Immobilization of Trichosporon Cutaneum R57 on PVA/TEOS/MPTEOS Hybrid Matrices for Removal of Manganese Ions

Enhanced removal of manganese in organic-rich surface water by combined sodium hypochlorite and potassium permanganate during drinking water treatment

“…7 Recently, the use of synthesized polyvinyl alcohol/3-mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane/ tetraethoxysilane hybrid materials has been shown to be effective for the removal of Mn ions by adsorption. 8 Biological Mn(II) removal has been the subject of a number of studies in recent years, 9 and particularly by bio-ltration processes. 10 Soluble manganese can be removed from water by biological processes involving manganese-oxidizing bacteria, either in situ, or in sand lters.…”
