Abstract: A method for removing at least one pollutant from an aqueous environment comprises adding an acid to the aqueous environment to provide an acidic aqueous environment, adding a chelator solution directly to the acidic aqueous environment to achieve a precipitate of the at least one pollutant, and isolating the precipitate from the aqueous environment. The at least one pollutant may include any one or more of a heavy metal cation, an organic dye, and an active pharmaceutical ingredient.
