Heavy metals are naturally occurring elements with large atomic weights and densities that are at least five times greater than those of water. Their widespread dispersion in the environment as a result of their numerous agricultural, industrial, residential, medicinal, and technical applications has raised questions about their possible consequences on human health as well as environment. A broad review of heavy metal clean-up technologies is included in this paper. The following technologies are described together with the destiny of heavy metals: Bioremediation, stabilization/solidification, separation, and concentration are examples of in-situ and ex-situ technologies. electrokinetics, Soil flushing, barriers and treatment walls, treatment by chemical, soil amendments, and phytoremediation are examples of in-situ technologies. One of the ex-situ processes is soil cleaning.
