“…In order to solve this problem, various treatment technologies have been used to remove NH 4 + -N and Mn 2+ from potable water, including biological and physicochemical methods [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Biofilters, as a biological treatment method, have been widely applied, with the advantages of simple processing technology, strong processing capacity and low investment cost [ 4 , 11 , 12 ].…”

The high concentration of ammonium (NH4+-N) and manganese (Mn2+) in underground water poses a major problem for drinking water treatment plants. Effective catalytic oxidative removal of NH4+-N and Mn2+ by iron-manganese co-oxide film (MeOx) filters was first developed by our group in a previous study. In this study, several identical pilot-scale filters were employed to optimize the start-up process for simultaneous removal of NH4+-N and Mn2+ from potable water supplies. Experiments were conducted to assess the influence of Mn2+ concentration, Fe2+ concentration, filtration rate and dosing time on the start-up period of the filter. Results demonstrated that the ability of the filter to remove completely 1.5 mg/L NH4+-N could be achieved on the sixth day at the soonest and the removal of Mn2+ could reach 1 mg/L by the 18th day. Filter R3 feeding with 1 mg/L Fe2+, 2 mg/L Mn2+ and 3.5 mg/L MnO4− during the start-up period exhibited the optimum NH4+-N and Mn2+ removal effect. Short dosing time was not conducive to attaining full NH4+-N removal in filters, especially the activity of NO2−-N conversion to NO3−-N. The compositional analysis and element distribution analysis results demonstrated that there was an abundance of C, O, Mn, Mg, Fe, Ca and Si across the entire area of the surface of the filter media and the elemental distribution was homogeneous, which was different from the biofilter media. Knowledge-guided performance optimization of the active iron-manganese co-oxide could pave the way for its future technological use.

“…At full-scale water treatment plants, biological aerated filters (BAF) using supporting media for biofilm formation, are extensively used in China, Germany, France, and Japan for the treatment of Mn(II) [66,73]. Hasan et al [74] also studied the simultaneous removal of 99 mg/L NH 4 + -N and 5.9 mg/L Mn(II) from polluted drinking water with a BAF system, and they found that with a hydraulic retention time of 24 h, the removal efficiencies for NH 4 + -N and Mn 2+ were of 99.3% and 99.1%, respectively.…”

Removal of Manganese(II) from Acid Mine Wastewater: A Review of the Challenges and Opportunities with Special Emphasis on Mn-Oxidizing Bacteria and Microalgae

Many global mining activities release large amounts of acidic mine drainage with high levels of manganese (Mn) having potentially detrimental effects on the environment. This review provides a comprehensive assessment of the main implications and challenges of Mn(II) removal from mine drainage. We first present the sources of contamination from mineral processing, as well as the adverse effects of Mn on mining ecosystems. Then the comparison of several techniques to remove Mn(II) from wastewater, as well as an assessment of the challenges associated with precipitation, adsorption, and oxidation/filtration are provided. We also critically analyze remediation options with special emphasis on Mn-oxidizing bacteria (MnOB) and microalgae. Recent literature demonstrates that MnOB can efficiently oxidize dissolved Mn(II) to Mn(III, IV) through enzymatic catalysis. Microalgae can also accelerate Mn(II) oxidation through indirect oxidation by increasing solution pH and dissolved oxygen production during its growth. Microbial oxidation and the removal of Mn(II) have been effective in treating artificial wastewater and groundwater under neutral conditions with adequate oxygen. Compared to physicochemical techniques, the bioremediation of manganese mine drainage without the addition of chemical reagents is relatively inexpensive. However, wastewater from manganese mines is acidic and has low-levels of dissolved oxygen, which inhibit the oxidizing ability of MnOB. We propose an alternative treatment for manganese mine drainage that focuses on the synergistic interactions of Mn in wastewater with co-immobilized MnOB/microalgae.

“…The rapid transformation of C, N and other elements can occur in RBF system under the stimulation of high hydrodynamic loading and strong chemical gradients (Runkel, Mcknight, & Rajaram, 2003). Iron (Fe 2+ ) and manganese (Mn 2+ ) exist widely in groundwater, especially in Northeast China (Hasan, Abdullah, Kamarudin, & Kofli, 2015), which can result in aesthetic and operational problems such as undesirable colour, odour and staining of laundry when the groundwater is intended for potable use (Qin, Ma, Huang, & Yang, 2009). In addition, ammonium (NH 4 + ) can react with chlorine to form disinfection by‐products, producing deteriorated taste and odour of water and damage to the human nervous system (Hasan, Abdullah, Kofli, & Kamarudin, 2012).…”

Bench-scale experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of hydraulic loadings and influent concentration on the migration and biotransformation behaviour of three groundwater pollutants: ammonium (NH 4 +), iron (Fe 2+) and manganese (Mn 2+). Columns packed with aquifer media collected from a riverbank filtration (RBF) site in Harbin City, NE China were introduced synthetic groundwater (SGW) or real groundwater (RGW) were at two different constant flow rates and initial contaminant concentrations to determine the impact of system conditions on the fate of the target pollutants biotransformation. The results showed that the biotransformation rate of Fe 2+ Mn 2+ and NH 4 + decreased by 8%, 39% and 15% under high flow rate (50 L d −1) compared to low flow rate (25 L d −1), which was consistent with the residence-time
