“…A number of studies have reported the performances of the agricultural waste adsorbents ( Ali, 2017 ; Surovka and Pertile, 2017 ; Bangaraiah, 2018 ; Kumar et al., 2018 ; Leizou et al., 2018 ; Badrealam et al., 2019 ). However, these studies are limited to the laboratory scale, which is unable to estimate the real operational cost.…”

Manganese has recently been a topic of interest among researchers, particularly when 1,752 million tonnes of manganese are expected to be produced by the steel industry in 2020. Manganese discharges from industrial effluents have increased manganese contamination in water sources. Its concentrations of more than 0.2 mg/L in the water sources could have negative impacts on human health and the aquatic ecosystem. Thereby, the available water treatment processes face challenges in effectively removing manganese at low cost. In response to these challenges, adsorption has emerged as one of the most practical water treatment processes for manganese removal. In particular, agricultural waste adsorbents received a lot of attention owing to their low cost and high efficiency (99%) in the removal of manganese. Therefore, this paper reviews the removal of manganese by adsorption process using agricultural waste adsorbents. The factors affecting the adsorption process, the mechanisms, and the performances of the adsorbents are elucidated in detail.
