This slide presentation outlines a study on manganese removal by oxide coatings that focused on media characterization and optimization of operational variables. Overall research objectives included:
characterize the oxide coated media for
Size and surface area, and
Oxide coating level;
conduct laboratory experiments for
Mn uptake capacity, and
examine the impact of operational variables on Mn
removal;
evaluate laboratory and full scale media
regeneration requirements for both online and
offline use of oxidants; and,
guidance and documentation. Laboratory experiments included:
extraction of metal oxide coatings on media
(Mn, Al, Fe, Cu, Ca);
Mn uptake capacity: compare media collected
from different plants; and,
column experiments: Impact of operational
variables on Mn+2 removal. Includes figures.
