Chelation
It is a chemical process wherein the atoms of a metal in solution are "sequestered" by ring-shaped molecules. Chelating agents have now become important tools of analytical chemistry and technology

Ion Exchange
The technique of replacing electrically charged atoms or groups of atoms with others of the same charge has become increasingly useful to science and technology
