Abstract: Because of its superior reducing ability，nanoscale zero valent iron is widely used in environmental pollution control and repairation． Two composite materials were successfully prepared through the nanoscale zero valent iron ( nZVI) particles loaded onto macroporous anion and cation exchange resins． The paper investigated the performance of the two composites and their supports for removal of Pb ( II) from water solution，and also discussed the effect of two different structure of supports on the performance． The results indicated that D001-Fe0 obtained the highest removal efficiency and the fastest removal rate， whose support was a macroporous cation exchange resin，due to its function including ion exchange and chemical reduction．
