Nowadays, the recovery processes of precious metals (PMs) from industrial wastewater streams have found significant attractions among various investigators worldwide. PMs are known as rare/noble chemical elements that their fundamental characteristics such as ductility, electrical conductivity, and resistance against corrosion have made them promising for application in industrial-based activities such as jewelry, petrochemistry, and catalysis. The main objective of this review paper is to provide an opportunity for expert as well as non-expert readers to be familiar with the state-of-the-art breakthroughs in the recovery of PMs (i.e., gold (Au), silver (Ag), platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh), iridium (Ir), osmium (Os), Rhenium (Re) and so on.) from wastewater streams. Apart from the explanation of industrial applications, the recovery process of PMs using various approaches is aimed to be interpreted comprehensively. Eventually, the advantages and disadvantages of applied techniques for the recovery of PMs are discussed, and different approaches as well as future perspectives towards their sustainable use are introduced.

如今，从工业废水流中回收贵金属 (PM) 的过程已在世界各地的各种研究人员中发现了重要的吸引力。PMs被称为稀有/贵重化学元素，它们的延展性、导电性和耐腐蚀性等基本特性使其有望在珠宝、石油化学和催化等工业活动中得到应用。这篇评论文章的主要目的是为专家和非专家读者提供一个机会，让他们熟悉 PMs（即金 (Au)、银 (Ag) 回收方面的最新突破） )、铂 (Pt)、钯 (Pd)、钌 (Ru)、铑 (Rh)、铱 (Ir)、锇 (Os)、铼 (Re) 等）来自废水流。除了工业应用的解释，旨在全面解释使用各种方法的 PM 恢复过程。最后，讨论了应用技术回收 PM 的优缺点，并介绍了其可持续利用的不同方法和未来前景。
