Abstract : The increasing contamination of water and soil by toxic metal ions has lowered significant environmental related, necessitating to development of efficient materials for metal ion removal and recovery. Composite cation changing materials have emerged as promising, the synthesize, characterization, and analysis of composite cation exchange materials designed of environmental metal ion separation. Various composite materials are synthesized by integrating inorganic and organic components, followed by functionalization with a specific ion-exchange groups to increases selectivity to understand for heavy metal. characterization of materials includes testing such as FTIR, XRD, SEM, and ion exchange capacity (IEC) to assess their structural, morphological, and ion-exchange properties. The synthesized composites exhibit high surface areas, functional group densities, and thermal stability, making them highly effective for selective remove of solid metals, such as Hg2+, Cu2+ Pb2+, Cd2+. Analytical applications of these materials in environmental remediation and metal ion recovery highlight their potential for use in water purification, wastewater treatment, and soil remediation. Furthermore, their reusability and environmental sustainability offer promising solutions for large-scale applications. Despite these advantages, challenges related to material stability, selectivity, and cost-effectiveness remain, and future research is needed to optimize these composites for industrial-scale use.
