A hydrophilic, cellulose ester material that may be used as a filter or ion exchanger to sorb heavy metal ions, such as silver, mercury, lead, copper and cadmium, from aqueous solutions, the material having incorporated therein a high surface area zinc sulfide of at least 15 square meters per gram, and preferably at least 24 square meters per gram; and method for incorporating high surface area zinc oxide into a cellulose ester material by slurry process or solution process and converting the zinc oxide so incorporated into high surface area zinc sulfide; and product of the method.
