It depends on the toxins that are present and what you are separating them from. Each method has it's own application. For example, let's say that you are removing toxins from water. If the toxins are large enough to be filtered out, then filtration could be used. If the toxins are chemical, then catalytic treatment could be used to convert the toxins into something nontoxic. If the toxins are organic, Chemical treatments (like chlorination) may be used. Ultraviolet light, high temperature, microwaves (or other radiation methods) may also be used to kill organic toxins. Various types of enzymes and bacteria can be used to effectively "eat" certain toxins. Also, certain types of plant-life have been successfully used to remove toxins from water. If all else fails, water can be distilled to separate toxins from it. Or a combination of these methods might be appropriate. Usually, industry will choose the least expensive method available to remove toxins from their waste. They have a responsibility to keep their costs down, thus allowing a better profit return to their shareholders.
