Among the heavy metals, manganese is a very common contaminant of wastewater and …

Wastewater matrices rich in manganese triggers severe and disastrous ecological
impairments to different spheres of the receiving environment. This is attributed to the …

Naturally occurring, geogenic manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe) are frequently found dissolved
in groundwater at concentrations that make the water difficult to use (deposits, unpleasant …

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) released the fourth edition of Guidelines

Manganese (Mn), as a cofactor of multiple enzymes, exhibits great significance to the human
body, plants and animals. It is also a critical raw material and alloying element. However …

Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) as a low-cost biosorbent and activated carbon (AC) were used to
remove Mn (II). The effects of three parameters, such as pH, adsorbent dosage (C a) and …

Conventional activated sludge systems, still widely used to treat wastewater, produce large
amounts of solid waste that is commonly landfilled or incinerated. This study addresses the …

Samples of drinking water were taken during a year from two wells; all samples were tested
for pH, temperature, electric conductivity, dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen, acidity …

This study investigated the effectiveness of a biological aerated filter (BAF) as an additional
treatment in drinking water treatment plant systems for simultaneous chemical oxygen …

The natural zeolite tuff from the Vranjska Banja deposit (Serbia) has been studied as sorbent
for Mn (II) ions from aqueous solutions. The zeolite sample containing mainly clinoptilolite …
