wastewater are summarized. For example,conventional methods include chemical precipitation,electrochemistry,adsorption and membrane methods,and new treating technologies include nanotechnology,photocatalytic technique,new mesoporous materials and gene engineering technique. The principles,research advance,merits and main problems of treatment techniques are reviewed. The trends and application foreground of heavy metal removal technology for wastewater are also elaborated in this paper.
