Abstract
- Manganese pollution particularly in the form of dissolved Mn<superscript>2+</superscript> is an important problem in groundwater treatment. The main approaches for Mn<superscript>2+</superscript> removal from groundwater are chemical catalytic oxidation and biological oxidation. Their relative attribution to Mn<superscript>2+</superscript> removal and relationship has not been clarified at the matured stage. An influent of water containing 2.0 and 4.0 mg/L Mn<superscript>2+</superscript> was filtered through columns filled with manganese sand that had either been inoculated with a manganese-adapted microbial community or had been pre-oxidized with potassium permanganate. Either treatment resulted in good manganese removal capacities that maintained a final concentration in the effluent below 0.05 mg Mn<superscript>2+</superscript>/L at two concentrations for a period of 130 d. Among the matured period, the direct contribution rate of biological manganese removal was less than 20%. During operation, biological induction and chemical induction were both responsible for the formation of hexagonal Birnessite-type manganese oxide, whose physical characteristics were characterized and determined. Biological oxidation and chemical catalytic oxidation in the maturation of filter media were interlinked through the formation of Birnessite-type manganese oxide. Manganese removal during maturation was mainly attributed to cyclic autocatalysis rather than biological factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
