Batch and pilot‐scale studies demonstrated that the addition of preformed hydrous manganese oxides (HMOs) appears to be a feasible approach to removing radium from drinking water. Major advantages of this process include use of existing treatment facilities and simplicity of operation. Furthermore, no irreversible effects are expected if the HMOs are under‐ or overdosed, other than possible inadequate radium removal or shortened filter runs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
